FIVE MONTHS! Five. That's almost six months and six months is half of her turning 1 soooo I pretty much have a toddler on my hands. Haha. Dramatic? But seriously though. She's growing so incredibly fast and I can't seem to take in every little moment.
I keep telling myself to ENJOY motherhood. Truly enjoy it. We've had a rough start but I'm trying to get better by remembering that life will work out how it's supposed to. Scottie will have troubles, I will have troubles. But I'm doign the best I can and one thing I do know is that I love this girl witha ll my heart.
She's learned so much in the last month.
She discovered her toes and now she eats them! Loves to chew on those funny lookin' toes that her daddy gave to her. The poor girl :)
She loves to hold her bottle! Obsessed actually. When I give it to her she can't get her hands wrapped around it fast enough. I think she's a determined little one and I can tell it's part of her personality. Just like her mama. Speaking of determined. She curls her little knees under her chest and tries to crawl!! I think we're about to have a crawler on our hands soon. And then my life is over. Right? Haha time to baby proof EVERYTHING or more like take all your decorations down. Our house of course, has SO many corners. Cam and I love the modern look and of course comes the corners so our poor child has to deal with the corners. Hopefully she learns quickly and doesn't hurt herself too bad :) Our next house will definitely be a little more child proof. Live and learn.
She loves to smile. She smiles at everyone and it's very easy to get a big gummy smile out of her. Strangers comment on it. I love that about Scottie. She's the happiest little girl even when she's not feeling 100%. Smiley Scottie.
Everyone in Japan would look at Scottie and say "Oh my gosh she's so cute! She looks like a doll!" I think you put her gummy smile, bald head, blue eyes, chubby round face together and there you have it. A cabbage patch doll. We love our baby cabbage patch!
Scottie loves to talk. But these days she likes to talk at 6:00 a.m. A.M.! At first it would frustrate me because it wasn't time to wake up. But then I realized, you know what, she's happy. She's in her bed just playing with her feet and talking talking talking. It's more of a vowel sounding talk v. the cooing. She's learning!
This babe is also ROLLING. Rolling right, left, right, left, right, left, and before I know it. This girl has rolled all the way from the TV room into the kitchen. Silly girl. She knows where she wants to go and gets there. Again. My determined daughter.
We're so happy and love our Scottie.
Dear Scottie girl,
You're growing too fast! Mom is trying to soak in every moment but the days seem to go so quickly and your mom is always stressed that you're not getting enough food, getting enough sleep, comfortable enough, etc. The other day, you thew up, then you pooped in the tub, I cleaned it out, and then you pooped in the tub again! The problems seemed like it they never ending. But then I remembered those days where I longed for you for so long and it made life better. I've wanted you in my life for a really long time. And I never want to take you for granted. I want you to have the perfect, safest, most happiest life. But I know I can't protect you from everything. I want you to be happy. I hope that you pick up the best traits from your mom and your dad and learn from our mistakes. We love you. We want the world for you. Thank you for smiling. Thank you for making me smile! Mom needs that in her life. She needs your gummy smiles and snuggles. It makes her so happy when she can still hold you in her arms and put you to sleep. It will make me sad when the day comes when we move you out of our room. (I know...you're still sleeping next to me because I can't get myself to move you! I'll be too sad.) Keep smiling for me.
XOXO
Mom
