5 months

Well, five months have come and gone-- and it has been an exciting 5 months! This past months was especially fun because we have learned so much about little Goldie!

Clothes/Diapers: Still 0-3 pants for her short little legs, and 3-6 tops for the long body. In between a size 2 and size 3 diaper.... she has a high bum crack haha. She is starting to thin out and get really long. Thank goodness she has kept her chubby cheeks!!

Hair: Getting more hair-- and it's getting lighter! Looks like she may be a blondie, but it seems to have a touch a red in the sun.

Eyes: The bluest blue with beautiful eyelashes... jealous!

Personality: A BIG personality in a little body! She is so sweet and smiley and loves when people talk to her or smile at her, she is quite social! However, she is equally spicy, but only when she's hungry or left out. She isn't too big of a mommy or daddy's girl, she just likes attention from whoever!

Milestones: We've got a roller on our hands! She has rolled over when she was 3 and 4 months but only a couple times, now she won't stop! She will do roll after roll until she finds something to play with or she runs into something. She seems to prefer rolling on her right side, she tends to get stuck more on her left.

We have also started rice cereal more into her diet and let's just say she's a great eater. She really can't seem to get enough! You can't feed her fast enough.

Likes:

- Lights

- music and noise

- blowing bubbles and talking/singing

- wrappers and water bottles

- trying to sit up

- walking

- walks

- splashing

- kicking her feet and moving her arms when she is excited

- smiling and laughing

- dancing

- looking at herself in the mirror... still


Doesn't like: 

- Sleeping. Help! Haha she will not sleep through the night (still wakes up twice or more) and takes two 20 minute or less naps. She fights going to sleep so bad!



I love you Goldie! You just need to stop growing... but it is so fun to see the sweet girl you are becoming!






Hanging out in grandma and grandpa's bed... she thinks she owns the place.





New favorite toy! Her little feet barely touch the ground!

Love these sleepy eyes

spring

Spring is here and we are loving it! Goldie really loves the sun and sporting her sunnies, going on walks and just being outside. Springtime is always a busy time for us... we have Easter, conference, Scott's birthday, our anniversary, mother's day, and my birthday. Just some of the reasons besides the flowers and sun why I love spring!

Even though Goldie is only four month old, it was still fun to get her an Easter basket and some toys, but I can't wait to teach her why we really celebrate Easter. Easter is one of my favorite holidays. It gives us a chance to reflect on the Savior and all of our many blessings we sometimes take for granted. I am so grateful for our Savior and for everything he does for us every single day. I don't know what I did to deserve such an amazing family. Scott is such an amazing husband and is such a blessing in my life, and in Goldie's life. And everyone know how I feel about Goldie. She has shown me a little peak of what life is all about. Being her mom makes me so proud and grateful... and often times makes me tear up probably too much. All of this because He lives and He loves us. Happy Spring!
