Five Months Old

Abby turned 5 months today and I can't believe how fast her little life is flying by! In less than one month, she will be 1/2 of a year old....how is this so? I guess I will deal with that when the time comes.

Here is Abby and Peanut on her 5 month birthday:

That's right--Abby learned to sit up this past month as well as finding the letter "B". Here is a little video of her new skills:

Other accomplishments of this past month that I did not get a chance to blog about:

*Laughing out loud--I came home for work and Abby and Gramps greeted me at the door. Abby gave me a big smile along with a verbalized laugh!! Usually she would just give a "huh" and a smile, but this time it was a full laugh!

*Her second cold/case of the Snarphs--Christmas Eve came with the gift of a cold, the snarphs, and cough. The cough has managed to hang around and now we think it is part of the teething process

*Digression--her great sleep habits have gone by the wayside due to the cough as has her ability to roll over...so sad!!! She is back to her newborn schedule of feeding every 2/12 to 3 1/2 hours because her cough wakes her up and then she realizes that she is hungry and won't go back to sleep w/o feeding (and sometimes coughing til she pukes). During all of this, we laid off of tummy time due to the drainage and she has since forgot how to roll over. Oh well, it will come back sooner than later.
