5 Months

Today Anna is FIVE MONTHS OLD!

(These are the best pictures I could get of her today, as she wouldn’t let me put her down and I’m a solo mom tonight while Adam goes to the Switchfoot concert with a friend from church, Justin.)

Anna…

… has a tooth.

… eats oatmeal with gusto.

… drinks about 20 ounces of milk… during the day at daycare.  (Mommy can no longer keep up.)

… has started waking up multiple times a night to nurse again… because she is constantly hungry.  (Must start feeding her more solids.  So far bananas are a no go.)

… is still wearing 9 month clothes.  Though she’s threatening those with her length.

… still sleeps swaddled.

… has stopped rolling from front to back, but rolls from back to front all the time.  And then cries because she forgot how to flip back over.

… has a smile that melts my heart, even at 4 in the morning.  Or 2.  Or at midnight.

… laughs at her sisters. (And is still greatly loved by her sisters.  Raven even sneaks into her room at night to “check on Banana” when she is asleep.)

… is the perfect fifth member of our family.  We are so blessed to have her in our lives!
