FIVE
Woah, this month you have grown so much and I know I have said this before but it STILL amazes me how you are literally growing right before my eyes. You have learned so much this past month. You finally rolled over from stomach to back, hallelujah! You are our little noise maker constantly telling us stories and letting us know what's going on. You have discovered your m's and b's and enjoy letting the world know that you are here to have some fun.You are still reaching for everything and straight to the mouth it goes. I think we can officially say that you are teething because we have drool everywhere. Outside is still your favorite. You love going for walks and trying to take in all your surroundings, you hardly ever hold still. Always squirming around trying to get the best view. You love singing along to songs in the back seat of the car & gnawing away on Sophie the Giraffe. You LOVE your toes. As long as you can reach your toes you will be forever entertained.
We visited a local Pumpkin Patch this past month to enjoy the lovely east coast Fall. Even though you are still a little young for things like that it still makes me so excited to experience it with you. We fed the ducks and you were amazed by how the ducks surrounded daddy and then you snoozed on me while daddy & I went apple picking. It was a pretty fantastic day and I look forward to so many more with you.
You demand all of our attention and I'm completely okay with that. You really don't like to lay down but prefer that someone stands you up and you are really getting the hang of sitting and hanging out in your bumbo. I'm a little nervous about going home for the upcoming Holidays because you will have your first plane ride and you really haven't been held by too many other people. I'm so excited for your first Christmas and you seeing all the snow and lights. I am ready to go home so everyone can see how much you have grown and you can spend time with family. Not having family around has been difficult and I am so ready for a few weeks at home. I was thinking about it a few days ago and I really don't think you have been held by anyone else besides your father and I since you were a month old.
I really feel like I'm getting the hang of this whole mom thing as well. When you were first born I was scared out of my mind of this little being that I constantly had to take care of and couldn't go anywhere without but now you are my best friend that I love spending my days with. You are a pretty chill baby, perfectly content hanging out at home. We rock out to music and you help me bake up yummy things and by helping I mean watching with a very concerned eye on how much of a mess that mommy is making.
You are such a happy baby boy filling our home with so much love & giggles. Your daddy and I can't get enough of you. Your personality is developing so much with your little snorts and crazy face making and I am always in awe of watching you learn new things. You give my life a purpose that I have spent the last 27 years of my life looking for. All the ups and down of life has brought me to you my sweet baby boy. You bring a warm, never ending love to my heart that is so pure and joyous.
