The Laughing 5-Month Old

Addison turned 5 months old today! I am AMAZED at what a different baby she is now compared to just 2 months ago. I honestly feel pretty sad about her colic stage. Not just the obvious reason of it being such a trying time. But more because I feel like we were robbed of that time with her. There was so much crying, etc., that there wasn't time to really cuddle and enjoy her. Time we'll never get back.
But we're so thankful that it's in the past, and happy times are here! In the past week, she's started belly laughing, which is SO FUN!!! (: Oh, and she looks more and more like Nathan. You can really see the resemblance when Nathan is holding her!


The 5 month Green Chair Picture... she's, of course, smiling at her brother.


Best Buddies... it looks like Dylan must be telling her a secret joke here.


Although she's dressed in a sweatsuit, the tummy hanging out indicates that very little exercising is going on. (:
She is sitting up better in her Bumpo chair. Hard to believe that it won't be long before she's sitting on her own.


We finally got some footage of her laughing... again at Dylan. I think Dylan is catching on to us always "using" him to get a laugh out of Addison. Sometimes he plays it up and other times he refuses. (: If only we were as funny as he apparently is!

I'm glad the colic is in the past too. I was a colic baby and my parents still talk about their trials to this day. See, it doesn't mean she'll be a high maintenance girl at all!

Glad you're all able to laugh with her now.
