Lauren is 5 months old today!
She’s really coming in to her own – her head is up and alert, darting back and forth between Mommy, Daddy and, especially, Maile. Her smiles light up her whole face (especially those cheeks!) and we’re seeing that smile more and more when she recognizes us. We’re also seeing some of the same empathy that Maile has – you can bet that if Maile starts crying, Lauren’s tears are only seconds behind.
She’s comfortable now on her belly – in fact, that’s her preferred way to sleep. Speaking of sleep, she continues to show that she is more of her Daddy’s daughter in that department – many mornings I’ll wake up with her snoozing away next to me (where Mommy has deposited her while Maile and her start their day).
We can’t wait to see what comes next!
