Happy 5 month Birthday to you!!!
Stats
We don’t have them as of today, but will get your weight at
least tomorrow when we go to the doctor (more on that later). Wearing size 2 diapers, no exceptions
now! You are still in size 3 month
onsies , some 3-6 month ones fit but they are all very loose on you and still
just fitting in your 3 month pants most are still too big.
Firsts
We start out back in Montana, the day after you turned 4
months… you had your first boat ride!
You loved it and ended up going comatose after being on the boat a
little while. You watched your first Olympics! You especially enjoyed the gymnastics, swimming and beach
volleyball. You did not like the
cycling and marathons. You
had a month of mom being dairy free, we think this helped your little belly,
but we are not convinced that this is the problem that keeps you up at night
and screaming from time to time.
Alice you tried rice cereal for the first time 3 days ago. The first time, you were not too sure
about it, but it seems like you are enjoying it as the days go by. However it possibly is a reason for
increased stomach aches so we didn’t give it to you today. (we will see what
the dr suggests we do when we see her tomorrow)
You are watching the Olympics, upside down... cause it's what the cool kids do!
Tricks
You started putting multiple things in your mouth at once,
thumb and binkie, binkie and toe, toy and toe, etc. It is pretty funny and you get very frustrated when they
don’t fit in your mouth the way you want.
You are able to pick up your binkie and put it in your mouth all by
yourself, although you are not good at looking around to find your binkie when
it isn’t right in front of you.
Alice you are able to move objects from one hand into the other hand. You
are pushing your self around all over and “steam rolling” everywhere you want
to go. (rolling over and over until you reach your destination) Even though you
can roll both ways you prefer rolling to your left.
Note she is shoving my thumb and hers in her mouth!
Alice we are still trying to figure out your tummy problems
and are not finding any consistent relief for you. We are so sorry but are diligently working on improving this
and willing to do whatever it
takes. You are still not sleeping
well. We have started doing some
sleep training with your, but not much has changed yet (another thing we will
talk with your dr about tomorrow).
Alice you are getting more and more talkative, you love to mimic sounds
(this is still very minimal but you are trying it). You are cuddly and loving and we are still very lucky and
blessed to have you in our family.
What an adorable face, who wouldn't love it?!?! (pictures courtesy of Jessi Sellers)
