Dearest Lucy,
Five months?! How can that be? But here we are at five months. You have a beautiful little tooth that is peeking (and peaking) out of your gums, you're rolling, scooting, and now getting up on your hands and knees, rocking back and forth, and are about ready to launch yourself into full blown crawling. You're just amazing, so ready to get going!
For some reason you are not a fan of driving in the car anymore. I'm sure it's because of the fact that you really dont like to be stationary for long. We hung the jumpy swing in the doorframe and you just love to move around. You love to watch Momma and Daddy dance around the kitchen while doing the dishes or cooking dinner. You seemed to like the disco channel on Pandora the best - ahh, just like me. But you're always listening to music. You're taking an interest in the guitars we have around, I've tried pulling out the drum to see if you'll hit it (not quite yet), and of course we always love to sing to you. Daddy tends to sing Jakob Dylan and the Lumineers, maybe some Mumford and Sons or Buddy Holly - whereas Momma just has a crazy juke box of songs in her head. Often we land on popular songs from work (stuff from the 20s, 30s, or 40s - like "Ain't she sweet" or "The Alphabet Song") but also, I make up crazy songs about what you're doing or how much I love you. I need to try to remember them or better yet record them... I can't wait until you start to sing with us! You already are very vocal, and your little voice is just too funny. Sometimes you just need to yell and hear yourself. I have to remind myself, and sometimes other people too, that you aren't necessarily upset - you're just expressing yourself.
One of my favorite past times is to watch you try to chew on... well just about anything. You love to attack our fingers, cheeks, or especially, your Daddy's eyebrows. You're just too funny. And as much as you love to explore things by chomping on them, you are just as adept at reaching out and grabbing things - if only to put them in your mouth. You have become so good at holding your bottle, or picking up a cup to drink. Your hand eye cordination is just amazing to watch develop. I know, I sound like a total crazy person, but it's just so awesome. Now, that hand eye coordination is a new concept and one that we are trying to develop for GOOD... not for pulling on my lip or riping out hair or earrings. And as for Ellie, well you are getting very curious about your puppy and you have taken to pulling on her ears or tail. She's generally OK with this, but we keep working on teaching you, "Gentle touches...gentle...gentle".
But I already know you are a gentle person - you bring so much light and love to everyone - anywhere you go. Even in the midst of you crying or fussing you manage to stop and look at someone and smile. Everyone comments on what a happy baby you are, and so many people say that they love to see you or your picture because you make THEM happy. You are the light of our lives. Lucille means 'light" and was often a name given to babies born at dawn. We didn't necessarily plan it that way, but isn't great that you were born at dawn!?! But even more perfect is that Kathleen means "pure"... you are bight pure radiant light. And in just five months you have done nothing more than filled my life, and I am sure others, with your light.
I love you love you love you sweet girl. I can't say it enough.
