Five Months

Actually if I'm being completely accurate, it's five and a third months, but who's counting?  Oh right.  I am.

I am in total disbelief that out sweet baby girl is already five months old.  Time flew by with Hunter, but it's going even faster with Charlotte.  She's so sweet and smiley and brings so much joy to all of us. 

Here are a few of my favorite things about Charlotte right now...

*Her melt-your-heart smile.  Every time we go in to pick her up out of her crib, she smiles the biggest, sweetest smile you've ever seen. 

*How she laughs with her brother.  She's really been paying a lot of attention to Hunter lately.  He will smile at her or talk to her and she starts laughing so hard, which of course makes him start laughing.  It's been one of the best feelings I've had as a parent so far.

*That she's sitting.  Yay!  Char started sitting in really short spurts a couple of weeks ago, but last week she sat for several minutes for us.  We were all so excited for her...

*All of the vocal play.  Of course I love this...it's a professional obligation.  Her newest sound is this shrieky scream.  And yes, it is literally a scream.  I don't think love would actually be the best word to describe my feeling for it (especially after, oh I don't know, one minute), but I wanted to document it so I wouldn't forget.

*How cute she is in her high chair.  We started rice cereal this weekend, and she is such a little peanut in that big ole high chair...

I love you so much Charlotte, and I'm so thankful that God has let me be your mommy!  You are such a perfect part of our family!
