5 Months

"Makaila is...so big!"

Makaila is growing up so fast!  I can't keep up with this girl.  She has so much personality and makes our days so entertaining and interesting. At 5 months she:

• Talks and talks and talks
• Loves to talk so much that she tries to hold conversations while eating (also likes to blow bubbles while eating or chewing on a finger, hand, etc)
• Has started running her fingers through her mom's hair.  Sometimes she tries to eat it but mostly she just likes to feel it
• Can travel across a room in seconds with a combination of rolling and scooting
• Has started giving big juicy kisses
• Is developing a sense of favoritism towards certain toys
• Likes to sit at the table with mom and dad during meal times
• Is fascinated by everything.  Wants to touch, inspect, and chew anything and everything she can see, hear or feel
• Enjoys going on walks with mom and Jack
• Loves to watch Jack and Tigger.  She gets so excited when they let her near enough to touch them
• Is showing a real interest in food and likes to try drinking water out of mom or dad's glass
• Goes to sleep every night by herself and sleeps through the night.  Is also starting to nap all by herself during the day (yay!)
• Is so friendly.  She loves to see other babies (especially the one in the mirror)
• Loves when dad tosses her in the air or hangs her upside down
• Loves to listen to music
• Sticks her tongue out
• Went through a growth spurt this month.  Grew out of her 3 month and 3-6 month clothes all within a few weeks!

I think that pretty much sums up the last month of Bean's life. Hopefully I will be more on the ball and post her 6 month update earlier :)  Now for the pictures you have all been waiting for!

"I don't know how the keys got there...or how to get them off"

Practicing standing like a big girl

Just hanging out with dad, and loving it

One of her first times hanging upside down.  She leaves her mouth wide open the whole time!

Helping mom with laundry

She's cute and she knows it

This is a talking face.  I caught her in the middle of her talking to Trip

There's the tongue

More daredevil antics with dad

Ready to run some errands, and looking super cute

All tucked in like a big girl

You can actually see her get bigger in these photos!  More coming soon :)
