Izzy is now 5 months old and starting to have quite the personality. She is usually on the verge of laughing and crying at the same time and is still very much a mommy's girl. It is kind of funny to watch her turn from tears to hysterically laughing in a matter of seconds. She is sitting up with some support, babbling, chewing EVERYTHING and drooling like crazy. She is almost 15lbs and started eating oatmeal. She is kind of torn whether she likes it or not. I am hoping she will do better with baby food...fruits and veggies :-)
Last week she got sick for the first time. It started as a cough and turned out to be bronchiolitis and an ear infection :-( After about 3 days of breathing treatments and antibiotics she was back to herself. There were about 4 days that I got maybe 3 hours of sleep and still managed to get to work to teach all day...rough.
Things are crazy and we have a system that is working but I am seriously lacking fun time. I am always working, preparing, cleaning...etc and wish I could just pay someone to do all that and just play with my kids. I try to be the best teacher, wife, mommy but doing all of it is really hard. I am so excited that summer is on the way! I can't wait to squeeze this little baby's thighs and tickle her and kiss her fat cheeks all day!
