Carly {5 months}

Little Sweet Pea is 5 months! Carly is so happy and smiley, almost all the time. She smiles at everyone. Wakes up smiling and goes to bed smiling. She is getting so strong. She tries to sit up in her swing now, and in this chair while I was taking her pictutes. She rolled from back to tummy this morning for the first time. I have a feeling she will be on the move in a month or so.

I love all her different faces in these pictures. She is such a character. She reminds me so much of Alyssa at this age, minus the fussiness. But their facial expressions are so similiar.

Carly is a champ at napping. She takes an hour nap in the morning, a 2-2.5 hr nap in the afternoon and a 30-45 min nap in the evening. She goes to bed great at 8pm, and then she is not a great sleeper after that :( She wakes up at least twice and last night was wide awake and smiling at 4:30am, ugh. She did go back to sleep, but cried a bit at 5:30 and was up at 7am. Maybe she is sleeping too much during the day? I don't think she would be very happy during the day with less sleep, but a little crankiness might be worth a little more sleep at night. Oh well, this too shall pass.

We love you baby girl!!
