5 Months Old!

I guess the standard here is going to be to post about our baby girl's milestones at least 1/2 of a month late.  : /  I did, however, take her pictures on her 5 month birthday.  Go me!

Stats:
Weight: 15.8 lbs. (Between 50th and 75th percentile)
Height:  I honestly didn't take her height this month.  Oops.

At 5 Months:

  • Carson still refuses to roll from her stomach to her back.  As soon as you put her on her back, she immediately rolls to her stomach.  This, unfortunately, leads to lots of screaming since she can't roll back over yet and it appears that she isn't too fond of this position.
  • Carson has two bottom teeth.  Her brother already 4 teeth on the bottom at this point, so it looks like she won't have a whole mouth of chompers as quickly as Reed did.  She likes to chew on anything she can get her hands on.  Sometimes it's our fingers and goodness are her teeth sharp?! Ouch!  She sometimes gets a bite of her own fingers.  She doesn't like that so much.
  • She started to get food during her 5th month.  We started off with rice cereal mixed with milk and then moved onto sweet potatoes.  I think she likes the sweet potatoes better than the cereal.
  • She sits up pretty well but not great.  Any slight tilt to one side and she is laying sideways.
  • She is still wearing some 6 months clothes but most of her clothes are 6-12 clothes.  She is a growing girl!
  • She is wearing a size 3 diaper.
  • She is a little chatter box.  There isn't much better than going in her room in the morning and her welcoming you with her sweet smile and voice.
  • She is a stomach sleeper.  And she sometimes likes to sleep face down.  I do my best to turn her head, but she puts it right back where it was.
  • We love, love, LOVE her!!
5 Months Old!


I am thinking she is going to have hazel colored eyes as well.


Look at those lashes!

Happy Birthday Jesus!

Reed's preschool had their annual Happy Birthday Jesus party in mid-December this year.  It really is one of the highlights of the season for me.  I love that we get together with our preschool friends to celebrate the real reason for the season.  It is so special to hear all the kids singing Happy Birthday to Jesus.  It truly makes my heart smile.  We had our own party for Jesus on Christmas morning.  I will post the video soon.

He is obsessed!

Reed is definitely going through a Star Wars phase.  We took family pictures yesterday and he wasn't much for the camera, aside from the few times I allowed him to take a picture with his lightsaber.
