happy 5th month audrey!

Yesterday we celebrated our daughter's 5th month with a small handaan. We've been marking her "monthsaries" since her first month. Before I became a mother, I had this belief that celebrating monthsaries for a baby was a little too much. Motherhood does indeed change you in more ways than one.  I've come to the conclusion that baby celebrations are really for the parents, not for the kid. So it doesn't matter that our daughter won't remember her 5th monthsary cake, because we will (and it was delicious!). And in this age of cameraphones, Audrey will be able to see just how much we loved having her every month.

Cake is always good

Her parties are nothing fancy, though, and we celebrate it with the people in our household. Last night we had spaghetti, barbecue, chicken, and crispy pata. We served spaghetti to everyone in our building for merienda in the afternoon.

Can't have a picture without Papa!

I can't believe it's been five months since we welcomed Audrey to our family. That means I haven't had a decent night's sleep in five months, but I wouldn't trade our little ball of cuteness and love for all the sleep in the world.

Praying you'll always be a happy baby

Happy 5th month my darling! Mama and Papa love you so much!
