Grace Mae - you are FIVE months old!!!
You weigh 12 lbs and are 24 1/2 inches long
You are wearing mostly 3 months clothes.
You wear a size 2 diaper.
You had a few nights this last month when you woke up in the middle of the night, but I just changed and fed you and you were back to sleep in no time! You sometimes will wake up right before my alarm goes off but don't open your eyes just wiggle around and let out a few whimpers and then you are back to sleep. It amazes me how sound of a sleeper you are....you get that from Mommy and Daddy...we like our sleeptime!
You have been spending some time each day in your jumper...you are almost touching the ground! Your favorite part is the spinner ball and the yellow sunshine. You have pushed the music buttons a few times but don't do it often, maybe next month you'll start trying it more.
You love being on your back on the floormat! You tend to roll to one side more than actually rolling over. Its cute when Ellie is laying beside you and you look at her. You guys will be good friends one day. Doing better with tummytime, but often push yourself back over after a few minutes.
We waited until you reached 5 months old to offer you anything besides mommy's milk. On the 8th of November (5 months old to the day) we started feeding you cereal for dinner! You are so curious about the spoon and try to reach for it yourself already! You have been more interested in watching Mommy and Daddy eat and drink, so its time to expand your choices. Next month we'll start vegetables and fruits...oh I can't wait to see your reaction to flavor!
I can't believe that you are almost six months old...its amazing that you have been growing up so fast! You are getting stronger and more interactive. You smile at everybody and rarely get upset around strangers. I hope that continues, I like you are more curious then a lot of babies. Always looking around and investigating sounds when you hear them behind you or in another room.
I am so excited to start decorating for the holidays this month...I hope you love all the twinkle lights and pretties that we will have all around the house. You aren't crawling yet so we don't have to worry about you getting into too much mischief!
Daddy can get you to giggle now so thats adorable to see, Mommy doesn't get as many laughs but that's ok, I have to work on it! You brighten our days with your beautiful bright blue eyes and little nose that scrunches up when you smile.We love you Gracie!
