I took these pictures 2 weeks ago on Lily's 5 month birthday thinking I'd get them right up. And here it is almost just as close to her 6 month mark. That's blogging true Carrie fashion. I just can't let them go unblogged (that's a word now. I just made it up) because I love them! I love the rolls. I love how they show her little 5 month old wonderment.

Here are some Lily facts at 5 months.

She is HAPPY - and therefore we are happy! She has overcome her sad phase and has turned into quite the pleasant little baby.

She's been threatening to roll for a while, but is yet to do it. I don't know. I didn't think babies got any lazier than our oldest three were. Apparently they do because they had all rolled by this time.

As far as toys go, she could take them or leave them. What she really loves are her feet and hands. She'll lay for a long while just holding onto and staring at her limbs. I know it's a normal baby thing, but that doesn't make it any less cute.

Amazingly enough, she still has that little baby feel to her - and I'm so happy. She loves to cuddle. She still loves to be held against my chest and she tucks those little feet up and we're both in heaven.

She's got some cheeks on her. Actually 2 sets of them, but I'm referring to the ones visible to the public. Everyone always comments on the cheeks. Oh how we love to kiss them!

She adores her big sisters and brother almost as much as her pacifier. She's very generous with her squeals and smiles.

She hasn't shown any signs of interest in food yet. Yippee! I really DON'T enjoy the baby food stage. Reas keeps threatening with the icecream though.
