Colette is 5 Months!

Dear oh Dear Colette,

 Happy 5 months! You are way ahead of your age. You are already trying really hard to crawl. You get on your knees and rock trying to move. You do manage to maneuver your way around the room by going backwards or inch worming to something you want. You get up on your toes into a plank position and dive at things too. Slow down little girl. Though your determination and wiggly self reflects your personality perfectly.

 You get so excited when someone pays attention to you. You will also give out a high pitch scream when you want someone to pay attention to you. In the meantime, you spend your self-entertaining time figuring out how to move around the room and blowing bubbles with your mouth.

 You enjoy bath time. That is probably your most chill time.

You sleep all night now! No more night bottles. You are also officially sleep trained, and we said goodbye to that pacifier. We don’t miss it one bit. You found your fingers (just like your brother). We are more of the finger team than the pacifier one on any given day.

You love your brother Johnathan. The feeling is mutual. Johnathan has really warmed up to you and loves talking and playing with you. He will give you big hugs and tell you he loves you over and over again. He loves talking in a baby voice to you (which is pretty funny). You love tackling him too. As soon as he gets into arms reach you dive for him. Luckily he thinks it is pretty funny.

You rode the carousal for the first time at the zoo and loved it. 

You are a fun, happy, very active little girl. We love having you in the family and enjoy seeing how your personality continues to develop and grow. Keep your determination in life and you are going to move mountains.

Love, your mommy
