Baby Allie- 5 months

Oh my goodness, you are getting dangerously close to that half a year mark! Where did my little newborn go?! Things continue to be busy around here so I'm never on time blogging anymore, but at least I got your pictures on time this month. :) Here's a little about you at 5 months:

• you still do not care for belly time very much- I don't think any of your siblings did either, but it seems you're the least tolerant. Maybe that's just 'cause I'm in the now
• you still love talking, typical girl...you are making some new gurgles and sounds this month
• you love sitting in the bumbo...being up looking around is your favorite, probably why you don't love belly time and still love being held
• you also like being in the bouncy...you haven't turned around yet but are jumping good
• you are beginning to rake at toys and love grabbing & chewing on your feet and also your binky...you have gotten pretty good at getting it in your mouth
• you're still in 0-3 month clothes and the size 1 diapers, I'm sure you'll be moving up to 3-6 months right at the 6 month mark, just like your siblings :)
• I did finally start you on cereal. The first few nights were rocky, but you're eating like a champ now and so far bananas are your favorite puree
• I just love how much you smile and talk
• sleeping is going great...you upped it this month, generally sleeping from about 9pm to 7 or 8am.  

With sleeping, it got to the point where I you always fell asleep after that 7/7:30/8:00 feeding and I'd have to wake you up for the last 10 or 11 feeding. So I decided to let the 8-ish feeding be your last and you're doing great! The only struggle lately is you keep waking up right when I need to get kids ready or out the door for school but we're managing. I love you so much my little sweet pea girl (oh my word, I cannot tell you how cute it is when Jake says this)!!
