Diana 5 Months

It is hard to believe that Diana is already 5 months old! She is a very happy baby and such a joy to be around. She brings a smile to my face and I LOVE how much Jonathan loves her too. Of course we have our moments in the Weeks' household but I am truly trying to focus on the miracle of my children and so happy to be able to be with them every day! Yes, it is official, I gave my notice to PwC and will now be a stay-at-home mom. I really think it is the best decision for the whole family and hope that we can swing it financially and that I develop patience (been praying every night for it).

Diana is growing like a weed. People are shocked when they see how big she has gotten. We don't have a doctors appt this month but I think she has put on a couple of pounds. She has inherited one of my personality traits and I am still trying to figure out if it is a good thing. When she is tired, she is tired and she wants to be left alone. No more rocking this girl! Literally she will fight sleep and squirm if you try and "soothe" her to sleep. She would much prefer her pacifier and her bed. Her sleep pattern is starting to develop...usually wakes up around 7:30 am (sometimes I have to wake her up at 8 to get Jonathan off to school), morning nap at 9 for at least an hour and then afternoon nap around 12:30 for almost 2 hours and then a third nap around 3:30/4 and then down for bed at 6 pm. She is still getting up in the middle of the night, usually around 1 am and then 5 am. Last night she woke up at midnight, I went in, gave the pacifier to her and she slept until 5 am. Fingers crossed we can get down to waking up at 5 am and drop the midnight waking. We don't have any teeth yet but we are drooling like crazy and starting to put everything in our mouth. She is getting better about spreading her fingers and chewing on her fingers instead of her whole fist. She isn't rolling over yet but we are getting closer, still think it will be a couple months though.
