5 Months!

Five Months!

Might me one of my favorite baby months. I remember Ari at this age; they grow so quickly. Ashlyn is such a little chunky little muffin. Her skin is so soft and her demeanor is sweet, gentle and kind. She doesn't even shout much when she's hungry. She just whines, grunts and moans. No shrieking or shouting (like her sister!). Ashlyn does NOT sleep well though. Naps are sporadic and infrequent. She wakes up frequently in the night and though she falls asleep after eating, I'm not able to get her to sleep longer than 5 or 6 hours at a time. I.AM.TIRED.

What she lacks in sleep consistency, she makes up for in smiles. This girl never stops smiling. She laughs, giggles and talks all day long! Ashlyn smiles with her mouth wide open, like she's shouting. Her toothless little gums are such a sweet sweet feature.

Ashlyn loves to roll around on the floor. She'll spot something and roll towards it till she grabs it and puts it directly into her mouth! The girls are learning to share and are beginning to play well together. They giggle often at each other making my heart melt daily.

Ashlyn might sprout a tooth earlier than Ari (7 mo) but we'll see. She is chewing on everything. Ashlyn loves her bunny and the taggie ball. She loves to stand in the exercauser thingy and stands there while I cook! She is a great baby and brings much joy in our home!
