Dear Maddie,
I say it every month, really every day, but it is so hard to believe how fast time flies! You are growing like a weed and getting bigger and more independent every day. I thought we had a pact- you were going to stay mommy's little baby and live with me forever, what happened? It is amazing to me that you are now five months old and just like the previous months, you must instinctively know you are older today because you felt the need to show off! I was woken up this morning to you talking up a storm. "Gooo, gaa, gee, oh, ey, hey"!! You woke up very sure of yourself and you had much to say. This was so funny as it came out of nowhere, as if your eyes opened and felt the need to talk to the world. I was so excited and loved hearing it especially since the last few weeks you hadn't been saying very much.

You continue to be my "little magician" and showing mommy your new magic tricks. Your newest trick is taking your pacifier out of your mouth and putting it back in, all by yourself! Your hand-eye coordination has improved dramatically, just in time for you to put anything that crosses your path into your mouth.
Over the past month, you have mastered rolling from your stomach to your back as well as sitting up. You can sit up very well, almost completely on your own. Very soon, my dear you will not need any assistance, but for now, mommy and daddy sit near you to make sure you don't topple over! You are trying to crawl, it is a bit more of a scoot on your belly, but you are determined! Your personality is developing and coming out more each day. You are soooo funny!! You make silly faces, try to eat everything and make mommy laugh all day long. You are still going through early teething. You haven't gotten any teeth yet, but they are on their way. This has caused some changes in your sleeping habits and you want to eat EVERYTHING!!!!
This month we read a lot. Mommy is really trying to increase our reading and you seem to really enjoy it. You are now in the habit of really looking at the pages and will often hold the book all on your own. What we have been reading lately is a lot of Dr Seuss. You are tolerating longer stories and so we have been reading a lot of silly ones: The Cat in the Hat, One Fish Two Fish, Mr. Brown can Moo can you?. And, since it was just Easter- we have been reading pretty much anything with a bunny in it!!
Mommy is trying to be much better at taking lots of pictures and writing everything you do down. Your favorites right now are: the jumperoo, baby einstein exersaucer, pooh bear, bunnies, and still elephants ( dumbo, horton, giggles). We have been doing a lot with animals, you seem to love the animals from the rainforest and the animal sounds. Most of the day, mommy is singing songs to you! You love Old McDonald Had a Farm, If you're happy and you know it and the wheels on the bus.
I love you more every day my little cutie. You continue to surprise me and I just can't get enough of you. While I really want you to stay a baby forever, I admit I can't wait to see what you are going to do next!!
Love,
Mommy
