Yes, you, my little chicken, have a new nickname, and it is PINCHY! You pat my face with these soft and gentle wide open fingers and stare into my eyes, and just when you're about to melt my mommy heart you SQUEEZE! Let me just say, ouch, little girl, ouch! If you grab my lip one more time...oh, that's right, I'll probably kiss you and hug you and squeeze you just like always..but if you're weren't so cute you'd be in big trouble, missy! So, let's see. It's been a busy month. You've been so busy you haven't bothered to roll over yet--you better by the time we go to the six month appointment or Dr. G might give me a crazy look and think that there is something wrong with you. I, however, know that you are just happy to stare up at the ceiling fan and/or your toys or my face, and then when we flip you onto your tummy you are just as content to stare at the toys we put down for you or the carpet if we are mean and leave you there with nothing to do thinking you will get bored and want to roll over and look at the ceiling fan--no success yet, but in all honesty, it just gives me a little more time where I don't have to chase you!
I think you may decide to skip the whole rolling thing and go straight to sitting up, which you can do fairly well, and only decide to flop over every once in a while. You may actually just skip that and go right to standing which about two weeks ago you started--and it wasn't a gradual thing, it was all of a sudden, on day, I would grab your fingers and you pull on your arms and with that little effort you were up and standing on those chubby little legs that I WISH you would let me nibble on!
See how excited you get?
You haven't been given any "real" food yet, still just a boob girl, and that is fine with me (and you) so again, we'll have to get on that before the next appointment so we don't get the, "Are you crazy?" stare from Dr. G! I think I'll like him a lot more when you're a little bit older...but anyway, this is about you, not the doctors! Also, I think you may be the youngest baby I have ever met who has a best friend...his name is Noah. You hold his hand when he wakes up from a nap and is sad that he can't see his mommy right away. You let him hold your giraffe and you cry when he is upset...too funny. So, we had to document this budding friendship, and Noah had the bright idea of putting his arm around you...silly baby!
But I'm not going to worry about you and boys, because as you can see from the above pictures, he got a little cozy with you, and you showed him..not sure if that is a bite, a lick, or a kiss...but either way, you took control of that situation! (And no, we didn't plan the matching diapers, we just happened to not have our diaper bag when you soaked through your cruiser and Sarah was so kind as to lend give us a new one!)
You experienced your first Halloween. Not too sure if you liked it or not, but everyone who came to the door loved you! There were even two little girls who were blinded by your cuteness and were too busy touching you and talking to you to see the candy bowl that I had shoved in their faces--don't worry, they got their loot before they left!
You fell in love with your daddy and your face light up the second he walks into the room!
You still love to be worn and I call it my, "Portable Nap," when we are out and about you will not take the time to shut your eyes and get some sleep unless I pull you close and tie you on...but you know what, it doesn't bother me because there is nothing that I love more than you little body close enough to mine for me to smell and kiss!

It is getting harder and harder to fit one month into a letter for you. There is so much I want to remember, yet the more active you get and the busier our days the faster time seems to go by! So let me list a bunch and see where that gets me. You still love your swing (although you are almost at the weight limit), you are a bedtime champ and deserve a ribbon because after your bath, book, and boob you are out for the night until 4am, you're still addicted to your soothie, you love to read and now help me by grabbing the pages, you don't mind tummy time, you steal glaces of the TV every time it is on and stare, you love pulling my hair and giving me wide open drooly mouthed kisses, you mush your face into my neck and giggle....oh yea, you GIGGLE and LAUGH! We kiss your belly or swing you around and all of a sudden we are the funniest mommy and daddy alive!
You still love your bath and you're getting us more wet as each day near your kick-y legs goes by! We finally figured out that we needed to get you some faster-flow bottle nipples for when we're apart and you're back to taking your bottle like a pro! You still cough to get my attention and then break into a face splitting smile! You love to talk and gurgle and lay on your back and thump your feet. You are amazed by the buttons on the exersaucer and will play the music and then look up at me to make sure I am dancing! You get mad at the computer when you can't watch the colors on the screen when I play music, or when I pull you away from the keyboard and keep your fingers from the keys! You're starting to appreciate the bumbo...and you STILL wait five or six days between pooping...and my smart little baby, you usually let her rip when I'm away! I went to the grocery store for 20 minutes while you were here with Sarah and Noah and sure enough, you filled that diaper, and yesterday while you were with your grandma and daddy and I were at work, same thing! You're a model student and we have taken a baby signing class and a Itsy Bitsy Yoga class...and I think the next letter that I write to you will include something about teeth because all you want to do is gnaw and drool and bite!
You're sitting in my lap getting fussy, so here we end the letter! I'll give everyone of the Christmas cuteness to come and call it a day!
Love,
Mom
P.S. Sometimes I just want to eat you!!
