5 months

Sweet B...
I cannot believe I met you 5 months ago today.
time. has. flown.
You are such a gorgeous little baby, inside and out.
You make my heart melt all the time.

Your favorite form of entertainment is your big sister.
When she is around you, nothing else matters in the world.
She loves you just as much as you love her.
Seeing you two interact already is so incredible.
Nothing makes you laugh and smile quite like Abigail!

You continue to be my snuggle bug, and I cherish that so much.
I love that you nuzzle into me when I am holding you.
You hug my chest when you are ready to nurse, and that makes me smile, it is so sweet.
You love to be rocked and expect it now at night night time.
I love how your tiny tongue quivers behind your paci whenever you are happy,
and it quivers as I rock you until you go to sleep.

We are still working on this sleep thing.
This past week we started some "sleep training", and you are doing so good...
Im so proud of you baby girl.
But I have to admit...even though I know it's best for us right now,
I completely miss sleeping next to you at night, with you cuddled right up next to me all night long.
But I am still getting some sleepy snuggles at nap time whenever I can.

You love your daddy, and light up when he is around.
He adores you too, his little beauty.
Your hair gets more auburn every day, which is such a beautiful surprise.
You love to roll over, sit in your Bumbo, and chew on your feet.
You are basically a happy little camper (unless you get over tired).
You have already survived your first virus and it was terrible...but you made it through.

At your last appointment, you weighed a little over 13 pounds,
and your height, weight, and head were all in about the 15th percentile.
You are just my dainty little lady!
Your personality requires a little more reassurance than your big sister did,
but I am sure that as you grow and learn what a precious child of God you are,
your confidence will grow.
I pray daily for Him to show me how to lead you in that.

I am amazed by you, little one.
Happy 5 months today Bethany Len!!
