Zoe: Five Months






Dear Zoe:

You were in Missouri for your actual five month birthday. We spent the night with Grandpa O and Granny Jo before heading over to Grandma Georgi and Gigi's house. When you woke up that morning as your normal cheery self, you did not have any teeth. We spent the day visiting people before heading back to take a nap. When you woke up from your nap with Grandma Georgi, you had your TWO front bottom teeth!! That must have been a good nap :)

I am hoping the teeth are the reason why your sleeping habits have completely gone crazy. You slept early on from 8-4, then would eat and go back to sleep until 8 am.  Now we do good if you sleep from 8 pm to midnight...then you wake up every two hours after that.  Occasionally, you don't want to go back to sleep and would rather just practice all your new rolling skills along with one of your favorite new skills, scream talking.  It is a really cute noise but could you save it for in between the hours of 8 am and 8 pm?  Please? :) Luckily, your smile charms your daddy and he will get up with you even if it is 5:30 am. He really is the best!

You are getting better at sitting up, you can sit for a few seconds before tumbling over or folding forward in half. You like to laugh when you sit up and you try to sit up all the time now. You will squirm and squirm and squirm on our laps until we put you in a sitting position....then smile and squeal with happiness. Those squeals and belly laughs are the best!

It won't be long before you start crawling. You still roll every where but you have started going all the way up on your arms...then you will go head down and get on your tiptoes...you just can't seem to get your front end and back end to work together! I am hoping we have some more time but you are one determined little girl.

You have started sitting with us at the table. If you see all of us there, you will start complaining until we have you join us. You like to watch us eat and love it when I give you a spoon to practice with. Your sweet brother has only tried to help you once get it into your mouth. Luckily, we were right there and pulled it out of the back of your throat before you ended up puking all over :) He is such a big help!


I still can't get over how fast you are growing up. Can't wait to celebrate your 1/2 birthday next month!!

Love,
Momma
