Dear Charlee Jean,
You are already 5 months old sweet girl! While I'm late getting this recap posted, I did actually take the pictures a couple of weeks ago...so that's progress, right?
I just can't get over how the months are flying by. You are definitely growing and changing, but I don't realize how much you are until I see old pictures. You have your 6 month appointment in a couple of weeks and I'm anxious to see what you're tipping the scales at...although you look like you have thinned out and gotten longer.
You are a giggling fool! Mostly at your daddy, but Sutton has figured out how to make you giggle now too. She makes sneeze noises or tickles your belly and you just love it.
In fact, the day I was taking your pictures your sister caught us in the act and decided to join us for the photo shoot. I love this picture of her holding you...you really just adore her. Most of the time, anyway. You do seem to be showing some pretty serious signs of teething, so maybe soon?
You have really started interacting and playing this month. You grab everything you can get your hands on and we've officially entered the stage where it's challenging to eat or do anything with you on my lap. Sometimes when your sister is smothering you as usual, you like to pull her hair or grab her cheeks. She gets so mad but I can't help but laugh. I predict quite a few scrap sessions in the future.
She does love you so very much though. She is a bit extreme in the "ways" she shows you she loves you, but for the most part she's pretty nice...I think she just doesn't know how to control her excitement sometimes. You are such a good sport. And you are most DEFINITELY always Choo Choo and Chewy...I'm sorry sister, but even your daddy and I have picked up on that nickname from your sister.
Here is the monthly comparison. I've said it before and it still holds true this month...you look more like Sutton does right now. You guys are definitely looking more and more alike each day.
We sure do love you baby girl! I can't believe 6 months is just around the corner...I hear that's when things with 2 kiddos will really start to get interesting. Take it easy on me and daddy, okay? :)
Love Mommy,
OXOX
