ESTHER AT 5 MONTHS

SIS IS FIVE MONTHS!

-SHE STARTED EATING SOLID FOODS. AND SHE'S A PIGGY.

-SERIOUSLY THOUGH, I CAN'T KEEP UP WITH HER DEMAND.

-THIS IS MY LAST MONTH OF NURSING. I JUST WANTED TO MAKE IT TO 6 MONTHS AND I FEEL IT'S A PERFECT TIME FOR THE BOTH OF US.

-SHE SLEPT 12 HOURS STRAIGHT AT NIGHT.......FOR ABOUT A WEEK! AND EVER SINCE SHE STILL GET'S UP TO EAT IN THE WEE HOURS OF THE MORNING. I'M TELLING YOU, SHE'S A PIGGY.

-SHE USED TO SUCK HER THUMB SOMETIMES. NOW IT'S A LOT OF TIMES. AND WHAT IS WEIRD IS SHE SUCKS HER LEFT THUMB MOSTLY BUT WE HAVE CAUGHT HER QUITE OF FEW TIMES SUCKING HER RIGHT. WHATEVER SHE CAN GET.

-WE ARE ON ABSOLUTELY NO SCHEDULE! I'M ACTUALLY PROUD OF MYSELF. THIS IS HUGE FOR ME. I AM A SCHEDULE QUEEN. SHE EATS WHEN SHE EATS. SLEEPS WHEN SHE SLEEPS. IT'S DIFFERENT EVERY SINGLE DAY DEPENDING WHAT WE ARE DOING. IT FEELS GOOD.

-I STILL GIVE HER A BOTTLE A DAY. AND SHE IS GETTING BETTER WITH IT. TYLER JUST STARTED BEING ABLE TO DO IT ALSO. WHAT A RELIEF.

-SHE LAUGHS MORE OFTEN AND SMILES ALWAYS.

-SHE TRIES TO ROLL AS SOON AS I LAY HER DOWN. SO I HOLD HER BUM DOWN UNTIL SHE FINDS HER THUMB. SHE WON'T SLEEP ON HER BACK FOR VERY LONG.

-SHE'S BABBLING. DADADADA.

-TYLER AND I NIBBLE ON HER ROLLS EVERY CHANCE WE GET.

-OUR LIVES REVOLVE AROUND THIS LITTLE STINK POT.
