Happy 5 months!

The little girl turned five months last Saturday. Has it really been five months now since she was born into this world?

cutie Erin

She’s grown up a lot in that short span of time.

  • She can roll over on to her tummy very easily, with little or no help from us. Getting back to lie on her back is still a bit more difficult for her.
  • She is more vocal than ever. By this I mean, she loves to shout and scream and make all kinds of noise. I suppose she is into exploring sounds these days.
  • Aside from sound, Erin is very much into exploring through touch. She will grab anything placed near her and bring them to her mouth. I think this is because she may also be teething.
  • Her hair is getting pretty long, and therefore, unruly. Those Goody barrettes are the greatest! :D
  • Erin is more sociable as well. By just throwing her a big smile, she will also do the same. Sometimes, we are rewarded with giggles.
  • She’s starting to sleep better too, especially at night. Thank God! No need to explain this one. :)
  • Erin’s more aware of her surroundings now. She knows when I’ve left the room. Sometimes I think she’s starting to develop separation anxiety. :(

Babies grow up so fast! They are amazing, I tell you. They can surprise you every now and then. More often than not, these surprises are just a delight.
