5 months

I almost let it get to 6 months before posting!! Things are going really well with our little growing gal. At her 5 month appointment she weighed 17.8lbs and is eating very hardily as always lol. She is now eating 3 meals a day and 4 six-seven ounce bottles a day as well. Surprisingly, she isn't too too keen on bananas (she will eat them but is indifferent) but seems to love everything else....prunes, sweet potatoes and green beans still being her favorites.

Little Amelia started rolling over last month front to back, back to front but has now taken it to the next level by choosing to roll all over the place as her means of travel. She wants to crawl badly but can't, therefore, she swims and gets frustrated she isn't going anywhere. lol She has also improved her sitting from the end of last month and is no longer slumping forward as she sits...yet can't be left by herself because she tends to lean and tip over eventually.

Her main entertainment other the new spitty tongue thing she has learned and will constantly do for 10 minute stretches drenching her shirt and face all-the-while lol, is the dogs. She stares and laughs and laughs at them (esp Lola who we currently have in obedience school).

She has learned a new trick of putting her foot in her mouth without even being a how to talk yet!!!! lol. She definitely learned that from her Daddy! hehehhe

She is fascinated with and determinedly tries to grab telephones, computers and remotes (although I think putting them in her mouth is her main objective...which I HOPE she didn't learn from her Daddy). hehehehhe

What else....oh...she LOVES story time (although again, eating the book is more interesting than the content) and gets 2 stories during the day with Mimi and after bath and before bed every night. She is still doing well with going to bed at night (7:15 ish) and is a good little sleeper.

More updates soon,
