I have stopped myself many times wondering why I haven't been keeping a record or journal of Matilda's progress. This journey is so important to all of us and I want her to be able to look back and be able to read about her milestones and all the good times (and bad) that are coming our way. I figured the best way to do this is to create a blog. She already stares at the computer screen when I check my email and Facebook accounts...she will be using a laptop before we know it. It can't get lost or chewed up by Bob...it is virtually permanent.
Matilda is 5 months old today and I can't believe how fast it has all gone. She smiles constantly, rolls from her stomach to her back, chews on her hands constantly and even manages to suck on her thumb occasionally. She has started to notice Bob, Fishstick and Wilf and wants to pet them all the time. Actually it is more of a grabbing at fur with her death grip. So they don't get startled, I take her hand in mine and we pet the animals together. I say "gentle, gentle" so she begins to understand they aren't for poking.
In the past few days she has found her feet and has begun to stuff her toes in her mouth. She also moved into her big bed last night. Her bassinet had gotten too small. It makes me sad, but she is still in our room as her cousins are visiting in a few days and Hebe will be using her room. I get to have her close for a few more weeks!
She also went on her first swing ride last week. I thought she might be too small, but she loved it. Can't wait to take her back to the park!
