Sadie at 5 Months

Oh the exciting things that 5 months brings! This huge milestone is marked with two new teeth, a little girl who can sit up on her own (when feet and hands are perfectly propped), smiles at everyone and tries to bite her mommy’s nose! And, most importantly, 5 months has brought us a little girl who gets harder and harder to leave each day because of her silly and sweet personality.

It’s so fun to watch Sadie's personality change with each of these week-by-week photos as well as the change in the season here in Chicago! I still can't believe how quickly she is growing! 

Nicknames: Button, Sadie Boo, Baby Girl, Boo Boo Girl, Stinky, Stinker
Temperament: Happy as ever! You're such a smiley girl and everyone comments on it when we're out and about. But, at the same time if we're out and you're not happy about it, you let us know. Very, very loudly!
Things I Could Do Without: Those pesky teeth you're getting! You're still a pretty good night sleeper but those teeth tend to wake you up from time to time and it's not fun for any of us.
Item/Toy We Love The Most:  Chew beads. I love being able to throw this necklace around my neck when we're out. You can chomp on it when I'm holding you but it still looks like I'm wearing a fun necklace.
Item/Toy You Love The Most: Your play mat. It's been a favorite in the past and has become even more fun for you as you pull on all of the toys.
Things I’m Loving Most Right Now: All of your giggles and the way you study my face so closely, especially if you haven't seen me for awhile. I also love how in the mornings instead of nursing you smile at everything in your room (your dresser, the tree decal on the wall, your crib, etc). You are so happy it's a brand new day! You also have been enjoying "biting" my nose!
Things You’re Loving Most Right Now: Riding in your stroller. We transitioned you out of your car seat and into the main part of your stroller. You love sitting like a big girl and watching the world around you.
Sounds/Words: The race is on - will you say "mama" or "dada" first? I think you've been starting to babble "mama" but someone else in our house disagrees. We shall see!
Foods You Like: Breast milk but we're excited to give you your first "real" food soon!

I actually made this little peasant top for Sadie! I promise she liked it.



One of the last warm days of summer!



It’s fall and time for snuggly sweatshirts!



We got a little “fancy” this day. A lady must always have her purse.
