5 months

On Thursday, Natalie turned 5 months!

Her fourth month brought a lot of changes.

She’s doing this now…

Whaaaat???

That’s what I said.

She’s smashed Owen’s record of pre-crawling and sitting at 5 1/2 months, and has taken the gold with the family record of 4 1/2 months!

Then, during this very photoshoot, she surprised me again.

She pushed herself into a sitting position on her own! I can’t remember the boys doing this until they were full on crawling.

First, it was against the couch and later it was to a free standing sitting position. She’s still wobbly but getting steadier everyday.

Oh boy….sigh.
We’ve got trouble on our hands.

Cute trouble. 🙂

She’s taken the gold in sitting, but can she in walking? Reid was slow to get moving, but once he did he was walking at 9 months. We’ll see if she can sweep the all around.

It’s going to be a nail biter.

How can I resist the Olympic references with this little gymnast around? (My favorite event to watch)

Oh and when this girl isn’t busy sitting or army crawling backward, she’s skydiving in her free time.

🙂

That or making her brothers laugh.

She spits and squawks at the most inappropriate times.

And her brothers think she is the funniest thing since AFV.

She also grabs at everything! She tried grabbing at my phone and knocked it out of my hands! The screen cracked with a case and a zagg shield on it.

Don’t let this cute little face fool you.

She’s tough.

Just look at her guns. (and her adorable double chin.)

She’s also our little lady…

Still happy, but quite demanding as of late.

It might have to do with another new change.

Her first cold.

Aw man. I guess it was bound to happen some time. I just pray she doesn’t cry all night tonight like she did last night.

I’m also hoping she waits a bit before she starts getting teeth.

You’ve got to stay little in at least one way baby.

    Aww, she is so adorable! And quite the tiny athlete… my youngest started pre-crawling at 5 1/2 months, but didn't actually crawl until 7 1/2 months. In fact, she could pull herself to standing before she could crawl. =)

    Fantastic photos! Your girl is a cutie. I have just spent a few hours reading your photography series…I'm really curious what settings your camera was at when taking these photos & if you used a reflector? AND how much editing you did? So many questions! I have a T2i and I'm so darn curious;) Thanks for the photo series – I've learned so much!:)

    So precious! They say little girls are faster learners than boys. I've got a 7 yr old girl who has beat her 14 yr old brother in everything. Little girls make their mamas heart melt!

    xo,

    It is crazy how much she can do. My little man was born just a couple weeks after her and he is no where near that mobile.

    What a strong beautiful girlie.

    She is SUCH a doll! And I can't believe how big she is already!
    I think racing to the finish on milestones must be a girl thing. I have a video of Olivia crawling at four months something weeks, so before she was 5 months she was all-out crawling, and she was full on walking at 7 months. It just does not look right for them to walk at that age, lol! I've been told its a gender thing
