5 months old

I had my 5 month birthday last week and boy am I getting to be a big girl. I am all over the place and my mommy can't keep me in 1 place. I roll over from my back to my stomach, and from my stomach to my back in both directions. I am really good about getting my legs under me to move, but I just have not mastered the arm and head part of crawling. I just keep my forehead on the ground and move around that way. Mommy keeps saying I am going to get rug burn on my head. I have been getting outside quite a bit lately in this nice weather. I don't enjoy being in my car seat in the stroller all that much however. If mommy does not strap me in, I try my hardest to scoot out. I think mommy needs to start letting me ride in the stroller like a big girl. I might enjoy it more, who knows. I went to my first parade last Friday and I was not a huge fan. I don't understand why those big red trucks have to make so much noise....and why there had to be so many of them. I got to go back to the car early with mom because it started raining. I enjoyed hanging out in the car with mom. I am not a huge fan of being on the go all day!! I like to keep my routine and when people mess with it, I tell them about it! This weekend, I felt like we were on the go the whole time. I let my mom know all about how much I liked it by crying in the car. She really hates it when she is trying to drive and I am crying. I think it is just because she feels so bad that she can't make me happy. I am still an amazing sleeper! Mommy feeds me, wraps me in my blanket, lays me down and I am asleep in less than 5 minutes. I think it makes her sad that I do not liked to be rocked to sleep. I know, however, that she does not have time to do that with my brother and me, so I try my hardest to make it easy on her. I wonder why my brother is not that way? Why can't he just go to sleep? He is like 2 right? I thought 2 year olds were big kids? Hmmm....I guess I will learn about that later in life! I went to my first birthday party this weekend too. It was fun! People always talk about how cute I am and they all want to hold me. Hey, I am ok with that!!!! I wonder when I will get to eat cake too? It sure did look good! My brother has been kind of picking on me lately and I am not too sure why. I don't really do much to him to make him want to do that. I just think he gets mad at mommy and knows that if he does something to me, it will give him attention. He really got me good the other night and it really hurt. I cried and had big tears. Mommy and daddy made him go to bed. Mommy told me that she gave me permission to beat him up when I get bigger and she said she would NOT make me go to bed early. So, I am just keeping track of each time he is mean to me, because some day kid, I WILL get even with you!!! I suppose it is about time to roll around on the floor or have a bottle or something, so I better get going.
Happy warm weather everyone!
