As always, these posts come so quickly! It seems as though I was just writing the last post. Blythe is now 5 Months old!!!


Here's what we've been up to this month...

• Blythe attended her first wedding and got to see Daddy perform his first wedding.
  
• That weekend she got to meet lots of people that love her dearly, including Currey's mom and 3 sets of her great grand parents. She was loved on like crazy!
  
• She also got to attend her first staff retreat. Again, Blythe received lots of extra love that week. We are so blessed by our church family especially the other staff members that we serve with. Staff retreat is always a highlight of our summer and we loved that Blythe got to be a part of that this year.
• We stay at Papa John's lake house for retreat. While we were there Blythe got to go on her first and second boat rides. She was having a hard time sleeping so we took her out on the pontoon. It rocked her right to sleep. Later in the week she got to go on another boat ride for a sun set cruise. We got a precious picture of her with her daddy!
  
• During staff retreat she began sleeping on belly exclusively. This made us very nervous initially but after staying up with her for over an hour flipping her back over we decided she could sleep on her belly. :)
  
• She can roll over from her belly to back now, although she rarely does that. She now enjoys her tummy time and spends most of her day looking at the world around her.
• Blythe got to meet Marge and Bob. This was SUCH a treat for Currey and I as we just adore the Schroeders. We enjoyed introducing them to Blythe and it's safe to say that they are in love! I think the feeling is mutual.
  
• We had some issues with feeding but were introduced to a wonderful nurse named Sue. She was truly a life saver and now we are back on track. At our second appointment with Sue, Blythe weighed in at 14 pounds and 8 oz. She is such a great eater!
• Blythe attended her first White Sox game with the youth group. She even wore her White Sox onesie. She looked adorable!

Blythe,
You still bring us more joy than we could have ever imagined. It is so fun to watch you grow and learn. You are so alert. We spend lots of time wondering about what you are thinking about. You are absolutley amazed by the world around you! You continue to smile continuously and love people. You go to everyone with ease and just eat up all the attention. You are a precious little girl and we are blessed to have you as a part of our family!
