At five months old, Keira seems poised to crawl. Everyday I wait for her to have the "lightbulb moment" when she figures out how to coordinate all the movements she has been practicing for the last few months. At this point, she can move backward in an inchworm fashion. She also likes to lift her arms and legs when she is on her tummy, then push her torso up with her arms, then lift her arms and legs into the air again like an airplane. I am not sure if she is just playing, or if she think that will move her somehow....One thing is for sure, she will be crawling any day now.
She has also starting saying "ma mam ma ma ma" and sometimes "uummmmmmm". M is her first consonant, probably because of all her aunties! I would like to think she is saying mama for me, but unfortunately she doesn't yet attach a meaning to the sounds she makes.
I feel like she is growing so much older. I am excited to see more of her personality, but sad that time seems to be going so quickly! She has started sitting in the child seat of the shopping cart at the grocery store. She looks really cute, but she also looks so mature that it makes me a little bit sad. I am sure I will laugh at myself later for thinking my 5 month old seems mature!
