My baby girl is less than a week away from being FIVE months! The time has gone by way too fast. She is now 17 lbs 8 oz, and 28 1/2" inches long!! Such a tall girl. At first, I didn't think she was that much bigger until I saw her next to another five month old. Yup, there is a difference. The doctor said that either she's going to grow pretty quickly and then stop or she's just going to be a tall girl when she grows up. She owes that to her dad, I’m sure because I’m only 5’ 2”! She’s trying to sit on her own, but she's a bit wobbly sometimes. She's grasping and throwing things, so we're starting to make sure whatever we give her is soft. LOL! Daddy's been hit over the head with some of her harder toys and it wasn't very fun for him. And now she’s trying to sit up on her own! We have quite a ways to go, but at least she's trying now. I'm soo excited!! Watching her discover and do new things completely blows me away. It's absolutely fascinating to me! I could watch her all day.
Right now though, I think she's getting a bit of a cold, which has not been pleasant. Not horrible, but not great either. Stuffy nose, a little cough, and a lot of crying fits seem to be the thing right now. So, if she's not better by this weekend, I'm setting up an appointment for her next week.
I can't stress enough how this little bundle of joy is literally my world now. And with things being shaken up on the home front, she is literally my rock. She's the one thing that keeps me grounded, keeps me still, and yet has me moving forward. And for that, I am truly grateful. Some rough times are ahead of us and I just really hope that we come out the other end, ok. Still in one piece, and still a family.
Whatever happens in life, because of her, I will always come out ok. And I fully believe that.
