5 Months

This little sweetie turned five months old on Wednesday.  Where is the time going?!

Sarah is growing way too fast!  She definitely surpassed my expectations when I measured her.  She is now 26.1 inches tall (86% percentile), 18.0 pounds (95%), and 42.7 cm head circumference (77%). 

She is now taking two naps a day and still sleeping all night.  WOOT WOOT!

Have we mentioned that Sarah is the wiggliest child ever?!  She is.  That girl is a mover and a groover.  She loves to pivot her body around.  And, in the bathtub, it is ridiculous.  She is constantly trying to wiggle further into the water.  It is actually quite amazing - if it weren't so scary!  But who can blame her, she has quite an active older brother that she gets to watch all day so she is ready to join him. 

Sarah is also laughing now.  I tell you, baby laughs are the best sounds in the world.  I love them.  Her Dad is the best at getting her to belly laugh.  Blowing raspberries on her tummy and playing peek-a-boo are the surest ways to get some giggles. 

Sarah is just the sweetest little girl.  When you go into a room and she sees you her whole face just lights up and smiles and she makes you feel like the best person in the world.  She is just such a sweetheart and pretty much has everyone in the family wrapped around her little fingers. 

Speaking of fingers, Sarah loves her fingers, or anyone's fingers!  She loves to suck on her hand and fingers or anyone else that's around.  She is a big fan of her binkie as well.  We are definitely entering the drool phase and everything goes straight into her mouth and the almost-constant drool on her shirt. 

Sarah is also getting a lot more interested in the world around her.  She definitely is interested in her toys now and her favorite seems to be her elephant (it was Jacob's favorite too!).  She is also more interested while we read to her and I can tell is more engaged in the pictures.

We love our sweet girl.
