5 months old!

Madison is 5 months old, and just as cute and chunky as ever! She has rolled over a few times now, but doesn't seem to care too much about it. We've started rice cereal and she's not a huge fan, but is getting pretty good at actually eating some of it, instead of spitting it all out. After going 2 months straight without a single night of waking up between 9 and 6, she began waking up 1-2 times a night the day she hit 4 months. She is still a great sleeper and I shouldn't complain about her getting up once in the night since she sleeps from about 8 until 7, but it was hard to go back to being up at 3 am after being so spoiled for a couple of months! She sits up pretty good...not good enough to be left alone in the middle of the floor yet, but she can stay up for quite a while most of the time. She loves chewing on her fingers! She has discovered her feet recently and loves to play with them. She absolutely loves her big sisters and I love that they entertain her so well-its such a big help! In the last few weeks, Madison has become quite the chatterbox! I remember the other girls making noises, but never this much...she will "talk" for 10 minutes straight and she has the funniest facial expressions while she is doing it! (Bubba took a video of it on his phone, so when he is around I'll have to try to get it on this computer). I am so in love with this sweet baby and am sad she is growing up so fast!

I think the other 2 girls had dimples for the first few weeks of their lives, but they quickly disappeared. Madison is now 5 months old and still has the cutest dimples ever - I'm trying not to get too attached in case they disappear, but I'm hoping she gets to keep them!

I would love to see the video! She is so cute! She looks so much like her sisters! She kind of has her own look too though! I can't wait to see her. When do you head home?
