The month of December flew by in this house. Before we knew it, you were approaching your 5 month birthday.
We began December with a new babysitter. She is wonderful and we love taking you to visit Meme! You have adjusted well and it gives your mama much more peace to leave you in such loving and capable hands.
You continue to be a smiley happy little girl. You love to talk--lots of squeals and shrieks as you test out those vocal chords and figure out how to make different sounds. You have also started an exaggerated sigh. Particularly when you are getting ready for a nap. You will take a deep breath, then sigh. Take another deep breath, sigh. It goes on for several minutes at a time before you put yourself to sleep.

On December 9th, our families and friends stood up with us at church to celebrate your baptism and to embrace God's covenant promise for you. We look forward to teaching you about Jesus and how much He loves you. It is our hope and prayer that you will follow Him all the days of your life.
This month as also been a month of almosts. You haven't quite managed to roll over yet, but you love to roll onto your side and tilt your head back with those big bright eyes. You are also trying to figure out how to blow raspberries. You haven't quite figured that out either; instead, you just close your lips and make a "puh" sound as you make effort to get your lips to vibrate.
One highlight this month was our family trip to see the meteor shower. Even though the meteor shower didn't start until after your bedtime (and mine, too!), we decided to make it a special event. We crept into your room, scooped you out of your crib, buckled you in your car seat, and headed out to our favorite star-gazing spot, hoping you would fall back asleep on the car ride. That didn't happen, but you seemed content enough that we thought we still might be able to see a few falling stars. Unfortunately, no sooner had we arrived and set our chairs out for a midnight viewing than you decided you had had enough of being out of bed in the middle of the night. So, we caught a few falling stars through the car windshield and called it a night. It was a fun adventure nonetheless.
We finished month five with your first Christmas. You got to stay up late, play with your cousins and aunts, and open up lots of new toys that you will play with for years to come. In addition to many adorable outfits, you got your own laptop, mini-kitchen, blocks, and a special Pooh bear who has become your first sleeping companion.
We love you, Adelaide! Happy 5 Months!
