Our [not-so-little] little Phoebe girl is five months old!
Phoebe is:
... officially a piranha. In the last couple weeks, she popped out two teeth! And hence, loves putting anything and everything in her little mouth. She's not very slobbery, and was really only cranky for a day or two... So I was super surprised when one morning there were two sharp little bottom teeth poking through. Even while teething, this girl is magic and a dream.
... finding her voice. She l.o.v.e.s. to talk. She chatters all the live long day -- cooing, gurgling, squeaking and yelling! Ha. She loves chatting with me first thing in the morning, and will continue our conversation many times throughout the day. It's fun to hear her find new sounds and try to mimic what some of her sisters try to say to her.
... a spinner. She doesn't love rolling quite yet, and will get stuck, but she will somehow spin around in circles on her back. It's pretty impressive. She also loves to be sitting up or jumping and standing with help. She wants to see what's going on and doesn't like being left out.
... not a fan of bottles or pacifiers -- which has been so different from my other girls who loved them. She will swirl a pacifier or bottle nipple in her mouth for a few seconds, but spits it out every. single. time. It's so funny. I've tried all sorts of things to try and trick her into it, but to no avail. And you'd think she'd at least like a bottle where she gets something out of it, but alas.
... laughing so much! Though the second I bring out a camera or phone, she stops. She doesn't want me to capture it. But it's the most delightful sound and I can't get enough of it. She is so ticklish - you almost don't even have to touch her for her to start squirming and giggling. It's the best.
Our house is full of little girl chatter constantly.
And my heart is full of love for these girls!
