laughing: I don't know very many people that can get Kirby to laugh REALLY HARD- his daughter is one of them though. We have had some good times laughing so hard with our little lady, it makes my eyes water. Who would have thought a 5-month-old could be SO funny?! She has finally started to get this giggle that when you hear it, you can't help but laugh yourself.
sitting: her preferred position. One that I love just as much as her. We still put the pillows around her as cushion for when she leans just a little too far and crashes...but she's doing soo well, I even feel safe being in the other room.
pooping: Now this is big for us. Anners has never been a good pooper...man the trauma we have been through with her belly aches...although she still prefers the "belly hold" facing out. Yesterday she pooped 5 times...which also resulted in her VERY FIRST diaper rash...not fun...so she got to go without a diaper for a few hours, and made for a rough night, but we did pretty good with treatment so it's all cleared up now.
sleeping: She is the best sleeper and always has been...I've never had to do anything to get her to sleep through the night. Although she actually just started waking up once at night, which I totally am okay with because she takes the BEST naps and I need her nap time as much as she does...trying to move in, clean, and organize this new home is MUCH easier with a sleeping baby.
eating: was not one of her strong points but now: she eats her rice cereal, takes a bottle and is still, still nursing (the correct way) nights and mornings...honey, you rock!
dancing: We love to put music on and dance. It would probably be embarrassing for me if anyone ever walked in on it, (I'm not one to brag about my dancing skills, although I've always found it fun, you can ask my cousin Kelliann if you want some good details about that) Some of my favorite dance songs (I don't know the real titles, sorry): "Hey Soul Sister" and "It's Gonna Be a Good Night" sorry no pictures of this :)
playing: she will just sit and play by herself. It's great fun to watch her entertain herself...it's a treat, that's for sure. And we love playing with her, of course. She isn't the fragile baby she once was, she loves being tossed in the air, swung in circles and any sort of swinging, shaking and bouncing...in moderation of course.Some other things she likes to do is: STILL loves looking in the mirror, her showers, hanging out with other kids, and babbling.
She's already loving being the center of attention... :Sthe loving: she is so loving. She will give hugs. I love her hugs when she puts her arms up around my neck. When she is sitting on your lap, she will just turn her head and look up just to smile at you (what a cutie, you just want to squeeze her!!) She also started this new thing were she will pull her face so close to yours that your noses touch and then she smiles at you and it makes your heart melt. It's the greatest feeling and our love for her grows everyday, it really is incredible to be a parent.
