Our little Aubrey Grace is 5 months old! She is doing great! Her tummy problems are controlled on the prilosec, she is growing like a weed, and is becoming more of an individual each day. She is dying to crawl and I think it's going to happen soon. She can get herself in crawl position but can't really go anywhere yet. I think once her upper body is a little stronger she'll be crawling all over the place. She still likes to stand up and have us help her walk, the only problem is she keeps her toes curled up which doesn't help with balance very much. She loves being in her walkers (yes, she has more than one) and still enjoys her excer-saucer. She also has her first boyfriend - a Bert puppet from Sesame Street, only Bitsy can never remember its name so we call it "Bert-Ernie". Aubrey is completely infatuated with Bert-Ernie. She can't get into sitting position on her own but if you help her sit-up she can stay up. She has found her different voices and babbles all the time now. She is currently teething, which means a lot of drooling, putting everything in her mouth, and a little bit of fussy because of the pain. I know she needs teeth but I sure will miss that cute toothless smile! We have started having pool time and she loves it! We have a tanning ledge that is just a couple inches of water, so it is perfect for her to sit and play on. I have ordered her some pool floats so we'll see how that goes!
We really enjoy watching her little personality develop; she is definitely her own person. She is a total cuddle bug, which we love. Every morning I get her out of her crib and put her in our bed fifteen minutes before we need to get up. She stretches and rolls around and plays with our faces, it is so sweet. She loves lazy play-time in our bed, which works out great for us! It has been fun developing little routines with her that we all enjoy.
She is growing and changing every day, I can't wait to see what this next month brings!!
