Dear Adler,

Today is your 5 month birthday. I know, we have been slacking on the blog scene. Trying hard to keep up with everything that is going on in our lives right now.

You are growing so fast. The last time that we went to the doctor, you were 26inches long and weighed close to 16 lbs. You were in the 98th percentile for your height and 85th for weight. You still are tall and lean. You are the best baby that we could ever ask for. When it is time for bed, we lay you in your crib and you go to sleep. You now require 3 naps a day and by naps I mean that you sleep for 2 hr stretches per nap. It is absolutely amazing the way that you have changed our lives.

You now smile, laugh, talk to us, and roll. In the past few weeks you have gotten really good at rolling from your stomach to your back. In the mornings when we go to get you, you are usually talking and smiling at us. This makes for a wonderful start to the day. This very morning when I woke up, you were already awake rubbing on your puppy, Cagney. She loves you. Even when she growls at you for pulling her hair, she adores you.

Yesterday was the first Mother’s Day that we all spent with you here. It was a wonderful day. We went to church, and had lunch with your Nani. She is so crazy about you. She cried when we gave her the card from you. We ate lunch, and then came home for a lazy afternoon of studying and napping. We could not have asked for a better day.

We recently decided to sell our house, we found one in the school district that we would like to be in for your future, so we decided that the time was now while you are still little to get in our home that could be the forever one. We hope that we always make the right decisions for you. We love you and our lives now revolve around you and making the best decisions possible for your future.

Hugs and Kisses, Big Girl!

Mommy and Mata
