Scarlett is 5 months and we will find soon how big she actually is... because her 4 month doctors appointment is coming up haha. She is rolling over but only onto her stomach. Shes becoming more and more content on her stomach though so its not so bad. She reaches for toys and threw a little fit by arching her back when we took a toy away from her. She chews on everything! I know teeth are coming soon, her gums are thin and tight. She is no longer a "good" sleeper. Her naps are very short with only maybe 20-40 minutes a few times a day and at night she wakes up often. Some nights its only maybe 5 times but last night I swear it was close to 15... In the night it makes me feel awful and tired and cranky but now thats its morning and Im up enjoying her it doesnt seem TOO bad :-) Shes squealing and laughing. The other day Beth was kind of shaking her in her lap and her knuckles were against her ribs and we realized she is ticklish. Now we can get her to laugh on command and its wonderful. I was on the phone with my Grandpa Max yesterday and she laughed into the phone, it made his day. Shes just now starting to recognize her name and we constantly try to use it so she starts to learn. She likes to play in her Bumbo seat and watch what were doing in the kitchen, and shes just starting to play in her excersaucer. She reaches for the toys and smacks them repeatedly with her left hand. Shes loves when I clap and sing and dance. I cant wait for her to join along... Okay, I can wait, but Im looking forward to it still! She is still nursing really well and can go probably 3 hours between eatings. Shes doing okay in the car and mostly sleeping. She is still wearing cloth but in the few times she has disposables shes in size 3 diapers. I pulled out an old newborn diaper yesterday and I couldnt believe the difference, wow! Shes also starting to face crawl a little bit. Her knees tuck under and she pushes but she hasnt lifted her head up so we call it the "face crawl" haha
As far as I go, Im starting to feel normal in my own skin again. I have about 5 more pounds to lose and I might never look the exact same but Im feeling in shape and healthy again. So thats awesome. I feel so much better about all aspects of life when I take good care of myself, work out and eat healthy foods.
Nick and I are starting to get ready to move. Were going to need to help with getting the house ready for us to be able to move in and starting to heat the house so the water pipes dont freeze. Last night we went out to Loco's for dinner and a couple drinks. It was SO fun to spend some time with him baby free. Im just so in love with him. He works so much and so hard, and Im always with Scarlett so this was the first time in a long time we got to spend relaxing like that. Lovely!
Scarlett and I had our first New York snow also. Its going to be a long winter but Im ready and excited for it. Tasha was a ltitle scared of the snow at first and kind of didnt want to go outside but as soon as she was out she was fine. Shes such a wild animal now. She leaves in the morning and comes home in the evening.
