5 Month List:
1. It seems like you have grow huge over the last month. We need to get you in for your 2 year physical but if I had to guess I'd say you're a pound or 2 heavier but probably a couple inches taller!! In our bathroom you can all the sudden see into our drawers and pull out what you want...you couldn't do that just a short time ago.
2. You had your first American birthday party! We celebrated for several days and finished off the celebrations with a party with family, friends, and lots of neighbors. You had a ball and were quickly a pro at opening presents and blowing out your candles. You were also so sweet and gave every single guest a hug and some even got a kiss! I know you made their day with your sweetness.
3. You are eating really well again including chicken and beef. Yay!!! You even tried elk burger for the first time this month and really liked it. I didn't buy you your own burger because of your aversion to beef lately but you ended up eating half of mine ;) Favorite foods include: strawberries, yogurt, ice cream, eggs, sausage, and fish.
4. You love the water! You received a fun water table and sprinkler for your birthday that you love. You already had a blow up pool in the backyard that we couldn't keep you out any time we were outside. We are just used to stripping you down to your diaper and shoes when you go out in the backyard because we know we won't be able to keep you out of the water and keep you dry!! We've spent several days at the lake and last weekend you didn't want to leave. You kept saying more, more. Meaning you wanted to swim more and more!! You're a fish already! Swimming lessons are coming soon.
5. New skills: You are able to crawl onto and off of furniture all by yourself. You can go up and down the stairs all by yourself (if you want to) safely. You mostly use a spoon and fork to feed yourself; you just need help loading the utensil first.
6. You are doing really well at daycare and love being there. You still blow us kisses when we drop you off and when we come to pick you up you are always a happy girl. You are making friends and love your teachers. You are even starting to say their names.
7. Words you are saying consistently: Nai Nai, Grandpa, G for please, thank you, Baba, Ja for Jack, ice, more, Mama, Lau Lau, wa wa for water, strawberry.
8. Our little girl is a reader!! Yes, you love books and lots of them. Often by the end of the day there are books all over the living room floor and you move from one to the next while Mama and Baba take turns reading to you. You favorite books lately continue to be the Hallmark interactive books. Luckily you received a lot of new books for your birthday so we are hoping that another few books will soon become your favorite!! We love that you love to read!
