Hello, drool face.
Hello, sweet cheeks*.
*Don't you just want to pinch these?
Can't believe this little one is 5 months. In fact, October has flown by and she is practically 6 months old!
She is getting so big! Ok - that's a lie. She's still a petite little thing. So tiny.
But, she can do so many cool things now...

| this is my favsies. |
Like sitting up all on her own. It happened literally the day she turned 5 months old.
All of a sudden, she had balance.
At first, it was only for 30 seconds.
But within 2-3 days she could easily last for 5 minutes or more. Yes, I timed her.
At first she really depended a lot on leaning forward.
And there were quite a few smacks to the head, as she learned to gain balance.
But she is a balancing, sitting-up machine now!
Other exciting baby things:
still lots of drool. incredible amounts. no teeth.
no rolling over yet from back to tummy. but sooo close!
she gave us a whirl when she decided to randomly not go to bed easily for a week (although, this might have been because we kept her up while we decided to do cool adult kid stuff like cosmic bowling and other date nights)
she still sleeps most of the night, until 4-6ish and will sometimes randomly wake-up around 1.
we snuggle most mornings in bed until 9-10ish (pure heaven!)
she's getting good at her cooing, giggling and shrieking.
she likes to hang out in her activity center too. she can actually play with the toys and bounce all around.
she can grab her pacifer and put it in her mouth, although not always correctly. :)
and she's finally wearing some 3-6mo and 6mo clothes, but happily fits into 3m still.
she tasted one tiny tiny bit of homemade applesauce and basically thought it was the grossest thing on the planet. of course, i kept giving her more, just to see her facial expression.
(we are waiting to feed her solids until she is 6 months, but i couldn't resist!)
But most importantly, she is still the sweetest, happiest girl.
Truly happy, all the time!
I love her little personality.
She is so quiet and content when we go places, but loves to giggle and laugh too.
Amelia is a happy, social girl.
She smiles at everyone and tries to get them to smile back.
We love it.
We love her.
As soon as I saw these two pics below, I immediately recognized them! She looks just like Dan with these awesome facial expressions. I love it!
While she is really attached to me, she seriously loves her Dad. He makes her giggle and smile the most. Whenever he enters the room, she looks over at him and can't wait for him to come play with her.
It's cute to watch.
So until next month...
See ya later, alligator!
