Letter Month Five
Dear Charlie,
You are a five month old little pumpkin.
You bring us so much joy and we just adore you. Any time someone catches your eye you have a
smile for them. You also laugh out loud,
which is an absolute delight. Sometimes
I’m not even sure what tickled you, but I love hearing your giggle. You are also a talker. You love to make ah and guh sounds and will even try to copy the rhythm or pitch of sounds I make.
You are quite strong.
You can now roll in both directions and happily go from your back to
your tummy and sometimes back again! You
are also pushing yourself up on your arms, which gives you a better view. You have also been working on grasping things
and seem to love to get my hair and my earrings in your grasp!
You are a loving little guy.
One of your favorite things is to grab my face and give me a slobbery
kiss. It probably wouldn’t be so great
coming from any other baby, but from you it is so sweet.
You are still interested in nursing and you being in a size
12 month clothing is evidence of that.
You are stretching a good 3 hours between feedings and seem to have your
own little routine of nursing hard for a couple of minutes and then wanting to
take breaks and come back for a little more over and over. It’s okay when we’re at home, but a little
difficult when we are out and need to get you fed. You are still “waiting for me” to really do
your feeding at night. It is sweet to
think that you like your time with me and wait to have it, but it is hard on
our sleep. We will start solids when you
are closer to six months old and that may change some of your eating habits.
I’m sure it hasn’t helped your sleep that you have been kind
of sick this past month. It was some
kind of infection at the beginning, then a cold, and then another virus. We are thankful that they were all pretty
mild issues, but they still made you feel yucky. Even when you didn’t feel well you were
smiley.
Your sister is someone who makes you smile. You will usually smile at her when she is
talking to you. One night you watched
her hopping all around and started to laugh out loud! Daddy and I were so tickled that we asked her
to keep doing it just to keep making you laugh!
She loves you too and always
wants to say hi to you when she gets home from school.
Charlie, I feel so blessed to have you for my little
boy. You smile, laugh, and let us know
how happy you are. It makes my heart
melt to see you such a beautiful baby and know that I helped to make you. I just keep looking forward to knowing more
and more of your personality and the wonderful boy you are.
Love,
Momma
