Saffryn at 5 months

Happy 25th Birthday to me...and Happy 5 months to my little girl

I had a GREAT birthday weekend. My girlfriend Kendra came to town to visit. We spent a lot of the weekend together. What a fun treat! On Saturday Dan surprised me with a babyless date night!!! It was so fun :) He first took me to a wine bar where I had my first alcholic beverage in over a year. I chose a martini...it was called sassy pants...I have no clue what was in it. We had a little snack and just relaxed and talked. After that he took me to my favorite restaurant...Sumo. We had sushi. YUMMY!!! It was such a fun night. What a wonderful and thoughtful husband I have. Thanks Papa and Gigi for watching the sweet little girl so we could go out!!!!!!

Here is Dan and I at the Wine Bar

Moving on to Saffryn at 5 months. She is such a delight and is growin up so much! I think it is safe to say she is sleeping through the night!!! Last night she fell asleep at 8:15ish and slept until 6:30!!! YAY. I feel like a new woman with all this sleep. She is even putting herself to sleep in the crib. What a good little girl! She is also very interested in cups and food. I think we will give her cereal very soon. She watches us eat and tries to take it from us. We have let her grab our cups and she puts them right to her mouth to drink. It is so funny! I can't believe another month as flown by. I wish I could freeze time, but I know our job as parents is to prepare her for life on her own...but I just want her to stay with us forever. I know it is ridiculous to think this... she is only 5 months, but I am realizing how fast this is going and before I know it she will be leaving for college. Ok enough of that...here are some fun pictures of her at 5 months. Enjoy :)

What a big girl sitting up on her own!!!

She LOVES this toy she got fro Oma and Opa. It dances and sings!!!

Hello sweet baby girl!

Tummy time at 5 months!

Well all this to say life is good. I have a wonderful family. Thanks mom for giving birth to me 25 years ago! I LOVE YOU!
