George Bear, you darling little boy. I cannot believe you are five months. A part of me is thinking, “wow! only five months?!” because I feel like I’ve known you my whole life. Another part of me is thinking, “how! five months old?!” because time really is flying so incredibly fast. I sometimes struggle with sitting in each moment with you and appreciating every single second.
I had been battling my decision on whether to get you to nap in your crib and not in my arms but lately the nursing and falling asleep on me, especially at this magical time of year, has become my favourite parts of my day. How you coo + hold so tightly onto my necklaces and play with my hands while you drift off to sweet slumber. Oh my, I often have to stifle my tears because I am oh so proud of you. You are doing incredibly well + are so happy!
George, this whole world is different and new to you, in this sweet little body. You have really grown over this last month and have become so much more aware of what you like and what you don’t. Truthfully, there isn’t much you don’t like and your sunny demeanour brightens up everyone around you. You truly lift the hearts around you + I know this will be true for your whole life. I can sense it.
You are wearing size three diapers still and fitting into clothes that are size 6 months (and a few select 3 month pieces!). You love to play with your toys + pull at them, crinkle them, and chew them. George, you are a drooling machine and I am fairly certain a few teeth will be popping out in the next few months. You haven’t been super fussy with the pain and seem to take Camilia well. You’re such a champ!
GBB, you share a bed with mommy and daddy + we love it. We all get pretty great sleep and waking up to your smiles + giggles every morning is the very best way to start our days. There is nothing sweeter than you waking up in time to tell daddy to have a great day at work ;)
We have been decorating the house for Christmas + you met with Santa and did incredible. I am so proud of you and adore that you love Santa as much as your mommy. Holidays are going to be the very best with you in our lives!
George Bear, we love you so.
You, my little bear cub, love: nursing + cuddles with mommy, bath time with daddy, your bestie Dougie and all your crinkly + squeaky toys, trying to pet Charles the cat, when your Uncle Jake visits, blowing spit bubbles, giggling, chatting, and chewing everything in sight. You are obsessed with your jolly jumper and you get some serious air, dude. You love smiling and staring at your daddy, being worn in the Ergo, kisses, and mommy’s singing.
You, my sweet bubba, do not love: being in the car seat when you are tired or hungry but you have been getting so much better with riding solo in the backseat! You’re not a fan of waiting for food or being overtired.
These have been the best five months of my life + it just keeps getting better and better. You are the coolest little dude, ever. Keep up the awesome my dudenstein!
We love you GBB!
