etta moon: 5 months

Dear Etta,
At five months old you weight 24 lbs and are 28inches tall which are both off the charts for measurements.
The biggest milestone you hit this month was learning how to sit up!
It's amazing to see your giant chubby body balance out on your huge role legs and bum.
Your sleep this month has been ROUGH.
You wake often during the night and it's killing me and Dad.
We seriously don't know how you survive on such little sleep because you are just do dang happy during the day.
Honestly you have been the easiest and chill tempered baby we've had so far.
You are so happy just to BE and we reallllllly appreciate it.
You've been an amazing little traveler this summer too.
Even though you suck sleeping at night, you are super content to just sleep on the go, wherever we happen to be at the time.
You get distracted when nursing now that you are starting to pay more attention to the world around you.
You love sitting in your high chair during our meals and we think you are just about ready to start up on solid foods!
Your cry is super cute and so quiet.
We always have to remember to keep the baby monitor on when you're napping in your crib or else we won't hear you at all when you wake up.
You love being in the pool and you enjoy your baths much more now that you can sit up in them.
You eyes are still bright blue and your hair is growing in thick and dark.
Still no teeth yet, but you are chomping down on everything.
We are obsessed with your big gummy grin.
Heavenly Father knew we needed you in our family, even when we didn't think we were ready for another baby.
We are so grateful you are here Etta girl, we can't imagine our life without you.
Love,
Momma
