she can roll from back to belly and belly to back

today was my (late) cat's birthday! is that weird? can I do this? no? yes?

YES.

I miss that little diva. What a headcase. Big ups, Athena.

Moving on, today is Nothing New. Tomorrow is More of the Same. Let's hope next week spoons up A Next Neat Something. We're at the five-month mark. So much time, so much development. What happens at five months into this experience? With something so new and young, what can I expect at five months? Let's ask a metaphor.

"For many mums and dads, the five-month mark is when you start to enjoy being a parent. It's partly down to confidence-by now, you're settling into the role and know what you're doing. But it's also due to the fact that, by five months, life with your baby is a lot of fun."

"For many Sarahs and Idiots, the five-month mark is when you start to enjoy being a Floridian. It's partly down to confidence- by now, you're settling into the role and know what you're doing. But it's also due to the fact that, by five months, life with your sunshine state is a lot of fun."

Is it? I think so. We've got visitors and nice (BUT SARAH, YOU HATE IT) weather and yes, of course I do, but it's also quite interesting and I truthfully haven't missed any of my icy windshields. That is a start! And the breezes are lovely, so too the cool sunshine of four and five pm. They're gentle. Unassuming. Of course, leave it to me to fall reluctantly into like in March, a mere two/three months before all havoc breaks loose and humidity sweeps the peninsula like a sweet, hot hell. Hang on, gravytrainers!!! This one's going underground. What then? At seven months?! If it's difficult and slow to start?

"If this is your first child things may come at a "slower" pace. Developmental milestones are different for each child.. If you are worried about your child give her more tummy time on the floor to exercise those muscles and learn how to balance herself."

"No! It's too good."
