Audrey 5 Months

Audrey is already 5 months old. That is almost half a year. What the hell. I swear she was just born.

She has been busy growing and developing. In the last month she has started to roll over a lot more, though she still only does it when she feels the need. She is an independent lady already.

She is super close to sitting up on her own, she can do it for about 5 seconds before she tips over.

She has learned to suck her thumb, she sleeps without her swaddle, she loves to eat milksicles from her mesh feeder, and she loves to giggle and play.
Sucking her thumb.

Audrey really is a very happy, fun baby. We are so blessed.

Of course there have been challenges this month as well. Getting rid of the swaddle took some work, and there is always sleep. But the hardest thing was Audrey getting sick for the first time. She is getting better now but she had a terrible sounding cough and runny nose for about a week. She still feels that having ones nose wiped or suctioned is pure torture. So that is fun. As if it isn't already hard enough to suck a babies nose, we got to do it to a screaming, flailing baby every single time. Joyful. Thankfully this sickness was not too bad, no fever, no doctor and she is starting to act like herself again.

There clearly has not been a shortage of food in this house. That little lady is starting to make that purple mouse look like a mouse. Getting big so fast.

To sum up your month my sweet baby I will again, list a few things you do and do not like.

Things Audrey Loves Right Now
  • Watching the pets
  • Her monster (we need to order a backup she loves that little dude)
  • Old McDonald
  • Her swing
  • Teething rings
  • Milksicles
  • Pirate sounds
  •  Kicking her feet
  • Talking (some may say screeching)
  • Freddie and Morty
  • Rolling around
Things Audrey Hates Right Now
  • Getting her face wiped
  • Getting her nose sucked
  • Riding in the ergo
  • Being sick
  • Cuddling
  • Forced tummy time
  • Not being able to see what is going on all the time
  • Mommy and me yoga
Still more loves than hates. Hopefully it will remain that way always.

I can't believe Audrey has already been with us for 5 months. She is such a blessing. We love you to the moon little lady!
