Brylianna you are 5 months old, oh my goodness that is just crazy. You are soooo cute and smiley and giggley and such a genuinely happy baby, I love it sooooo much :) You have discovered your toes and like to suck on them. Baby flexibility is amazing. You are discovering how to just suck on your thumb and not all of your fingers. You have tried yogurt and didn't really know what to think of it and you tried some banana and I think you like it. You smile everytime we smack our lips and it is so cute to watch your cute smile and your eyes light up. You are still sleeping pretty good and sleep in the swing for naps and the pack n play at night. I went in to check on you the other night and you were sleeping on your stomach with your head down, which freaked me out for a second, cuz that is the first time you have done that, I rushed in and grabbed you and you weren't too happy to be woken up, but I was super happy your were okay.( I'm sure lots of moms have done that :) , I will have to get used to it though) You still roll from your back to your tummy everytime we put you down and are starting to kind of move backwards and you can turn and change which direction you are facing sometimes. I can tell you just want to move and go everywhere and learn how to crawl, I think you will learn how soon! You are just trying to figure out the world, I can see it in your bright beautiful eyes and it is so cute. Dad took you outside the other day while it was snowing and you were mesmerized. You are such a sweet little spirit, we are starting to see hints of your personality show through and it makes us excited for when you can talk and tell us what is going on in that little mind of yours, but right now we are enjoying this adorable stage of life with you. Love you baby girl!

5 months postpartum yay I am finally feeling mostly back to where I was pre-pregnancy except I am not in near as good of shape cardiovascular wise and strength wise. But as a mother ( even though I am still a pretty new mother) I do think it is so important to take time to keep yourself healthy so that you can give more to your family. Some moms feel guilty for taking time to work out etc. but it is totally worth it in the long run! I am happier when I am healthy and I think that makes everyone happier :)
And it snowed like more than a foot the other day! Winter is in full force I would say. I am not a huge fan of winter, but it was beautiful!
