How the heck did we get here?! I cannot believe this little girl is 5 months old! The past couple of days I've been watching her sleep and keep thinking, "When did she get so big?!" This has been a fun month for her. Her daddy got her a doggy (or got himself a doggy). Chandler loves watching Barley play. She also went to an African beach for the first time. And celebrated with mommy on mommy's 26th birthday. She spent time in the village when we went out with volunteer teams and did an amazing job. She also attended her first wedding. It was different than most other wedding she'll attend since it was a Muslim wedding. For the most part she did good, but she did get a little overstimulated a few times :)
Possibly her biggest accomplishment this month is getting on a sleeping schedule. She's started taking 2 main naps a day... one in the morning and one in the afternoon. Sometimes she takes one more in the evening just depending on how busy the day was. This has been a blessing for us. Her morning naps just so happens to be during my language time! Also, all we have to do is put her on her belly in her crib and she goes to sleep! She's not quite back to sleeping through the night again yet. Some nights she gives us that pleasure and other nights not so much. She LOVES to laugh! She can sit up for about 30 seconds at a time. While on her tummy she's figuring out the crawling movement with her legs. And we had to buy a rug so she could easily roll around on our tile floor. Let me just say, she rolls all over the place. She's become obsessed with textures & her exersaucer!
She's now 25.5" long and her head is 18" around! We don't have a scale so I'll have to get her weight tomorrow at our supervisor's house :) But she's definitely grown all around.

So thankful that things are going good for all of you. Chandler is one beautiful little girl. I will be praying for the Hiland Park Group that will be coming. I am not going there any longer because we moved to the beach. I sure miss my GAs. God's love for all of you. Will continue to pray for you.
