Growing so fast

I am so amazed at how fast my baby girl is growing.  She loves standing, with a little help of course.  Constantly trying to reach and grab for things.  When I go to get her out of her crib she looks and me and gives me the biggest grin.  Melts my heart every time.  I can't believe how in love with this girl I am.  


I am also so happy I chose the daycare that I did.  She smiles all the time when I drop her off and I hear stories of how happy she is when she is there.  She loves hanging with the girls like she is one of them, not a 5 month old baby.  She squeals with excitement when the kids run past her, like its the most exciting thing in the world.  The girls there love when she wears dresses so I like to put her in them.  Apparently she is turning into a monkey now too because she likes to try to use her feet to hold her bottle as well.  I got a text from the daycare lady yesterday that said, "Abby is awesome!!! Thank you so much for letting me take care of her.  Can't help lovin this little sweetheart.  We just had one on one time.  Such an awesome smile!!!  Her mood is contagious!"  Well if that just doesn't warm a mama's heart.  

My little Peanut will be 5 months next week.  Where has this time gone?  How is my baby already almost 5 months?  Its been over a year since I found out I was pregnant with my little peanut and I have no idea what life was like before her.  I can't remember what it felt like to wake up feeling fully refreshed from a full nights sleep.  I can't imagine waking up in the morning and not seeing that smile looking at me making everything all better.  


My skinny little girl is still mostly hanging out in her 0-3 month clothes.  She has switched over in a few things, and I will put her in some that are too big because her dresses are just too darn cute not to wear.  I'm guessing that girls length is coming from her legs because her pants may be too short but she can still fit into her 0-3 month onesies.  Who knew I would be so wrong in figuring out her clothes.  Not wanting to buy newborn because I didn't think she would wear them that long, I think she was in them for over a month.  Now she is still in 0-3 month and it is half way through summer already. 

Peanut is my greatest gift from God and I can't thank him enough for letting me be her mama.  She is the most amazing baby a mama could ask for.
