Letters to Candor: 5 months

My dear Candor Sage,

Your siblings reminded me that you're 5 months! You are 12 lbs and 25" long, wearing size 2 diapers and 3-6 month clothing and size 0 moccs. You growl and coo like a baby bear. You roll to the side right away in surprise when put down for tummy time. You are happiest to see your mama, exhibiting the widest gummy grins and happiest kicking little feet. You erupt into big, squeaky laughs when I snuggle your neck. When I leave the room, you cry. You began sucking on your right thumb in the middle of August and grabbing your feet a little after that. You're basically the sweetest baby, smiling at all who pay attention to you. You love hanging out in your bouncer in the company of your siblings and staring at others from the comfort of the sling. You went through the 4 month sleep regression, which was a blur. Time with you is a ephemeral gift. Life has been a whirlwind, especially with wedding season. I hope as I look back, I can say with joy that I've been present in all the moments with you, my littlest babe.

Love you so,

Mommy
