5 Months In

Okay, seriously y'all... Look at that baby! 

I'm throwing it back a little to touch on a topic that came to mind when Madison was 5 months old. 

5 months is when Madison could finally sit up! She was cute before, but now she is even more cute! At this point, we are pros at taking her out in public! 

It's times like these when you start to think to yourself... "This isn't bad, I could do another!" This my friends is the stage where I can see how second babies are made!

You get sweet cuddles, smiles, jibber jabber, you see them developmentally flourish! 

You forget about the sleepless nights or nights you were standing up, but come to think of it, you may have actually been sleeping standing up! You forget about the INSANE amount of reflux and spit up!  I mean, look, they are eating their toes! How adorable! 

They develop these beautiful personalities and love to take "selfies" with you. And man, she is a professional selfie taker! They are sleeping in their crib for 4-6 hours at a time, taking regular naps! It really does make you forget! Forget the times when you had to change diapers what felt like every hour, those first few weeks when you were scared to go anywhere or do anything in public for fear that she would get hungry, have a blowout, or cry uncontrollably!  You forget the naps on the couch when as soon as you fell asleep the dogs would bark and wake the sleeping angel in the baby swing. 

You take one look at that adorable face and forget everything! Or remember some things and think "oh but it was only for like two months."  I can see how it is easy to think a second baby would be okay! 

While we weren't ready then, and aren't now, some day we will have a second little baby Goss to dote on, and I'm sure when that one reaches a certain age this phenomenon will happen again! 

God Bless!
