5 months old!

My baby girl is 5 months old. I can't believe it's been 5 months already. It just seems like yesterday I was STILL pregnant. Whew. They tell you when you are young that time flies, but man, you don't really see it till you watch your babies grow up...

At 5 months old Cadie weighs about 18 lbs and is 26 inches long. She can roll over in both directions and sit up on her own. That's her favorite thing! She LOVES to sit up anywhere she can so she can grab things and play with big brother.

She has this BIG grin that she will just flash to anyone. You smile at her first and BAM! Like a light bulb lighting up, there she is! It's impossible to have a bad day when you wake up to her smile first thing in the morning. She could be crazy tired and fussy and FINALLY pass out in my lap; even if she only sleeps for 20 minutes she STILL wakes up with a smile on her face and giggles on her lips. She is the sweetest thing on earth.

And let me just tell you how much Cadie loves her big brother. Just hearing his voice, even a whisper when he's trying to be quiet, causes her to sit up and look around for him. She can be crying and if he comes to give her a kiss or tickle her she just gives him a HUGE grin. My heart just melts when I see the way she lights up around him. And he loves her too! He loves to sit and tickle her and hand her toys. We go for a walk and as I'm getting the stoller ready he comes running up behind me, "Mom! you have to get baby sister too!!" Like I was going to forget her, lol.

I remember being SO worried about how his life was going to change when she got here, but now that I see them together I know they were meant for each other. I'll never be nervous again about adding siblings to our family, it's been so wonderful. And Victor will be 3 in just 2.5 months! I can't believe that either. He's getting so grown up.

He is just as sweet as can be, still my sensitive child. This morning he wanted to watch the garbage truck but when they came to take away our trash he got upset and yelled at them to bring it back! Poor thing, he was so upset. He loves to cuddle with mommy first thing in the morning and gives me flowers every time we go out to play. He gets REALLY upset when baby sissa cries and if she drops something he is the first one to try and get it for her. Victor loves to help, with anything, particularly cooking! You even mention the word 'eggs' and he gets really freaking excited.

I just love my babies!!
