Calista 5 Months

Calista is five months old!  I can't believe she is that old already.  It really does go fast.  She is a slobber monster.  Her clothes are always covered in drool.   She also started rolling over from front to back, always on accident, but she does it all the time now.  She love, love, loves toys.  If you put something in front of her she will get so excited she will start shaking.  She just wants to touch and hold it so bad.  She will be so happy if you give her a piece of paper, and as long as you are willing to pick it up for her every five seconds when she drops it, she will play with it tearing it apart, sucking on it, pulling it from her other hand over and over again for like a half an hour.  But if you don't pick it up for her when it falls man does she get upset.

Calista still really wants to be held constantly. If anything it has gotten worse this past month.  She pretty much lives in our arms or her carrier.  And she does not sleep through the night despite our best attempts.

Calista really does smile at us all the time.  Getting her to smile for the camera is quite the challenge though.  She will smile really big for me, but the moment I lift up the camera her smile vanishes.

 I love this last picture.  I'm sure she was like, "Mom, what is this poky stuff you put me on and why aren't you holding me."  Of course she started crying a second later.
