5 months!

Dear Zoe,

You are 5 months old! Here is what we want to remember about you:

-You now giggle when we tickle you or something strikes you as very silly (like when your mom dances for you).

-Your teacher said you rolled over at school...but you haven't done it for us at home yet!

-You still wear size 3-6 month clothes but are wearing some 9 months sized dresses with jeans...it's a cute look on you.

-You are very good at grasping things...and putting them right in your mouth. You especially like to gnaw on the face and ears of Sophie the giraffe, but also grab mom's hair and jewelry and dad's shirt collars.

-You are on week 6 of a cough. You are sleeping in mom and dad's room in your bouncy seat to keep you sleeping at an angle and so we can monitor you...your dad jumps up to your side whenever you cough...maybe you'll be in your own room by the time you're 16!

-You started eating rice cereal. It's a very messy production but you seem to be okay with it.

-You got scratched on the face by another baby at school...Daddy was NOT happy.

-You celebrated your first Easter and got LOTS of Easter baskets and gifts. You also looked adorable in the pretty pink dress G Daddy and G Mama got for you.

-You FINALLY got to experience the great outdoors since we've been having an unseasonably warm Spring. Wind was a whole new experience for you...seemed to take your breath away, but you seem to be very entertained when we take you outside.

-You are pretty easy going...we think we lucked out by getting YOU as our baby. We love you!
