My Sweet Adelaide,
We have been having too much fun, which must be why time is FLYING by! Happy 5 month birthday!(well, 5 months and 4 days now!) The past couple months have seen a lot of growth and you are starting to show more and more personality. Since I posted last, you've had your 4 month check up which included 2 more shots and a vaccine by mouth (yuck, sorry!). The doctor was very pleased with your progress (15lbs 3oz, 25 inches long) and you are hitting milestones like nobody's business. Last week, we had to take you to the doc again because you started running a fever and gunk was coming out your eye faster than we could clean it (makes for some crusty morning eyes!) The crazy doctor prescribed you amoxicillin, which until last night I held off on giving to you because I hoped your body would fight the infection on its own (it did a darn good job, just wore you out and we finally decided to give your body some rest and help it out a little) Right now you are sleeping soundly in your crib while shaneandshane pandora station sings sweetly through your dreams :) On the night before you turned 5 months, you wowed us by sitting completely unsupported for several minutes, and even with a few sways and near-falls, you were able to catch yourself and push yourself back up. Good work!! You can roll all over the place and are starting to get frustrated enough that I believe you will be crawling really soon! We are so proud of you and everyday is so much fun! You are such a happy baby and lately your sweet giggles have transformed even the worst of moods. Today daddy and I have both been fighting headaches, but when you're around, they don't seem so bad (even when you are screeching/stretching your vocal chords and figuring out all the sounds you can make) Indie and you are becoming buddies and we love watching your face light up everytime she comes near you (and seeing you search for her when she leaves) Ah, sweet girl, you make my heart burst. I can't wait until you wake up and share your precious smile with us again. Until then, sweetest of dreams. Your mommy and daddy think the world of you.
