Five months?!  Are you kidding me?!  There have been some very long days over the last few months but it is still so hard to believe that sweet Braelyn Faith is five months old today!  We fall more in love with her every day.  She is all smiles with some giggles sprinkled in now!  Just three days ago she started rolling from her back to her stomach, both ways.  Now as soon as you lay her down, she immediately flips over.  It seems that she has forgotten that she knows how to go from her stomach to her back because she gets pretty frustrated after being on her tummy for a little while!  We have been working the last couple of days to break her out of wanting to be swaddled with very little success.  Tonight she stayed in her bed for about an hour and a half without it, sleeping off an on but it definitely wasn't her usual sound sleep.  Part of the problem is that Mommy and Daddy really like the sleep we get when she is swaddled so we have not been pushing too hard to get her out of it!  She is still not at all interested in cereal, however it doesn't seem that she is staying full on formula any more.  Shawn got the high chair out of the attic so we are hoping if we can recline her a little bit that we might be able to keep it in her mouth long enough for her to get used to it!  She absolutely adores her sister and watches her every move.  It does not appear that she is going to be a social butterfly like her sister was.  In a crowd she definitely clings close to Mommy or Daddy(and Mommy and Daddy are fine with that!)!

 Anything she can get her hands on goes straight to her mouth!

 You would never know that this was the day that I had to take her back to the doctor for a terrible cold and nasty cough!

 Could you eat her up or what?!  Maybe I am a little biased!

Mommy, what is Emerson doing?!
