Happy half birthday sister! Today is Dad's birthday too, 33 years today. You have many years until you'll be 33 but you are growing in your own way. You have learned to sit up, obviously (see photo above) and have started crawling. For a few weeks you were just crawling in the living room but this week you've started to explore the bottom floor of the house, I was really hoping you'd wait a little bit longer. Isn't 5 months a bit early to start crawling.
As you've upped you're game so have the rest of us, hiding shoes and cords and all manner or valuable possessions-please read library books-agrh!
You are so curious about everything, the shadows on the curtains, the noises from your sister, the feel of something in your mouth. I guess 'tis the season for exploring.
You're sister is having a hard time adjusting, especially this month. Perhaps it's due in part to your new mobility and need for supervision. Nevertheless, she is struggling and taking it out on you I'm sorry to say. I hope you can bear with her. My hope is that one day you'll come to respect and even appreciate one another. That might be many years to come but for now we are doing our best to teach her to handle you with love and care.
It's not always a bad thing when the two of you nap back to back. Sure, I'd love a rest too but for you're sake, and for hers, I think it best to have some one on one time with mama every so often and even a much needed break from each other. May we cultivate a love for solitude in you!
Kisses, your introverted mama.
