Given the madness of going back to work and another hospital trip, this month genuinely felt like it flew by…
Suddenly she’s 5 months!
And sooooo adorable! Repeating her chair lean from the previous month, but she is definitely getting stronger and closer to being able to sit up on her own. And still trying to eat anything that is close enough to grab!
Everyone looks so excited about photos this month!! They aren’t all looking at the camera, but hey - I will take what I can get!
I asked Thomas to hold up her 5 month card for a photo and she straight up stole it out of his hand. He thought it was hysterical and I think he was a little surprised how fast she got it from him.
Then she decided to play a little peek-a-boo with the card and the camera.
I decided to put her in a normal onesie and pants outfit for the photo session and the boys were obsessed with the fact there was a cupcake on her butt. Henry insisted on holding her so I could get a photo of it and Thomas decided to jump in the photo at the last second. It was a mess of a photo, but also a bit hysterical while it was happening. Natalie wasn’t terribly impressed with Henry’s positioning…
But she was pretty content to chill in her big brother’s lap. Henry loves to hold Natalie any chance he gets, so I let him hold her once we were mostly done taking photos. I thought it was pretty funny how giant his feet looked compared to hers. He’s definitely not the baby anymore!
But we had to get a few more photos of little miss since it’s her big day! The boys wanted to get Grape Bunny and her Pinkie in the photo with her. She’s finally bigger than them! Pretty sure that those are both from the Aunts, so hopefully they like that she was pretty excited about both of her stuffed friends!
We also thought we would try one of her bigger bows, but we all decided it still looks too big on her. Though the contrasting color was nice!
I finally put her down on the floor on her pillow to get a little tummy time while I straightened the room up post photo shoot. The boys were busy playing with all of her toys that were now on the floor and she was totally entranced with watching them. This girl loves her big brothers! :)
And I love all three of these crazy, adorable kiddos. :)
