5 Months

Sept 11th, 2001 was an earth shattering day. Many lives were lost and individuals, along with our country, will never be the same. Today, marks the 10 year anniversary, and I have never been more grateful or more prayerful for this country.


On a lighter note, today also marks 5 months of life for my sweet Brooklyn! My life has changed in many ways over the past 10 years. One of the best moments was becoming a mom again for the second time!

Brooklyn,
You are a doll! Everyone comments on how perfect your features are and how beautiful you look! You are a complete joy! Today, you have a pretty bad cough because of the weather change, but otherwise you are a happy and healthy 5 month old. Here are all your recent stats:

-wearing size 2 diapers
-wearing size 3-6 month clothing
-still nurse about every 3 hours.
-eat cereal in the morning and a vegetable at dinner. Apparently, this has made you plump up too! At your 4 month well check you weighed 13.8. On Friday I took you to the doctor because of your cough and you weigh 15.3. My growing girl! You still feel so small to me though and still look to be pretty short! You are pretty on target as far as clothes go too.
-sleeps from about 9-7 and takes two or three naps during the day.
-rolling both ways
-starting to mimic sounds that we make
-"talking" and laughing all the time
-adore your big sister
-starting to roll over while sleeping and finishing your nap on your tummy
-refuses to take a paci and would prefer not to have a bottle. You would much rather eat your baby food or nurse from mama!
-drooling a ton.....maybe teething....?

I can hardly believe 5 months have past! You are my precious angel and I love you more and more everyday!

Here you are napping! When you wake, I'll get your actual 5 month picture.
