Too Big For Her Britches!

Hannah is way too big for her britches and is growing up way too fast-I know I say this alot, but it is true! Last Sunday she turned 5 months old and on Monday as we were eating dinner, she was in her bumbo and kept arching herself to try and reach my cup. So I put the straw up to her mouth thinking she will just try to bite on it, but she sucked the water right up, like she had sucked out of a straw a million times before. I couldn't believe it! I remember with the boys I would sit there with them and make myself look like a goofball trying to teach them how to suck out of a straw. I can't remember exactly how old they were, but definately older than 5 months.

Then about 2 weeks ago I was sitting on the floor with her and had her sitting up playing with toys and she seemed to do pretty well, she tipped over a few times, but I thought for a first-timer she did great. So I kept at it everyday and now she is a little pro and can I just say my world has changed! The girl LOVES to be held, and would cry almost instantly when we put her down, but now that she can sit up, play with toys and see what is going on in our little world, she seems to be cool with not being in our arms all the time. It is so fun to watch her learn and grow, but sometimes I wish I could stop time in it's tracks and keep her little forever.

Wow! My babies are only 2 weeks younger than yours, but it seems like months when it comes to milestones. They aren't doing any of that stuff yet. They are just now rolling. Hannah needs to come show them how it's done!
