Five Months with Alaska

 Favorite Things:  You have discovered a particular fabric to love after all of your sucking on various blankets, burp cloths, toys, washcloths, and clothes.  You have a favorite shirt that you tend to soak in your mouth.  It's a pity that it's my most favorite because whenever you wear it you are not a warm and cuddly baby.  You are a wet monster with drool streaming from your mouth and strings of spit attached to your fingers.  It's disgusting enough that even your grandma mary would rather you in some dry clothes.  

Special Talent:  You roll up and over your left shoulder from your back to your tummy.  You haven't gotten down the steering of the roll, you roll just for the fun of it as soon as we set you on the floor and fuss until we flip you back over.

Favorite Pastime:  Visiting with people.  You are a social butterfly already and can charm a compliment out of anyone with your everlasting smile.  Your daddy had to take you out of priesthood because you were being a little fussy but once church was over and people were looking at you again you cheered right up.



Sleep:  You slept in your car seat all this month.  Next step... the crib!  You sleep through the night starting at 7:30 and take a nap that can range between 1-3 hours.  


Crying: There's a lot more of this now that you tend to get frustrated with your inability to get where you want to be.

Dislikes:  When it takes me too long to make a bottle.




Likes:  You pretty much love everything.  You have been so awesome to have around.  The best addition to our family.  I couldn't have dreamed of a better baby then you have been.


My Favorite Part:  Your little chubby legs are at just the right chubbiness and I love holding you and squeezing them a little as you suck on a bottle.
