5 Months!

Our little Violet is 5 months old today :) Each day that passes we just love her more and more :) Right now the best things about our little V are:

* She has an infectious smile
* She giggles hysterically at almost everything
* She loves to grab things with her hands and look at them... And suck on them of course
* Daycare has taught her to be a bottle champ again
* She's just so darn squeezable... Especially those thighs!
* She's starting to sit up for longer periods of time
* She'll stay on her tummy for AGES now! And gets her entire chest off the floor, almost to her hips!
* She smiles at us because she knows who we are :)
* She tracks Odie around the back yard
* She likes to pet Odie and giggles because his ears are so soft
* She looooves flying above your head while you look at her
* We want to spend all our free time with her because she's just so spectacular :)

So today! We kicked off the day with an attempt to go to baby story time at the library near our house, but it had been cancelled... We'll go next week :)

I dropped her off at daycare for a couple hrs while I deep cleaned the house, dead headed my roses, did dishes, and did laundry. Then V and I took Odie to the dog park, took a nap, gave Odie a bath, then went to a friends house for dinner while daddy went to his golf lesson :) So much fun!

It's been a month and a half since Violet has had any acid reflux. I've stayed away from problem foods and have been sooooo careful. The doctor said I could try and 're-challenge' her as she gets older... But I'm certain she's not quite there yet... Because she's got it... Bad :( I tried to 're-challenge' her tonight with some mild salsa and black beans... NOT good. In fact, quite horrible :( I always forget how sad and terrible her painful shrieks are until I hear them again :( It's just so horrible and the worst part is that I know that I'm the one who did it to her :( Heartbreaking right?! Thank goodness it only lasts for an hour tops, but that's enough for me! Then she's a bit fussy for the next couple days while it exits my and her systems :( Maybe next month! Good thing I only ate a VERY small taco :)

Aaahhhh :) She cooed herself to sleep :)

Ps- do you spy that crazy frown on V's face?! Oh please baby girl!
