I got closer to a smile this time! I have so much trouble taking pictures in our basement with no natural light against a black chalk board wall. So, when I play around with the settings, I miss the smiles and get a good exposure or I get a great smile with a terrible exposure. Oh well! This time she kept falling over and laughing.
Caroline Jane, at five months you:
- weigh about 18 pounds.
- drink 6oz bottles, about five times a day.
- are sleeping a little bit better! You now wake up only once or twice between 7pm and 5am. I can usually put your pacifier back in and then you go right back to sleep. After 5am though, it's harder to get you back to sleep. I think I'll give you until 6 months before I stop coming in to replace your pacifier. Get ready, girl!
- no longer have to wear your DOC band! You are so much happier without it. And so is Momma!
- are fitting best in 9 month clothes. You can still fit in some 6 month clothes but 9 month is definitely the best fit.
- are finally starting to put some weight on your legs. I know I shouldn't compare you and your brother but he was supporting his weight on his legs when he was just a few weeks old. You are just now putting any weight on your legs. I don't think you'll be hitting any physical milestones early, sweet girl.
- are not enjoying the car like you used to. If you aren't sleeping, you're crying. It makes car rides no fun.
- are liking the exersaucer. You still don't play with toys in front of you but you look at them and smile.
- blow raspberries constantly.
- have two teeth!
- have tried oatmeal cereal and you like it but still have a hard time keeping much in your mouth. You open your mouth really wide but you push most of it back out with your tongue. We'll keep practicing!
