FIVE.
Here we are at 5 months! We have one sweet girl on our hands and she is such a good baby. We cannot get enough of her! I love to tickle her little face and she must love it too because she opens her mouth and smiles. She is my light. So, what has she been up to this month?:::
Zara had to go to the doctor this month for a sick visit. She has thrush and is taking Nystatin. It is clearing up now and hopefully she won't pass it to me. She wears size 2 diapers and 3-6 month clothes, but some of her 0-3 month clothes still fit.
She loves chatting or playing with toys in her bumbo while we are in the kitchen. She also seems obsessed with dropping things constantly so I can pick them up..To be fair,she does try to reach for them:::
One of our Baby Gap trips:::
This is how I eat dinner now:::
Breaking out:::
She is my little Drool Monster. She drools constantly. I mean, her clothes are wet, My clothes are wet. We still have no teeth though. Teeth- show yourself!? (or don't because I am afraid of her biting my boobs. haha). I have given her a teether now and then and she likes to chew on those:::
She is really interested in toys these days! It sort of happened overnight. She holds them, looks at them, shakes them. She even cries if you take a toy away. Right now, she is really into these plastic keys and bright toys that are easy for her to grasp. She also loves to grab book pages while we read:::
This is one of Jonas' soothing methods (drumming on her back). It works!:::
Zara is becoming very social. There were tons of people on our bridge walk and some of them would smile and talk to her...she loved it and smiled her cheesy smile right back. It seems like she adores attention:::
LOVES:::
To stare at ceiling fans.
To lay on the floor and play with her baby gym.
The mirror...it is her favorite ever to look at herself, laugh and to be bounced while she looks into it.
Play. I feel like it is what she does most now.
Her Papa. I think he is her best friend.
To be on our shoulders.

DOES NOT LIKE:::
The sun in her face.
Being in the jogging stroller too long.
Other things:::
She has had the ability to roll from back to belly & belly to back, but now she is becoming an expert. Rolling all the time and holding her feet in "happy baby"- one of my least favorite yoga poses..but she loves it! Zara girl is a mover. When I lay her down to play, she turns up in a very different location every few seconds.
She is trying to crawl.. she can lift herself from her chubby little arms and is trying everyday to lift up on those knees and scoot..mostly scooting backwards right now :)
Zara chews on her feet every chance she gets.
She is still learning to sit up all be herself, so right now she sits up and ends up leaning forward. She can also hold herself very well if she is in our arms.
She reaches and grabs for things. I have to keep my food far from her hands. She will just reach in. ha.
I feel like she swings her arms around just to find something to explore. A lot of times, she likes to put her hand in my mouth and feel my teeth.
I am so grateful that she continues to sleep through the night. Sweet child! Now why am I still so tired? haha. She still sleeps in the swaddle and on her back.
I have witnessed this a little, but at daycare they have this parrot on one of the walkers and she loves to talk to it and scream and squeal at it. I think it's hilarious!
Zara seems really interested in our food when we eat..like drool and fussing while we cook and eat.
She is showing interest in the cat with constant stares & occasionally reaching for her.
Her little legs are so strong and she loves to stand (with help, of course).

I think that all children bring joy when they are around. Zara is no exception. I love seeing her make someone smile or laugh. I am loving this stage of discovery and firsts. I want to celebrate everyday that we get to be right here together. What a privilege.
