How can it be?! 5 months old

Age:  5 months!


Weight: no exact weight.  At least 12.5lbs--this was her weight two weeks ago at her last Dr. appt.  We go back for another weight check 11/14.  Dr. was so pleased with her progress last time!

Length: 25+inches

Size: 3 month onesies, she can wear 6month pants and sleepers

Teeth: None visible, but she still loves to gnaw on things!  Favorites include her giraffe-ring and daddy's hand

Sleeping: She takes anywhere between 3 and 5 naps a day of greatly varying length.  She goes to bed usually around 9pm and we usually wake her up at 7:30am.  She's a great sleeper!

Eating: After we discovered her issues with weight gain and reflux we began adding rice cereal to her breastmilk bottles.  This is still what we're doing!  She still eats around 24-28oz per day.

Movement: All sorts of rolling and rolling!  She can also pivot and turn while on her tummy.  Enjoys being pulled to a standing position from her back on the count of "one, two, threeeeeeee!"

Milestones: Sitting!!!  Starting in the past few days Eliza can sit on her own for several minutes on her own.  She also put her toes in her mouth for the first time this past month.

Favorite Toys:  Giraffe-ring, squeezable blocks, stuffed doggy

 Dislikes: Getting sleeves put on, any kinds of sleeves.  

Words/sounds: Squeals, screams, coos, all sorts of sounds.

  2. I love the way she instinctively balances herself with her arms out. Grandpa's little heartbreaker! Can't wait for us all to be together in Florida.
