Five Months

• The girl loves to chew on her hands and toes. She acts like she is teething with all the chewing and drooling she is doing. 

• She has become such a happy baby. She loves to talk and gets excited about attention from anyone. When we are around other people she will stare at them and right when they make eye contact with her she gives the biggest grin with some happy little wriggles. 

• She loves to grab fistfuls of hair and even does it to me in the middle of the night. She gets Eliza the most because she is always right up in her face. 

One morning I told Eliza she could pick out an outfit for Vivi. After bringing out a dress I told her it was a Sunday dress. Eliza then looked at the tag and said, "hmmm, this says, 'not a Sunday dress.'" So Vivi wore the dress. 

• Bedtimes are getting better and she is starting to nap more. 

• I left her for three days with Tanner and she was amazing. She took a bottle no problem and was pretty happy. Tanner had one rough night with her but his parents were here to help as well. When I got home and held her she looked from me to Tanner and then gave a big ol' pucker. Tanner held her for a minute and then I fed her and all was forgiven. 
• She is starting to roll on her side but if she's anything like her siblings we won't be expecting her to roll over anytime soon. She tolerates tummy time better than any of our other babies have though. 

• She likes to bat me with her free arm while nursing. It makes it a little less relaxing. 
• She's still a great sport getting hauled all over the place. She takes naps at the pool and in the car as we drive around. 

This girl is such a delight!
