5 months

My sweet, smart and funny little girl, you make me smile, even if you are a terrible sleeper. This month was filled with many fun milestones. Even though you won't remember, you got to see snow for the first time. Turns out you are a good little traveler, too. You did well on your first airplane ride, even if it was a short flight. Your bottom two teeth came in, one just after you turned 4 months and the other at 4 1/2 months. You started to sit up unassisted for a few seconds at 4 1/2 months but now, at about 5 1/2 months, are able to sit up completely on your own. You are starting to get into a crawl position although you haven't figured out how to crawl just yet. You love to be the center of attention and voice your disapproval when we leave you alone in your room to play. You are able to work to get a toy that is out of reach and object when a toy is taken away. You like when I play peek-a-boo with you. You love to study your tiny little hands and are mesmerized by the world around you. At your last pediatrician appointment, the doctor said you were very 'purposeful.' I think this word describes you perfectly.
