5 Months Old

I can't believe my baby is 5 months old. It is crazy how fast time flies (how come it didn't go this fast when I was big, pregnant and miserable?). This is Sloan's first Valentines Day. I am actually not really a huge fan of this holiday, but it gave me an excuse to dress my babe up in lots of cute pink clothes.

So here is Sloan's 5 month update. I don't have a well check this month so I am not sure of her exact stats, but I think she weighs around 15.5 pounds. She rolls over and in the last few days has become very proficient at getting her arm out from under her and even rolling back the other way. She is still the most smiley baby on the planet and has just started to really giggle (although I still have to work pretty hard for it and it tends to be short lived). She loves to play with toys and grab on to them and put them in her mouth. she is definitely still not sleeping through the night (some nights are better than others), but she only wakes up to eat and then falls right back to sleep. However she does sleep a lot since she goes to bed at like 6:30pm and sleeps until 7:00 or 7:30am the next morning. She is really good when we go out to the mall or dinner or whatever and mostly just hangs out and looks cute so everyone around us will comment on how cute she is (I tell you, she is a ham and loves to play it up for a crowd!). I just love her so much and am so blessed to have her in my life!!!



Valentine's Day in her Bumbo (actually it is our Nanny's Bumbo that she leaves at our house, thanks Sarah!).



I realize pretty much every picture I have of Sloan is in this same position on the couch, but when your child can't sit up you are pretty limited for options!



Sloan and her dad on the couch just hanging. She will literally hang with him and watch him work on the computer just like this.



Just an extra bonus pic, too many good ones to chose from. She is so scrumptious!!!



I love you sweet baby girl, thank you for coming into my life!

What's The Deal?

Alright, so all of the sudden there are like 3 or 4 people who's blogs I check regularly that just made it so you have to have permission to view their blogs. Now I don't check everyones blogs every day or anything, but I check them often enough that I thought I would have seen them say they were going to go private. But I guess I must have missed it. So anyway, if you have recently blocked your blog please give me access because I am so sad I can't keep up on what is going on in everyones life. Pretty Please?

Moments You Wish Would Never End

The other night Sloan must have been really tired because she suddenly became very cuddly. We sat in the rocking chair for like an hour and she just laid her head on my shoulder. Sloan isn't what I would call a cuddle bug. Sometimes she has her moments, but for the most part they don't last for more than a few minutes. But for some reason in this moment she just cuddled with me for like an hour. I seriously took it in and enjoyed every last moment of it. I didn't want it to end!



I had to throw this picture of Odie in. Odie doesn't have a problem just helping himself to anything he can find. This was a Carmel he found on the table, wrapper and all. He just held it in his mouth, he didn't try to eat it or anything. I guess since he couldn't figure out the wrapper he decided to just hold it there. It is moments like this I bet Odie really wishes he had an opposable thumb!
