4-5 months :)

My growing beauty,

your 5 months old already! Today is September 18,2012, and since our last blog you've grown in so many ways.


You started using your hands a whole lot more than before, grabbing at things (more than before), holding them without letting them go a lot longer, staring at your fingers, twirling your thumb between each of your other fingers. .You also enjoy playing with your feet, you even put your toes up to your mouth :)

 

And you seem to enjoying pulling at my hair, but it just makes me laugh :). Your always taking mine and your daddy's glasses off, a couple of times you've smacked them right off our faces!

Another thing you have started to do recently, is make noises I like to call your monster noises. I'm not sure if you are trying to say something or simply having fun with the things your able to do. I'll get a recording of that soon!


You can sit up unsupported only for a few seconds before you slowly start to lean your belly on your legs.






  As for crawling, we aren't there yet, but we keep giving you tummy time to help you get there. You like to play in that position, you do this thing that is like your gliding through the air. I'll have to get a picture of that. You also play around to were it is almost as if your doing push ups. You do that "push up" thing even when your in our arms, it's too funny. I have a video of it and I have many other videos in an account I opened to make mini videos of you :) www.viddy.com/mapbarrientos

This has been since forever, but thought to point it out as it is definitely more obvious now how much you want to eat what we are eating! You stare at us like a hawk while we eat and sometimes try to grab at our food, especially when I'm holding you and eating at the same time :)
Another thing you've done for a long while now, but I don't think I've mentioned it, your always pouncing your arms against your stomach and chest, like a lil' gorilla. It is too cute!!
You also, again for a while now, get mad when we walk away from you. For example if you are in your daddy's arm, sitting down, I come by, but don't get you, you sometimes get mad and yell! You do the same to your daddy, whenever you guys are just hanging out and he steps out of whatever room for some reason, you sometimes get after him too! <3

This month, as always was full of blessings, but we also went through your first time of really being ill. We had to take you to the hospital over the weekend with a high fever, vomiting and diarrhea. Just until recently you completely were 100% better, with finally no diarrhea. The fever part was the worst. I could see it in you, how you were feeling and it hurt not being able to do anything, but you did find comfort in your mommy's arms- me! :) You were terca about not taking medicine and just wouldn't, throwing it up if you had happened to swallow some. But finally you are all better and healthy :)

Jungle River Cruise/Last pair of earrings you wore!

This past month you had your first boat ride! We went on a jungle river cruise, you seemed to enjoy looking around :)


We also decided to remove your earrings because your ears weren't looking healthy. We will leave it up to you in the future if and when you want to pierce them again.

You laugh and smile so much it makes everything worth while, we love you so much!
