You are five months old already. It's hard to believe until I try to pick you up and realize how much bigger you are now. You're good at rolling over, and you're working hard to get your legs in the right places to start crawling. I'm guessing it won't be very long until you're really moving yourself around. It's been a while since we played the game Chase the Baby, and this time we'll have a toddler playing, too. Ready, set, where'd she go?
This month, we gave you rice cereal for the first time. You had been looking interested in our food for a while, but your staring had gotten downright accusatory. You even started making angry noises at us, so we figured we'd better see if you were interested in the solids. You're very enthusiastic about it, but still terribly messy, of course. You don't really know what to do with your tongue yet and it doesn't really help that you try to suck on your toes at the same time.
You're gaining a bedroom this month! Dad decided a while ago that we should move the office down to the basement so that you can have your own room. This is good on many levels. It means that Dad got rid of a bunch of stuff in the basement. It means we'll get rid of a bunch of stuff in the office. It means the office got a good cleaning. And hopefully it'll mean that you'll start having a better bedtime routine and sleeping better. At least, it will mean that I can ignore you more. Which is my goal, really, to ignore my kids as much as possible. So far, it's not going so well.
You still have blue eyes.
Love,
Mom
