The Sweet Life: 5 Months

I can hardly beleive it has been 5 months! Annabelle has gotten so big and is starting to get such a personality. We have started her on baby food and she LOVES IT! We have tried sweet peas, sweet potatoes, squash, brocolli and rice cereal. She has eatten them all. The only veggie on the menu that we have not tried yet is carrots. There up tonight. Annabelle is a mover these days. I really think she is trying to climb me sometimes. She rolls over all the time, does not like to be cradled unless it is bedtime, is totally doing her superman pose when on her belly and scoots like a champ. She will be sitting up and crawling before we know it! The ladies at daycare have commented on how strong Annabelle is compared to other babies they have seen at her age. She can even be caught holding her own bottle sometimes. She likes to push the bottle out of her mouth and pull it back when she is ready for more. Try changing her diaper or putting lotion on her these days. It is becoming more of a battle every day. Annabelle sleeps about 10 to 12 hours everynight now and wakes up with a smile. She just loves the flowers on her bumper pad and is always cooing and ahhing when we go in to get her every morning. She is such a happy baby and I am so thankful. I could not ask for a better baby! I know I say this often, but she fills my heart! I am amazed by this precious gift from God! I prayed, cried for and hurt for so long wanting a baby and God answered my prayers with the sweetest baby I could dream of. I am so very thankful!

So I will admit I have had a lot going on and I forgot to post Annabelle's 5 month pics. I am just about a week and half late.......Anyway, here is my little model. She is such a doll!
