5 months old!

Allie is 5 months old today. I can't believe how quickly time is passing and how much my life has been enriched. Allie is a pure joy. She rarely cries and smiles constantly; and she receives lots of comments about what a good and happy baby she is. I am one proud and happy mama! In the interest of progress-tracking, here are her 5 month "stats":

  • 24.75 in long (almost 50th percentile)
  • 12.6 lbs (7th percentile)

  • 6 oz bottle 5 times a day
  • has endured a few practice sessions with spoon-feeding; but isn't quite ready yet.

  • 11 hours a night
  • now sleeps unswaddled on her tummy instead of swaddled on her back
play:
  • her hands are still her favorite things to chew/suck on
  • loves to be sung to
  • smiles at anyone who smiles at her
  • giggles if you use a funny voice or tickle her
  • coos and babbles a lot
  • loves to see herself in the mirror
  • loves to bounce in the jumperoo or on a lap

  • rolls from back to tummy and is starting to roll from tummy to back
  • teething intermittently
