Cinco

Piper is five months old. Since she doesn't see her pediatrician again until she is six months, we went to the hospital to have her weighed.  We've been calling her 'half pint' and now she truly is one.  She tipped the scales at 15 lbs, 3 oz, which is half the size of her big sis.  I am loving how easy it is to make her laugh or smile.  Those toothless grins can cure any of my insecurities.  And a good 'ol fashioned motor boat noise makes her giggle incessantly.  Her hair is coming in slowly, but she has a lot more than McKinley had at this stage. I'm continually in awe of her tiny hands and toes, especially her hands.  She has the longest and leanest little fingers.....and when they reach to grab my face, I'm smitten.  She has started showing interest in sitting up, but still doesn't have the core strength to master the skill. We're still fighting colds, so I'm on constant snot patrol, and she despises the boogie sucker & her nose drops.  She loves baths, her big sis, frozen teethers, her feet (as seen in most of the pictures below), and reaches for everything she shouldn't have.
