5 Months

My sweet Lane is five months old today!  Five. Months.

I'm not going to get the couple photos I was able to grab today uploaded tonight.  Too tired.  The day started out rough, but turned out very well.  VERY thankful.

Elena is awesome.  Just awesome.  By FAR, my most adaptable kiddo.  Today was one of those days when she kept falling asleep at all the "wrong" times; 10 minutes before we got home from dropping the boys off, in the Baby Ergo at the grocery store (had to wake her to get her in the car seat), five minutes before we made it through the pick-up line to get T....and she never wakes and screams.  Just seems to pretend that was a real nap and carries on with her joyful self, smiling and cooing at anyone who looks her direction.  She's a doll.  I know this is her lot in life as #4, but I still feel bad that it seems she's never prioritized.

Any who....love you, sweet Elena Grace, more than I will ever be able to tell you.  Truly, you have changed my life for the better in unpredictable ways and given me insight into things I never would have otherwise known.  (I'll share with you one day when you're much much older.)  For now, I'm cherishing today and the very vivid memories of you gripping my heart with full-force powerful love, five months ago today.  Love, love, love you.
