5 months

Just for fun...Here is Marissa at 5 months

Here is Nathaniel toward the end of his fourth month

Yes, my sweet baby girl is 5 months old now, and more and more fun each day.  She is becoming more interactive, reaching for toys, pushing up, holding her own bottle, sitting alone for extended periods of time, moving things from one hand to the other, squealing in delight, maintaining good eye contact, and blowing spit bubbles constantly.

I cannot even begin to tell you how much I cherish this phase of life (although a little more sleep would be nice).  Nate loves his sister and interacts sweetly with her (we will see how much that changes when she is mobile and can take his toys!).  I am blessed beyond measure with these two!
