5 Months

MaKenna you are 5 months old today and Mommy cannot believe it. At 5 months old you way 15 lbs. unofficially and I haven't measured you to see how long you are I guess we will have to find that out at the Doctor next month. You Are still wearing mostly size 3 months. and some 6 months. Still in size 1 diapers although I think when we finish up this pack we will probably move to a size 2.
 You started eating solids this month!! So far you have had Bananas, pears, apples, prunes, carrots, sweet potatoes, yellow squash and field peas. The only thing you haven't liked so far is peas. Oh and on the cereal side We tried oatmeal and barley homemade. You were not fond of either one at first. Then I learned how to cook the oatmeal, you can't multitask you must stir it and cook it on low you can't rush it. Now you like oatmeal we haven't tried barley again yet.
  You usually sleep until about 7:30 or 8 when you are hungry you have a fruit. Then the next time you are hungry  which is usually aroung 1030 you have a 5oz bottle or nurse if you are with me. Then we hope that you go down for a nap although you are not a good nap taker. The next time you are hungry you have your vegetable which is usually around 2 or 3. Next you have a bottle and then around 7 we have your cereal and a little fruit and we read Daddy's book and head for bed. You very  good about going to bed at night usually you are out by 8:00 You still don't let mommy sleep all night we usually get up around 4 for a night time snack.
  You are getting a lot better sitting up with support. I don't think it will be long before you will be sitting up and crawling. I can't keep you on a blanket anymore you roll/scoot everywhere and super fast.
  You are still the sweetest little girl ever!! Very easy going go with the flow. But you are a little busy body, you are always doing something. THis month Mommy has had to get used to keeping you little hands under control, you want to touch an feel everything even germ infested buggies, tables, and menus.
