Our girl is 5 months old today! Today is also my last day of maternity leave, so it's a big day in our household. I am so thankful to have been able to spend so much time with Drew and can't even think about what comes next... So onto the good stuff!
Stats:
Weight: ~14 pounds
Diapers: size 2, all snaps down on cloth {although I have been very lazy this month with cloth!}
Clothing size: 3 to 6 months in everything, some still big on her!
- Rolling to sleep on her tummy! Weirdly, the first time she did this was in a pack 'n play for a nap - which is when Trent did it first!
- Naps!! Score one for the parents! We did a little bit of cry it out (but I am a wimp about it so it wasn't full on) and finally mastered her falling asleep on her own and sleeping past 1 sleep cycle. I still can't stop glowing about this.
- On average, taking 3 naps/day
- Wakes about once a night, some nights (like Friday) are a lot more!
- Everything goes in the mouth
- Doesn't like to recline much anymore so we've graduated to being in the stroller without the car seat and the duck tub!
- No teeth...Brother got his first tooth at 4.5 months so curious when hers will pop through. I'm buying an amber teething necklace to see what that does for us...
- Enjoying the jumper and jumperoo a lot!
- Much better at grabbing things...and then they go in the mouth!
- All of the sudden she has stretched out her nursing times. She now consistently goes 3 hours between sessions, so she's nursing about 6 times/day. This sudden change resulted in a couple of clogged ducts for me. Ouch!
- Loves her feet. She's gotten her toes in her mouth twice, but I haven't been fast enough with the camera. Boo.
- Really interested in food, watches me eat very intently. Next month, sweet girl!
- Sucks on her bottom lip, it is precious.
- When she nurses on my left side, she holds her left ear {her floppy one}, so cute!
- Very serious, not much of a talker, tough to get her to laugh but Mama and Daddy have figured out a few tricks!
- LOVES to watch Trent
- As soon as you put her on her back on the floor, she flips! Makes tummy time super easy!
Our little lady is such a joy. She is so different than Trent was as a baby, so I really can't wait to see what the future brings for her and for us as a family. We are so blessed to be her parents!
It is definitely getting more challenging to pose her. {grin}

Love this post... so many great pics! You'll do great tomorrow!
She is such a doll! I hope you get some rest tonight and have as good of a day as you can tomorrow, I know that is easier said than done.
So cute! That pic of her napping with her feet crossed is PRECIOUS! Hope your first day back goes well.
Such a doll! I've used the amber teething necklace for infants for a while now and it has worked wonders for my son!
Oh she is so precious!!!! I love this post! :) Happy 5 months Drew!!
