Five Months Old

Today, Maddie turns 5 months old. On a daily basis, Eric and I are amazed by how much she's grown and continues to grow physically and developmentally. Maddie is so much fun to be around, and can make your day with her joyful smiles. We're so lucky to have such a happy baby, who loves life as much as she does.

Some things we want to remember about Maddie at 5 months old:
  • She loves to touch our faces, especially when being held.

  • She enjoys playing with her feet and batting at toys with her feet.

  • She loves to sit-up and stand-up with assistance. Being upright is the best!

  • She wathces us eat intently. Watch out solid foods, Maddie's coming very soon!

  • Just recently, she's started to reach out and grab for just about everything. If it's in her reach, she wants it.

  • While being held, she loves to stare into your eyes and study you.

  • She's really good at holding her head and shoulders up while lying down. She looks like she's doing crunches or pilates.

  • The exersaucer is her favorite toy, although her burp cloth is a close second.

  • She loves to stick out her tongue and be silly.

  • She still loves people and smiles at anyone who will look at her.
