Dear Lucy,
Five months already! That's too close to 6 months, which is way too close to one year. You're becoming quite the little person these days -- very aware of your surroundings, grasping those hands, mimicking our expressions, trying out your little voice and its levels of loudness.
Everyone tells me you must be the happiest baby on the planet -- you smile a lot and at everyone you see! I'm so glad you have such a good demeanor; I hope you never get the stranger anxiety a lot of people warn me about. There are sometimes you're with someone else, and your lower lip comes out in the most hilarious way and you just let out a huge wail. I haven't quite figured out the cause of that one!
You figured out how to roll from back to belly, but not the other way around. Then you get mad while you're on your tummy because you get stuck. It's another reason you're not sleeping in your crib yet! You love putting weight on your legs -- I'm almost wondering if you'll master walking before anything else.
You're still awesome at being out in public -- you love your car seat, the stroller, being in new places and hearing ambient noises. And it works for me since I have been in need of a Saturday shopping buddy since your dad's been working a lot of Saturdays. I can tell you're going to be my little shopper girl. You still love music and being sung to, and you really get a kick out of being tossed in the air and "flying".
Your looks are changing a lot to me. You're looking more like a little girl and less like a baby. Your hair is getting lighter and falling out (so is Mommy's). You're all round and chubby and pretty long. It's rare, but sometimes I see some of me in your appearance, but mostly you're Daddy's little clone.
Again, I can't get over just how much you have changed my entire world. I love you more every day, which I didn't think it was even possible. As much as I'm sad to see these baby months fly by, I'm sooo excited to see you take in the world and be old enough to say "I love you, Mommy."
I love you, Big Girl Buggles!!
Love, Mommy
