Our little Riley Bug will be 5 months tomorrow. Where has the time gone? It seems like I was just sitting in the hospital holding her in my arms for the first time.
<3 She will be sound asleep and then two seconds later you will look at her and she is wide awake. Like eyes wide open smiling and ready to go awake!
<3 She's a shrimpy little thing compared to her sisters. She is as long as they were at this age but she only weighs about 12 1/2 pounds so she is quite the lightweight! Don't let her weight fool you though she has the cutest dimply thighs!
<3 She has found her voice...and loves to use it. She is constantly talking/screeching at high pitched volumes.
<3 She is SO happy. She is always smiling and laughing. If she is hungry or tired she starts basically yelling at me. Other than that she is amazing.
<3 She loves to sit on her Dad's lap and watch basketball with him. She will hold so still and just stare at the tv!
<3 She HATES when you make her lay down in your arms. She will arch her back and fling her arms around trying to get out of your arms so that she can get down and play or sit up and see what everyone is doing!
<3 She is the easiest baby. She loves to lay on the ground and play with her toys or entertain herself by grabbing her feet and try to pull off her socks so she can suck on her toes.
<3 She rolls all over the place. I walk out of the room and when I come back 2 seconds later she is clear across the room trying to lick the couch.
<3 She gets super hyper and excited around 10pm at night and just wants to laugh and play...and we usually do because it is so fun to play peek-a-boo with her and listen to her laugh hysterically!
<3 She is a Momma's girl (which is TOTALLY okay with me!) She lights up whenever we make eye contact and when she is tired she will cry if she sees me walk out of the room. I love that she will snuggle right up into my neck when she is tired and will rub my face with her hands while she falls asleep!
<3 Feeding her has turned into somewhat of a nightmare. I love being able to breastfeed and have a food supply always on hand but man it is hard to get her to focus on eating. She has to be grabbing my necklace, playing with my earrings, shoving her fingers in my mouth. When I do feed her I have to go in the other room usually because if there is ANY sound she will rip her head around to the sound usually taking me with her...not fun...
<3 She loves to chew on things. Her fingers, the side of her pacifier, toys, toes, my fingers, you name it! She is a total slobber bucket too. She is always drooling!
<3 She grabs anything within her reach and won't let go of it. She has lightening quick hands and has more than once ripped a cup out of my hand and tried to take a drink! Once she gets her hands on something there is no letting go either. She holds on to it with the worst death grip ever!
<3 She loves her sisters and starts laughing in a high pitched voice whenever they talk to her!
She is such a joy to have and we love making her laugh! Here is hoping that the next couple months slow down. I am not ready for her to grow up!
