5 months? What? How is this possible?! We've been so incredibly busy this past month, I can't even fully comprehend it to be honest. I feel like I struggle to get things accomplished in a timely manner sometimes because I'm busy learning my new job and busy being a kick ass mom. Laundry just takes a backseat. ;) I did make a legit dinner tonight so I feel pretty good about that, but then we had to inhale it to get Charlie into the bathtub before she slipped past the "I'm so tired" zone and into "Fuck this, I'm done" territory. We nailed it. We had our Mommy Snuggles and she was out like a light. She's finally getting over this cold/flu bug thing and I'm pretty happy to see her back to her normal self, though I'm fearful that she's now teething. Perhaps her 6 month update will include a new tooth! I didn't get teeth until much later but I'm not sure if that's a hereditary thing or just luck of the draw.
Okay, here's the run down on our 5th month together!
The stats...
18 pounds of cheeks. My arms have never been better toned. (Woof)
Charlotte loves...
- "Gabby the Ghost Owl" (this Taggie blanket) at bedtime
- bath time! She starts kicking her legs like a frog the moment she touches the water and is all giggles the entire time she's in the tub.
- Mortimer the Moose (one does not simply leave home without it)
- her banana toothbrush (it's this teething toy I again randomly ordered on Amazon)
- Momma & Daddy! We walk into the room and she lights up; it's a mostly AMAZING feeling ;)
- Momma Snuggles (this is our time for nursing)
Charlotte does not love...
- being sick (homegirl had her first major illness and was home from school 2 days this week with a fever)
- being alone in the carseat
Our fashionista is wearing...
- 9 month outfits
- Size 3 diapers
The past month...
- Charlotte is a boss at rolling from her back to her belly, but then gets stuck.
- Charlotte talks and giggles a LOT, especially during her midnight diaper change.
- We moved to a new house! Charlotte has a brand new nursery! Pictures someday........ maybe.
- Charlotte started at her new school and has done a great job adjusting to the new people, new place, and new cootie bugs. She got her first cold/flu bug and while obviously miserable, she still managed to smile!
- CHRISTMAS! Oh my goodness, this little bug was so spoiled, it's ridiculous. We had such a wonderful first Christmas with her and I am so excited that next Christmas, we'll be in our house and can start our traditions as a little family! Many thanks to my parents for their hospitality and letting us stay with them for 2 weeks while we waited to close on our home. We couldn't have done it without them.
Coming up...
- Nothing major is planned for the coming month although I do need to call Birth to Three (it's Wisconsin's equivalent to Early Intervention) for Charlie's referral for her trunk muscles. She's doing better, but still isn't rolling from belly to back and despises tummy time. I also have noticed she seems to favor one arm. I'm hoping she'll qualify (though I doubt she's at a 25% delay) or that they'll give me some ideas beyond "more tummy time."
- 6 months is a shot month... so we've got that coming for us ;)
