Mazie at 5 months

These pics were taken a little before she was 5 months (about a week earlier) but I am running out of time and soon she will be 6 months, so I just decided to go with it.

Mazie is all smiles these days. If you are close to her face and smiling she always answers back with a big smile and wriggles her little body in excitement.

The most exciting thing is that she now rolls over. She rolls all the time from her back to her stomach, but I have only seen her roll from her stomach to her back like once. So she often gets stuck on her stomach and then starts to cry. She also spits up all over because she is pushing on her full little tummy. It is a little frustrating but I remember Liberty doing the same thing. This is my favorite stage though because they are so responsive but not too mobile that they are getting into everything. I will enjoy it while it lasts.

She is also drooling a lot. She has found her hands and loves to suck on them. She now will take a binky, but only try to give it to her to fall asleep. And I am even hesitant about that since Eliza never took one and Libby did and she now sucks her thumb. Hmm what to do?

This is another of my favorite things she does. She will suck on her tongue. It always looks like she had something in her mouth and in fact made Rob and my mom nervous on two seperate occasions.
She sure brings me happiness. I am so glad that I have to take time out to feed her. During a busy day it makes me sit down and enjoy her. It seems so busy right now that otherwise I'm not sure I would make time just to sit and hold her and rock her. Her smile always makes me happy and when the other two are testing my patience, she always makes me feel better. I'm sure her turn will come too but I am enjoying this stage quite a bit right now. What a blessing you are in our family Mazie.
