A baby girl turns 5 months old

This is one of the newborn onsies I made before she was born. Silly me to think she would fit into it while it was still warm outside!

How can she be so old? I feel like it has been 5 weeks, not 5 months. It is a good thing she is still as small as a newborn or I might be tempted to have another. I love the baby stage. And I hate that it only lasts for such a short time. I know there are lots of people who do not enjoy the tiny baby stage. But there is something so precious about a newborn babe snuggled into my chest that pulls at my heartstrings. I love my kids at all stages. There is something fun to be found with every age. But they are never as sweet and innocent and angelic as they are for those first few months of life.

Addison is doing much better these days. Her cough still lingers but it doesn't keep me up in a panic all night anymore. She seems stronger and healthier. She is a much happier baby and has her appetite back.

She is already rolling over. I can't believe it. She is so tiny to be rolling over. She rolls from her back to her tummy and then gets stuck and cries til I roll her back to her back. But as soon as she gets back she immediately rolls back to her tummy. I am guessing she will learn to roll to her back quickly.

We started her on cereal a few weeks ago. The doctor thought that might help with her acid reflux. She was also recently started on a new medicine, I am not sure which one it was or if it was the combination of the two but her acid reflux is much better. Instead of spitting puddles at each meal she only spits once or twice a day and it is usually a small amount.

She is abundantly loved by her siblings. Taycee smothers her with kisses and hugs. The other day Taycee asked me to take some pictures of them together.


We love you miss Addison. Here is to hoping the next five months are a lot slower and healthier than the first five!
