Elia is five months old today! I just can not believe how fast it is all happening. Every day she does something new. She stays sitting up when we put in that position. She loves to stare at her hands and will play with her fingers. She has an affinity for texture and pattern (wonder where that comes from). She is in constant movement. I would like to say that while she is sleeping she is still but she even moves in her sleep! She is a chatty catty while we are home and has discovered several new noises. I think she is desperate to talk. However when we are out and about doing our many new activities, she is rather quiet and just stares bright eyed at everything. People are always telling us how "alert" she is. Are five month olds supposed to just sit there and do nothing? She wants to see and learn everything. She loves to be with other kids and still loves to be outside. People are also always telling us how pretty she is. I tell Josh that people say that about all babies but he thinks they go out of their way to tell us. He says "she brings Joy to the world!".
We are now making that her theme song.
Trying to get Elia to pose with the number block is proving a little more difficult this month. Like I said, she never sits still.
