Lizzy 5 Months

She is getting so big, so fast. Lizzy is already 5 months old. She is doing so much and just as cute as ever.  She is sitting like a pro all by herself and will sit all day, if I let her.  She is eating baby food and loves it.  She hates laying down unless she is really tired.  She tries to sit up, when she is laying down.  She has the sweetest little voice and, when she has a chance with her loud older siblings, she loves to talk to us.  She grabs anything and everything and has found a love for faces. She will just stare at me and then gently touch my face, like she is trying to figure me out.  She gives a smile to everyone and loves being in her carrier. She will stare at me and David until we look at her and say something to her or smile and then she will give the biggest smile and then turn her head as fast as she can with her hand in her mouth.  She can roll over, but rarely does. I figure it is because anytime she has a moment on the floor Maggie or Parker will go running to her side and so she rarely has the opportunity to roll over.  For me she is happy to just be sitting by me or laying with me, but for most other people she prefers you to stand with her. She is getting a little clingy to me and if I am not here, she gets very sad. She is a drooling machine. It is rare her shirt is dry.  She is not a huge fan of her swing. For a while there she loved to sleep in it, but now she prefers to be in a bed.  She does not like falling asleep while eating, which is awesome. Usually she will fuss for about 3-5 minutes and just talk about and then fall asleep.  She is not doing the greatest at sleeping at night. She wakes up about 2 times a night, but she has really good nights where she sleeps from about 10:00-6:00, which is awesome!  She takes about 3 naps a day.  She is growing so fast and gets more rolls daily.  Her little cheeks are just so pinchable and she has the cutest shaped face ever.  She has lost most of her hair except for a few long strands here and there. She has new hair growing in that is blonde, just like all the other kids.  She is always doing something with her tongue. Whether sticking it out or just making a weird face with it. It is pretty cute. She has her good days and bad. On her bad days she just wants me to hold her until the evening. She doesn’t have too many bad days though.  We just love our little Lizzy and no one can get enough of her sweet ways.
