5 Months Old

Today our little girl is 5 months old. It hardly seems possible that we have had almost half a year with her. We could never have imagined how much fun it is to be parents. Avery makes us laugh every day with her silly faces, funny noises and never-ending curiosity. Here are a few stats and highlights from this month:

• Takes 3 2-hour naps during the day
• Sleeps 12 hours at night
• Rolls over from tummy to back and back to tummy, but prefers to play on her tummy

• Sucks her thumb while sleeping

• Sticks out her tongue on purpose
• Imitates noises that we make (cooing, blowing bubbles)
• Laughs and giggles at funny noises or funny faces we make to her

• Does not like when Mommy hands her to the nursery workers at church, but does fine if she is playing on the floor when Mommy leaves.
• Smiles at anyone who talks to her

We thank the Lord for each day He gives us with Avery Lyn. Happy 5 months, sweet girl!
