There's no way it's been 5 months already!! Wow...Where does the time go? Seriously, this precious angel of mine is growing by the second and I can't keep up! Maybe I should stop feeding her, so she stops growing? No, I guess that wouldn't work... {sigh} I'll just have to deal with her getting bigger. :)
Well, this month we weigh in at 26 1/4 inches and 24.4 pounds! I told you! Growing like crazy!
She is trying her hardest to roll over from her back to her belly. She gets all the way over on her side and just can't figure out how to pull out that bottom arm yet. There are times where she will figure it out accidentally but not often. Her most common trick is the 180..You put her on her playmat, turn your back, count to 3, turn back around, and somehow she has turned half way around..Wiggle Worm! :)
The first 3 months of life this little angel didn't want a thing to do with being on her belly, but this month she is embracing it! She wants to be on the move oh so bad! I really don't think she will crawl all that much. I think the second she realizes how to work those legs and lift herself up she will be off and running! She is very strong already, she spends so much time in her Johnny Jumper that she thinks she can walk! Sometimes when I am a few feet away and playing with her she gets all excited and pulls at the jumper just trying so hard to move it closer to me. :) It's too cute!
Sleep is also her friend this month, and boy does it scare Daddy and I at times! On December 13th, Lily slept for 8 hours straight at night from 8:00-4:30am. We are used to her waking up at least once around 12-1 for a feeding or even just comfort. Daddy was the first to wake and with a startle he jumped out of bed to check on her, for sure something was wrong! Puzzled, he walked back to bed confused at how she was still sleeping! LOL For about a month now, even though she has been sleeping in her crib she has had a pretty solid schedule of the following:
5:00 Nap
6:00 Dinner (Solids & Nursing)
Bath & Playtime
7:30 Bedtime
8:30 Wake up {not fully, just wanting to be soothed back to sleep}
12:30-1 Wake-Soothed to sleep
3-4:00 Wake for feeding then sleep until 6:00
Her new schedule now that the solids are fully incorporated as a nighttime meal and she is more comfortable with her room...
8:00 Bedtime
sometimes 1-2 wake and sooth back to sleep
4:30 Feeding and back to sleep
6:00 Wake up on school days 8:00-8:30 on weekends
Happy as can be! :)
She just can't contain her joy and I love every second of it! :)
I could stare at her for hours...
Toes!! What?! Where have you been all my {5 whole months of} life!?
Priceless
She was determined to get them in her mouth!!
