5 months old

Mac,
I cannot believe that you are 5 months old already! I feel like you were just born yesterday, yet, at the same time, I can't imagine our lives without you. You are the BEST baby I have ever seen...ever!!! I know that I have said this before....I knew that you would be wonderful, but I had no idea just how wonderful! It's amazing just how completely in love with you your daddy and I have become. We both love to be with you every second possible. You are amazing!! I am so thankful that God blessed our family with you, and I feel so undeserving for such a blessing. I pray daily for help from God in raising you. In only 5 months you have completely changed our world in such a wonderful way. I don't want to rush time at all, but I look forward to watching you grow up and seeing who you will become.

Let me tell you a little about what goes on in your life right now....

Every morning, you wake up around 5:15 and you begin chatting. Your daddy gets up and gets in the shower, and I begin getting your bottle ready. I begin feeding you, then we switch off when your daddy is finished with his shower. We talk to you every morning until we leave for Mrs. Cindy's. You LOVE to talk, squeal, and now spit (thanks to Paypa who taught you how to spit this past week...I love it:) We pack you up for Cindy's, then off we go. You giggle at Mrs. Cindy, Mr. Matt, Aunt Alicia and your sweet cousin, Layla every morning. I know that you know who they are now. You and Layla love to giggle at each other:) We all watch you and Layla for about 15 mins, then Alicia and I are off to work. I think about you all day, and can't wait to pick you up every afternoon. I pick you up right after school. You are usually either in Mrs. Cindy's swing sleeping, or you are in the floor playing with Layla and Krue. You ALWAYS grin at me....that makes me feel so good....like you are sooo excited to see me:) We get in the car and head home. At home, you once again get excited when you see your daddy. You and your daddy are big buddies. I love how much ya'll love each other. You like to play in the floor, in your exersaucer, or just on the couch with daddy or me. We pretty much hold you all night. I know that we should put you down, but I can't do it, and I don't think that your daddy can either. We miss you so much during the day, and we just want to soak up all of the Mac time that we can at night. You usually drink a bottle around 5 or 5:30 and you have some cereal. After that, you are either so exhausted and go right to sleep in my arms, or if you're good and rested, you are ready to play.  You drink your final bottle around 8 or 8:30, then we take you to bed. You always lay right down. You turn over on your right side and put both of your hands up to your face and fall asleep. It's the sweetest and most peaceful sight ever! You don't cry or even whimper. I think that you are so worn out that you are just thankful to finally get some sleep....I think that you get this from your daddy and me....we also like to go go go, until we just crash. You then sleep all night....just as you have been doing since you were about 2 months old:)

We love you so much Mac. Thanks for making me the most blessed and happiest mommy ever!!!

I love you always!
