Annie- 5 Months Old

So it's been a month… I know how much you've missed us. I kid. I kid. Really though, it's amazing how fast a month flies by these days. Thinking back to our NICU days, a month felt like an eternity. Now I blink and poof there it goes. Our Annie girl is 5 months old. Holy moly! She's as perfect and wonderful as ever!

Here are some things about our sweet girl at 5 months ( 2 months adjusted):

-We go to the doctor this week but my guess is at least 9.5 pounds. I'll update for sure when I find out.

-Girl.Can.Eat. Wowza… she is an endless pit that no amount of milk can fill. Well really about 24 ounces a day fills her but it seems like she is constantly wanting a snack. This is a good thing though! I am so used to dealing with her brother (who, I swear, eats only enough to keep himself from passing out) so it is nice to see her so worked up about food.

-Speaking of getting worked up… Annie can be slightly dramatic. She lets you know if something does not please her- including:
-bath time
-diaper changes
-dress-up sessions
-her car seat
-car rides
-not being held
-wanting a bottle/paci

-Even though she has a list of things that irritate her, she can be the sweetest baby with the biggest smile. A smile that leaves my heart in a big puddle of love.

-She rolled over from her front to back. This is not a consistent skill yet but we are still practicing!

-She is officially in 3 month clothing.

-She has developed a relationship with her brother. Annie loves to watch him play. She focuses on everything he does. Owen has begun to include her as well. He gives her toys (although she doesn't know what to do with it) and plays peek-a-boo with her. Just the other day he tried to carry her. It was a shock to me as well as Annie! I can see the bond forming…SLOWLY but surely.

-She has now been home from the NICU for as long as she was there. Insanity. The time we spent there felt like an eternity. However, it feels like we just brought her home. 78 glorious days this Friday.


Happy 5 months Annie-cakes!
