Annalee Estelle | Five Months


Dear Annalee,

What a fun month it's been. Every day you are growing so much and developing quite the personality. You are full of laughter and you smile with your hole face - just like your daddy. You are the light of our life. Every morning you wake up and love to play in your bed, giving us the biggest smile when we come to get you. You are still working on tummy-time, but haven't rolled over yet.  You are pretty good at moving around on your back though and finally found your feet. You have discovered the sun roof in the car and love looking out at the colorful leaves. You still love walks and runs, lounging in your Boppy, sleeping on your back in a half swaddle {with footie pi's only}, and hanging out in your frog seat. Your first trip to the pumpkin patch was so much fun and we are loving celebrating one of our favorite seasons with you!

  • We have loved enjoying the fall season with you, watching you gaze at the colorful trees and soak up the cool nights. 
  • You are an amazing sleeper - sleeping 10 hours at night and napping a couple times during the day. 
  • You are laughing so much and talking up a storm!
  • We are a constant droller, because you love to laugh, smile, and talk all day. 
  • You have started holding your bottle... sort of.

  1. She is perfect!

    Tell me more about that frog seat. We were going to get one but wasn't sure if I'd use it with having the mommaroo too. What are your thoughts?

    1. We love it! She still likes the mommaroo, but the frog seat lets her sit up, which she is starting to prefer. It also has has a couple toys she can get her hands (or mouth) on, which helps entertain her.
