5 Months!!!

My baby is 5 months old. It feels like it has been forever and no time at all...crazy how that works. She is just getting so cute and full of personality. She loves playing with her toys and she can actually play with them now. Her toes have become a favorite toy. She holds them, sucks on them, uses the to push things and pick things up. She knows what a rattle is for and makes plenty of noise.

Macy has quite the sense of humor. She thinks it is the funniest thing to bite me while nursing, and when I say no or ouch, she laughs and laughs and laughs. It is so hard to keep a straight face because she is just so cute when she laughs. She also LOVES her voice...when she makes a new noise, she smiles like she did something so cool. She also likes to make raspberries with her tongue all the time...she gets spit everywhere.

Macy remains to be super laid back and calm...she is my angel baby. People are usually very impressed by how mild mannered she is. If I could 10 babies like her, I would.

Macy is getting close to sitting by herself, she can do it for a couple of seconds before she falls. She started rolling over from her back to her tummy last week. She was trying to get her toy and over she went. She wasn't so sure what happened. Whenever she rolls over, it is an accident, but that just means that she wont be moving around and I wont have to chase after her...so I'll take it.

As you can probably see, Macy is still super tall and skinny. She just keeps growing longer and longer, her chub just can't keep up. Because she isn't all chubby, she looks so much older. Everytime I look at her, I just can't believe how much she has grown up...she looks like a little girl already.



Macy is definitely interested in the world around her. This also has some negative effects for some people that meet her. Instead of just smiling and being happy with everyone she meets, she sometimes just investigates them or cries. I'm not sure what makes her like someone right away and why with others she is more stand offish, but I fear that stranger anxiety is coming on.

Macy's favorite position to be in is standing...when I sit her down, she many times tries to stand up. She is so close to standing on her own...it's crazy. I can just support her thighs and she balances herself...or I hold her hands and she can support herself(but she has been doing that for a couple months).

Clark and I have done some at home measurements...so she approximately weighs 15 lbs and she is around 28 inches long.

We LOVE da Macy!!!
