Five months old

Dear Elizabeth,

Today you are five months old!  I know I say this every month but I can't believe how much you have grown in the last month (and in the last five months)!  Every day you are becoming more independent and more curious and it is exciting for us to watch. 

You are 5 months old!

In the last month you have done a lot of traveling!  You have been to North Carolina, Texas, Pennsylvania, and Maryland.  You took your first plane (well, 4 planes) to get to Texas and back. 

You have started eating food after your dinner bottle.  You have had sweet potatoes, bananas, apples, carrots, and mangoes.  You love carrots!  You do not like apples at all.  You eat about 2 tablespoons full of your fruits or veggies every night.  You have been really funny to watch develop "eating" skills.  At first you acted like we were doing something crazy to you and now you chew and chew on the spoon and smile for more food.

You are now getting four bottles a day and about seven ounces in each bottle.  Sometimes you eat less and sometime you eat more.  You weigh 15 pounds and are 25.5 inches long.  That is 75% percentile for height and 50% percentile for weight.  You wear a size 2 diaper and 6-9 month clothes.

You met a lot of new friends this month and got to visit with people you have seen many times before.  You got to meet Ada, Tycho, Kepler, Justin, and Sara this month!  You got to see Jared, Kelly, Scot, Uncle Adam, and Brigette again.  You of course have hung out with Pari and Quin.  The other night you also got to hang out with Sam and Alice because we babysat for Laura and Allen.  You flew to Texas this month and met many cousins (Bryan, Jace, Lisa, Shelby, Sydney, and Stevie) and saw your Grandmother and Great Grandmother again along with Uncle Andy and Aunt Anna.  Your cousin Jennifer was very fascinated with you and happy that you don't cry. 

Elizabeth,  I cannot fully express the joy you bring to our lives and how completely we have fallen in love with you.  Happy five months my darling daughter.  We love you!

Love,

Mom & Dad
