5 Months
On Tuesday Rachel turned 5 months, and I am more in love with her than ever. I love the way she loves me. I love to watch her little ankles circle around and her feet rub together when she nurses. I love how she giggles when I zip up her jammies. I love how she squints at the loudness of her own delightful squeals. I love holding her in my lap and feeding her an entire mug of rice cereal with applesauce, one tiny spoonful at a time. I love having her crib in our bedroom (even if it does mean getting up sometimes several times a night to sleepily cross the room and retrieve a lost pacifier.) I love how, when I lay her down, her little arms flap and flail until I give her the pacifier, then her eyes roll back and she caresses her blanket until she falls asleep. I am definitely finding more enjoyment with each baby, and the time seems to pass more quickly (which is sad in some regard but also a blessing.) I could definitely do a lifetime of this.

Wow, I can't believe how big she is getting! She doesn't look like a newborn anymore-she looks like a sweet little baby, and I can't wait to see her again, when that time comes!!
ReplyDeleteShe is really a cutie pie!
ReplyDeleteShe is growing so fast and she is strikingly beautiful.
ReplyDeleteIts funny because she seems so much older than Michael to me....but in a few years, all these kids that were born within months of each other will pretty much be the same age. I can't wait for that...... =)
Heehee! She's so cute and squishy! I love it. She really does look so much like you!
