Elisabeth 5 months and counting!

My sister Shannon reminded me that I haven't blogged in FOREVER!  Blogging is hard work! As of July 10th, Elisabeth is officially 5 months!  My baby is getting so big.  She loves to "talk" and does it at the top of her lungs.  Somedays she just wakes up talking, and other days she wakes up squealing.  You can tell the difference between her happy squeal and her angry squeal.  We usually only hear the angry talk after the dreaded tummy time or if it's time for her nap.  She loves to "grrrr" at people and blow spit bubbles.

She recently let out the cutest belly laugh, however, Andre and I have not been able to get her to give us a good deep laugh. Elisabeth loves to touch now.  She loves to grab her daddy's glasses and her momma's hair.  One of the most precious times that I spend with her is when she is facing me and stroking my face.  Then she gives me a big, slobbery kiss of the mouth!  I love those times with her.

My baby also loves to sit up now!  In fact, she uses those little ab muscles to jump right back up if anyone tries to make her lean back.  She loves to sit up and play with her cousin affectionately known as Ladybug.  Ladybug is doing a wonderful job showing Elisabeth (aka Cuddle Bug) how to be a big girl!

Look how much she has grown!!
