5 Months!!!

Maya turned 5 months last Wednesday, which for some reason seems SO much older than 4 months.  I think she's about 13 lbs now.   She can hold herself up in the sitting position for quite a long time these days and is becoming very mobile.  Not yet crawling (I am not ready for that yet!), but can scoot around and rotate herself to get whatever toy she is after.  We can tell she recognizes Mom and Dad and she gets very excited when she sees us.  She even reached over to give me a hug tonight, which just melted my heart.

We have been so lucky to have been blessed with a good sleeper.  She rarely cries when she wakes up and instead plays and talks to herself until we get her.  Rey and I battle over who gets to be the one to get her out of her crib because we are always met with a huge smile... something like this (although usually even bigger, I just couldn't capture it on camera).
