5 months and firsts

  Charlie turned 5 months old on Saturday and we celebrated by getting sick for the first time. We went to the Dr. on Friday because she was coughing so much that she couldn't catch her breath. She is coughing less but is now wheezing when she breathes. We will monitor it and pray she doesn't have whooping cough because she isn't fully vaccinated yet. She is doing so many new things. She can roll over from both sides, when she wants to of course (it's always on her timing). She talks, blows raspberries, sings and screams incessantly. She loves the sound of her own voice. As I type this she is sitting in her bumbo watching her first baby einstein video and is mesmerized. She loves to grab anything that is in her reach. At the Dr she grabbed her stethoscope and almost through it on the ground. She loves being around other babies and is alert ALL the time. She loves to watch anything and everything. She is such a joy and is always smiling and laughing, even when she is sick. We are so blessed to have her. For Easter she is wearing one of my old dresses as a baby. We will post picks of her and her basket. But here are some older photos that never got posted. They are dated through the end of Feb trough the first week of March. Even now she has grown so much since then.

our sweet girl

not always smiles
not every picture is picture perfect, but still pretty darn cute if I may say so

Her balding spot along with her greatest concentration of hair. It is going away now.
 
She shares her toys well. Their parents are good friends so they do a lot together. Maybe a match in the making.
