Oh Little Miss Miriam has turned 5 months this week. Yesterday I just looked at her and cried. I could not believe that she has grown up so much. She's my baby, but she's growing out of her baby-ness everyday.
At 5 months she's in size 3-6 clothes and size 2 diapers. I want to say that we've gotten into a good schedule and routine during the day, but that means a completely different thing with my second baby than it did with my first. We've learned to plan naps and feedings around other day time activities so that Evette and I don't go stir crazy.
We usually nurse 4 times a day and she eats solid foods maybe twice a day. She loves food. Loves it. She's a good little eater and doesn't make too much of a mess.
We're still working on forming better night time habits.... but it's so hard! She wakes up maybe 3-6 times a night. Sometimes it's just as easy as putting a pacifier back in, sometimes she requires rocking, and she also needs to be nursed at least once during the night. It's hard. I'm tired. It's been 5 months. We gotta figure something out.
She's a happy little chicken. All full of laughs and smiles during the day. She seriously could not be more pleasant or good natured. So happy.
We frequently get stopped at the grocery store or on our walks for people to ooo and ahh over the babies. And more than occasionally people have said regarding Miriam, "Oh! That's a real baby, not just a doll!" People seriously think that's she's a doll because she's so tiny, adorable, and has a permanent (mas or menos) smile on her face.
Evette's such a good helper.
She's so strong! She can nearly sit up all on her own! She needs some propping up, but she does pretty good!
Photo bomb!
Miriam is such a blessing in our lives. She has filled out family with such happiness. She has filled a hole that I didn't even know was there.
She's my angel baby.
