MOVING AND SHAKING

Oh Lisbeth,

Your mommy is so proud of you. Darling, you're just doing so well. I am so happy to see all of the things you're learning to do. Right now, you are 11lbs 12 oz, 23 inches tall and in just one week you will be a whole 5 months old.

Every day, I watch you advance and become stronger and smarter. It's an absolutely incredible thing. You are able to hold your head up so well, although you still wobble a little at times. I never get tired of seeing your big, bright eyes looking all around as you turn your head back and forth.

I am so entertained, if I hold you up like you're standing, you push your little legs against me, and take little wobbly steps. I feel like if we keep playing like this, you'll be walking in no time! It's so cute how you push yourself up when lying on your belly, and kick those little baby frog legs. I can't wait to see you succeed at walking and crawling after all of your hard work. Your physical therapist said we need to practice sitting up more, though, so that you don't fall behind in that area.

I haven't really caught you doing it yet, but I know you can roll over. We came home the other day and you had fallen asleep in your car seat. I unbuckled the straps, and after I put your things down, I turned around and you had rolled onto your belly and stretched out with your chunky little baby legs hanging over the edge of the car seat. It's just so cute watching you get comfortable in your sleep.

I love to hold you while you're sleeping. I just love you more than any words could ever say, and that closeness just makes me so happy. I always think to myself, "I wish that you understood even a fraction of how much I love you, and how much you mean to me," but then I think that you already do. I just hope that you love me just as much. <3
