Dear TT-
Five months??? FIVE months? Hold the phone here. Where in the world did that time go? Too fast, too too too fast, baby girl! It’s already April and it feels like Christmas was just yesterday. I blinked my eyes and you went from being a tiny little potato who could barely look around without her eyes crossing to a roly poly 16lb blonde haired blue eyed smiler who is almost ready to sit on her own!
You are such a happy baby. You wake up happy, you smile at everyone and you seem to have a pretty darn good time whatever we are doing. Your favorite person is Mommy, as it should be :), followed closely by Q and Daddy. You’re old enough that know when a “stranger” is holding you and you don’t like that very much at all. That’s not great for babysitting purposes but we are working on it. We’re also working on getting you to take a bottle. We haven’t been very good at practicing though. We really need to work on that!
You have rolled both ways by now but you don’t do it regularly. You’re getting really good at sitting up and when you’re on your back you constantly try to sit up. It makes bath time very interesting! You grab everything within reach and put things straight into your mouth. Nothing is safe from your chubby little hands. 🙂 It’s time to start babyproofing things around here. I have a feeling you’re going to take off in a few months and turn our world upside down. Q is going to be totally amazed when you become mobile.
I hope you don’t mind that I talk so much about your chub. I LOVE how big you are. I love each and every roll on your thighs, your huge cheeks and big soft belly. Whenever I smother you with kisses I can’t help but marvel at the fact that I MADE that. You grew inside my body and I’ve fed you from my body for the past five months so I’m pretty proud of every ounce of you. Only one more month before you start solids. I’m not ready but I think you will be!
Sleep? ehhhhh… I’m going to call Fight Club on this one but you nap for me and you can go to sleep on your own so you’re doing ok by my estimation. Your sister is still giving us a run for our money and between the two of you, Daddy and I pretty much hate the hours of 7:30-10:00PM but we have nowhere to go but up!
My wish right now is that I had more time to spend with you one on one. That’s something that I’m trying to work on. I love napping together and snugglenursing. It’s kind of my favorite thing. Balancing two kids is no joke but we’re learning and we’re getting better.
This might be my favorite picture if us that I have. So sweet and so representative of us right now.
Right now you like “singing” and exploring the noises you are able to make. You do this a LOT. You love when we actually sing to you too. Q has started serenading you on a regular basis which makes my heart explode.
Little TT, you light up my world. I love that you look like me and I love that you’re so happy to be a part of our little world.
Love you always and always,
Mommy
