5 months!

I'm using the last minutes of nap time to try to get you caught up (she's already been sleeping for two hours so who knows how long this will last).

Baby Z:
-can sit (with help)
-can laugh (eating her toes causes her to chuckle)
-can roll (but only when she really feels like it, like once every two weeks or something)
-is experimenting with gravity (i.e. throwing all toys on the floor)
-can drool like it's nobody's business
-thinks everything should be tasted
-loves to smile
-loves to talk/sing
-loves the water & "swimming"

For her 5-month birthday, I dropped her off at daycare for a few hours in order to get some of my masters assignments done (this is probably the crappiest gift she'll ever get - oh you're older, here let's drop you off with strangers and see how you like it). I'm happy to say it went really well, she even drank from the bottle (remember the bottle story?). I also got my readings and reflections done for the week!

What else is new? We spent about a month in Mexico, during which time we went to 3 weddings, celebrated Christmas, New Year's Eve and Three Kings day. We spent time with family, in the pool and watching The Sound of Music more times than I can count. We ate SOOOOO well (and I surprisingly did not gain weight - breastfeeding WIN!). Oh we also did not get stomach sick - we got a cold for a few days, but nothing major. We saw lots of good friends.

Ok, this is probably the crappiest writing you'll ever read, but I'm saving the good stuff for the Masters, OK? OK.
