Five Months Old!

My baby girl is 5 months old...yesterday! It's so hard for me to believe. She is constantly growing, changing and doing so many new things. It's almost impossible to keep her on her back when she's awake and lying on the floor now. I put her down on a quilt to play (on her back) and she's flipped to her tummy before I know it. I remember when she was tiny, she hated to be on her tummy! She loves to squeal and babble now, and makes the funniest little motorboat sound with her lips. She also constantly moves her hands, fingers, arms, legs, feet and toes. She's rarely ever still for very long. Her newest fascination is my mouth/chin/cheeks. When I'm holding her close to me, she likes to reach out and grab ahold of my face. I really don't mind so much, as long as her nails have been trimmed.
I have loved each "phase" that she's gone through so far. I read somewhere once that the key to enjoying your children is to really appreciate each new phase. I think I do that, and I'm looking forward to all of the new things she'll be doing soon.
