Five months may be my favorite stage

I love her at this point. Five months a few days ago, sitting up.. well sort of, eating pears and bananas.. and the occasional giraffe. HAHA speaking of sitting up, she's eating a giraffe right now, and she toppled over from bum on the couch to face on the couch! I love this kid! She's content as ever and she has recently learned how to squeal! So you know thats what she's doing for no apparent reason just to pass the time! I can hear the little squeak squeak of rubber giraffe legs in her little mouth--rubbing on a nub of a tooth and her going "ah, ah, ah... ahh.." little coos of satisfaction... then silence. I looked at her the other day and had the realization that she is my daughter. I know i know, she's been here for 5 months! But, before I think it was more so "she's my baby" ... but I could have easily called her my pet goldfish... not really. I loved her TONS more than a goldfish! I guess its not a matter of love really. Its just, recognizing her as my daughter. So perfect, so pure, and my Lord she is beautiful.

She has this precious little straggle of hair on the side of her head that waves in the air. She toots and doesn't even notice. She falls over unexpectedly, she drools on herself, she is our number one fan .. and laughs at Dads dancing, she has discovered her toes.. and that her socks can come off.

I smile at her a lot... always smiling and laughing at her, with her, for her and thanking God for making someone who brings us so much joy.

This is what just happened.

I stand her up facing the back of the couch. She tries to eat it. I laugh. she looks at me and laughs, I laugh some more, she laughs some more. She eats the couch again, I laugh, she looks at me, she laughs, I laugh again, she laughs again....

gosh.. being a mother rocks...

Little Sack of Sugar :: Elizabeth Mitchell

Jiggle, jiggle, jiggle, jiggle,

Tickle, tickle, tickle, tickle,

Little sack of sugar

I could eat you up.

Jiggle, jiggle, jiggle, jiggle,

Tickle, tickle, tickle, tickle,

Little sack of sugar

I could eat you up.

Hey, hey, hey,

Little sack of sugar

Ho! Ho! Ho!

Little sack of sweet.

Hee, hee, hee,

My pretty little angel.

So pretty, pretty, pretty

I could eat your feet

Hey, hey, hey,

Little honey-bunny

Ho! Ho! Ho!

Little turtle dove.

Hee, hee, hee,

Little sack of 'taters.

So pretty, pretty, pretty

I could eat your toes

refrain

Hey, hey, hey,

My tootsie wootsie.

Rangle,tangle, dangle,

And a honey and a tree.

Ho! Ho! Ho!

My butterfly-flitters,

So pretty, pretty, pretty

I could eat your nose.

Refrain

Goo goo google

and a coo and a cuddle

Kick your foot like a bicycle pedal

Pretty little hoe down

And a one eyed frog

So pretty pretty pretty

I could gobble you whole

Jiggle, jiggle, jiggle, jiggle,

Tickle, tickle, tickle, tickle.

Little sack of sugar

I could eat you up.
