Five months

Every day that goes by we see more and more of your sweet and happy personality. You give huge smiles when you meet people, and even in the middle of the night when you decide you want to play instead of sleep (so you make it hard for me to be mad when I don't get much sleep). You're making different sounds and discovering new ways to make them, like using your lips or tongue, or both and making spit bubbles. Your hand coordination is getting so good, you swat and grab at toys hanging above you and reach for things when we offer them to you! I love to cuddle you and savor every one because I know eventually you'll be squirming to get away!

O: Dr Bear, you've got a little spit bubble, let me just wipe it off...
Dr Bear: (says something in bearese)
O: I am not projecting! You're not even a psychiatrist!
