The end of February brought us to Maeve's 5th month birthday mark! How that is possible, I'm not even sure. She's continued to be an opinionated, squeal, chatty little munchkin. So long as she's not tired, she's a social butterfly. Loud, louuuud, happy squeals fill the rooms where strangers are found. Her way of saying "Hello!" "I'm happy!!" "You're new!!!"
Being her mama (and if you ask Adam, her daddy) is nothing (ok...mostly) fun! She can be quite exhausting, but for the most part she's an easy baby, and I'm really starting to feel more and more sure of myself. Sure that I know her needs and can identify her cues pretty quickly.
She's not sitting up on her own quite yet, but she likes to practice. She'll give the Bumbo a shot here and there, but after about five minutes she begins arching her back and trying to climb out. Never mind that she can't climb. (Did we mention she wants what she wants?)
Another super cute Maeve-ism, most smiles she scrunches her nose and sticks out her tongue. It.Is.Adorable.
Also, the girl who was not so in to tummy time before is the tummy Queen! She is our little alligator, flipping over and trying to crawl away the moment you lay her down to change her diaper. On the play-mat she flips over almost immediately and we often return to find her turned 180 degrees.
Watching her doggies.
She is very impressed with her Christmas toy from her Grandma and Grandpa. (Spot on grandparents!) A gyroscopic music box it has the music on one side, a mirror on another and the third side has little beads you can slide back and forth. A few weeks ago she watched me slide the beads back and forth and push the toy to make it swing and copied me. Three times in a row! It was absolutely amazing to see her do something deliberately. Amazing!
Another Maevey favorite is still eating her clothes. Particularly dresses and long shirts. But in a pinch, bibs will satisfy.
Look at those yummy baby feet! How I love this little girl and spending all day kissing her chipmunk cheeks and nibbling her little toes!
