Wren's 5 months!

Wren is 5 months old now!  I can't believe how quickly the time is passing.  Yesterday, she woke up looking as if she had grown a few inches!  It was clear to me when I went to put her into her car seat and realized the straps were now BEHIND her shoulders!  I had to take the straps all the way out and insert them into the higher hole that we now IN LINE with her shoulders!  It is truly amazing how fast this little girl is growing!

Last night, Wren slept HORRIBLY!  Not sure if it was because of the storm, but she managed to show me every hour of the night!  Yippie! :/  One of the problems she is having is that she wants to roll onto her tummy as soon as she is put on her back.  I have a hard time with the thought of her sleeping on her tummy, but she is leaving me with no choice.... unless I want to hold her in my arms all night.  I read that it is okay as long as they are able to roll and keep their necks held up away from the mattress.  So, tonight, I let her roll over, and she is still sound asleep.  I'm keeping my eye on the video monitor... watching her back go up and down! :)

Wren is a cool girl!  She is always so happy; smiling whenever she locks eyes with you!  She LOVES to watch her brother play.  I recently found some activities that they can do together!  Jude loves bubbles!  I found a container of bubbles that you squeeze and the wand comes up, ready for you to blow... so it's a one handed operation, which allows me to hold Wren at the same time!  I blow bubbles and Jude gets so excited saying, "bu bu!" which makes Wren giggle and smile!  Jude then gets a little proud grin on his face, knowing he is making Wren happy! :D

Also, tonight, I found that Jude gets a kick out of me hiding behind the curtain with Wren, then saying "Where's Wren?!" and popping her head out for him to see!  Haha!  She was really loving it, too!!  I have so much fun watching my babies learn and play together! :D

Here are some recent pictures of our happy girl!

Standing proud!

Wren is such a wonderful baby!  From the start, I thought she was going to be trouble... from the constant kicks in the womb, the wide awake eyes in the hospital, and the immediate attachment to Mommy, but I must say.... she has turned out to be quite a content baby girl!  (At least, for the time being.)  Noah's mom, Cindy, whom I babysit for, made a comment yesterday about how chill Wren always is.  And then I thought... you know, you are right!!  I'm hoping I got lucky once again, with a mellow and sweet little baby!  And little is an understatement when it comes to Wren... she is TINY!!  Even though she looks like me.... I was 3 pounds heavier when I was her age!  I sometimes wonder if she will be short like me... or tall like her Daddy. 

She isn't yet moving on her own (besides rolling over), but she loves to be on her feet as I've mentioned before.  Now, she can stand holding on to the back of the couch all on her own!!

Gotta love the bald spot from her rubbing her head back and forth in her sleep! :/
