5 months

Oh how quickly time goes once you become a mother. Our little lady was 5 months old last Friday and is changing with every minute in time it seems.


Matney Paige, your Momma and Daddy love you more than you could ever know. With each passing moment and milestone you brighten our hearts in a way I never really knew was possible until I had you.


Your first two teeth have come in this past week. You have been quite the trooper through the process and only get fussy every now and then but seem to be more tired as if your little body has worked so hard it just tuckered you out at 7 pm. This is kind of nice for Momma once in a while so I can get things done around the house. You are becoming a very BIG Momma's girl. If I leave your sight for a split second you scream bloody murder, but when I walk back in the room you are fine. I think this hurts your Daddy's feelings just a little bit, but we know it probably won't always be this way!

In the last 2 weeks you have mastered sitting up on your own. You still get a little wobbley but you love to be up and checking everything out. We even had to get out one of your Christmas presents to keep you entertained! If you aren't sitting up, you are on your belly and scooting all over the place. You have also started eating bananas and avocados, both of which you love. We had a few issues with cereal so we decided to skip right on to something more appetizing. You eat cereal at school but it is more of a cocktail since you are a little picky. You love daycare and that is about the only time you don't cry when I leave you. It broke my heart the day you reached out for your teacher when I dropped you off. This week you made a new friend at school, who happens to be your first "girl" friend as you are surrounded by little boys at home and away. Hopefully you and Lillie will be good friends and hold your own with all the boys.

You have also started entertaining yourself for 15-20 minutes at a time, especially if Baby Einstein is on. Any time you see the computer come out, you start reaching for it and making noise to get our attention that you want it turned on. Thank goodness for the internet so we can keep you happy!

I cannot wait to see what changes the next month brings in your life as this month has been full of changes.
