Maggie Claire, you are 5 months old!

{March 7, 2010}

My sweet Maggie Claire! You light up our life more than what's possible. We love you so much and are so so so so so blessed! You are getting funnier every day and your dad and I love it! We take videos of you all the time so that we will remember what you like like that this age. You can check out all the videos here. You are very much independent, at such a young age!

5 month stats:

15 pounds 7 ounces

26.5 inches

things that Maggie Claire does right now:

• Tried carrots for the first time and LOVED them!
• Still exclusively breastfed {never had any formula}
• Today at church MC held her bottle BY HERSELF for the first time. My mom was feeding her and she insisted! This was a huge shocker, and too funny!
• Sleeps 9-10 hours straight at night
• has rolled over about 5 times total, but still doesn't seem interested in it.
• Her feet & hands are her favorite toys, but she also likes her sophie the giraffe, violet the dog, the singing hippo, and other little toys she can grab & put in her mouth!
• Still loves her paci & mommy does too, because it helps her go to sleep. ha!
• She is most likely found in the outside swing on the porch, in the jumperoo, or lying on the floor on a blanket playing with her feet!
• Sleeps in her crib at home, the pack-n-play at anyone else's house, and the swing at church
• loves her new little friend that I'm nannying, who is 10 months older than her!
• wears a size 2 diaper
• loves being outside... {I'm so thankful it's warming up so we can be outside!}
• loves to splash in the bath water! This past week we put the baby float on the tub, so she could sit up in it! You can see that picture here.
• She sleeps with a blanket in one hand, a lovie in the other, her glow seahorse playing, and a sound machine. As you can tell, we're all about the sleep props! ha! When we go places where she needs to nap, we put it all in her "nap bag." Oh yes, she also sleeps in the aden & anais sleep sack. We have the fish & flower one & they are wonderful!
• She started wearing hair bows without the headband!!! {I am in love}

I am probably missing so much more, but she is just a doll baby! Here are a few funny pictures that we got of her! She makes some funny faces! Especially when she gets excited about her giraffe!

For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
