5 Month Interview

Mom: Are you ready for your second interview?
Mariah: I was born ready! I don't know why you didn't start these earlier.
Mom: Neither do I. How does it feel to be five months old?
Mariah: Wonderful! I have learned so much!
Mom: Would you be willing to share some of the things you have learned?
Mariah: Well, I just love mouths, especially when they are talking. I can't seem to look at anything else. I love to look at you and put my hand up on your face. For some reason you really seem to like that.
Mom: It just melts my heart. Go on with what you have learned.
Mariah: I'm babbling a lot more now, but I'm still pretty quiet about it. I wouldn't want to draw too much attention to myself. I also recently discovered that during bath time it is a lot of fun to suck on the washcloth! I'd really enjoy it if you weren't pulling it out of my mouth all the time.
Mom: Sorry, for some reason I can't get over the fact that you are putting something that cleaned your bottom into your mouth. What did you do this past week?
Mariah: I'm so glad you asked! I got to go to Grandma and Grandpa Young's and play with my cousins Trey, Emerson and Elise. It was a lot of fun!
Mom: What else did you do while you were there?
Mariah: We had a little photo shoot out in the front yard. I didn't like it much at the beginning and made sure you all knew. But after you fed me and I had a five minute nap I decided picture taking wasn't that bad after all!
Mom: Is it alright if I put some pictures up from that?
Mariah: Please do! I think everyone would love that.

Mariah: We're a good lookin' group of kids!
Mom: You sure are. Did you miss Dad while we were gone?
Mariah: Yes I did. Especially at night time. I just cried and cried. I think I would have been much better if Daddy would have been there.
Mom:  I would have been too. How were the plane rides?
Mariah: Lots of fun! I liked how nice everyone was to me. I loved looking at the people behind us. They seemed to always be smiling at me and making funny faces. I didn't really like how my ears felt, but I didn't cry for too long. It was a great adventure; I don't know why you were so nervous to go with me alone.
Mom: I guess it had to do with some horror stories I have heard. Mariah, is there anything you really don't like?
Mariah: I'm a very happy girl but there are a few things that really get my dander up. I really don't like bedtime. I just know it's coming when you walk into my bedroom and I usually lose it before you ever lay me down in the crib. If I had it my way I'd stay up 'til eleven every night. I also can't stand tummy time. I tolerate it for about 30 seconds than I let you know how much I disapprove of the silly practice.
Mom: Is that why you haven't rolled over yet?
Mariah: Probably, why would I roll onto my stomach? That would be miserable.
Mom: Well this has been great! Let's do it next month!
Mariah: I would love to!
