5 months

Sweet Baby Girl, at 5 months:

• you are 15 lbs 4 oz
• you are getting more and more curious about the world around you. This has made feeding you a challenge unless we’re in a quiet room. You are constantly turning your head to find out where sounds are coming from.
• you’re grasping skills are improving. You’ve recently discovered that you can put your own binky back in your mouth and always seem so proud when you get it.
• you love splashing your feet in the tub and just started sucking on the washcloth. You get quite upset at me when bath time is done and I have to take it away.
• anything you can get your hands on goes straight to your mouth. Your favorite: PAPER.
• some of your favorite toys right now are: soft plastic blocks, your hair brush, your baby doll and teddy bear
• you get giggly right before bed and you are so much fun that we hesitate to put you down for the night
• you love to twirl, swing, and dance with Mommy and Daddy
• you’re tickly under your arms and on your neck. But we rarely get a good giggle unless you’re tired

 

• you’re our rolly polly bug. You’re a champ at rolling from your stomach to back and we’ve seen you roll from your back to stomach a couple times
• new BLONDE hairs are coming in. We think you might be a blondey like your momma was as a child
• you are getting better at sitting up but get too excited or curious so you still need some help
• you are an awesome sleeper! You sleep around 8-9 hours at night. And the day after you hit 5 months you stopped waking up around 3am for me to put your binky back in. yeah!
• we have learned that anything on the table, according to you, is fair game, which has made eating-out a new experience
• you love reading books and going on walks
• you are growing up so much, Mommy now holds you on her hip so you can look around.

 

She hit her 100 picture limit

This was the first time we’d seen you roll over from your back (sort of).

Today she couldn’t decide which Binky to have. Why should a girl have to choose?!
