Happy 5 Months

Our precious angel is 5 months today! TIME FLIES by way too quickly! She weighed 14lbs at our last Dr.'s appt, and I am sure she has grown since then! Here's what has been going on this month:

• She is sitting up with very little support! She is so close to doing it alone. It amazes me how she does new things overnight!
• She is (we are) completely finished with breast milk! Hallelujah! She is on Enfamil for babies that spit up, and it works!!! Thank goodness! She still spits up some, but not NEARLY as much or as often.
• She does NOT like rice cereal from a spoon! She is still only eating it once a day (in her bottle). I think it is because it tastes like cardboard! She will taste most things we are eating from a spoon, just not rice cereal!
• She had her 1st non checkup Dr.'s visit. :-( She had a cold/cough before we came to AZ, so we had to visit Dr. Smalley. It broke my heart to see our little monkey sick.
• She is ALL over the place! She is constantly on the go whether it's rolling or scooting! Mommy and Daddy can forget the easy diaper changing days! We have to be QUICK!
• She had pear juice for the 1st time (thanks to tummy issues) and she is not quite sure about it. She will only drink it if we give her milk, juice, then milk again!
• She is still sleeping through the night. We actually have to wake her up every morning to take daddy to work.
• She LOVES her feet. If she's sitting up, in her BUMBO, or laying down she is going to have at least one, if not both, of them in her hand!
• We don't go ANYWHERE without Lilly. SHE LOVES, LOVES, LOVES her and knows if we try to replace her with another lovey. We have 2 Lilly's, and she sucks on her and talks to her to go to sleep.
• She went tee-tee in the potty for the 1st time! YES! Of course, she had no clue what she was doing, but it was so funny! JJ was handing her to me in the shower, and I wasn't ready, so she put her on the potty and she went! When she was finished she started fussing...it was like she was saying, "I did it, now get me up!" Good thing it wasn't on the floor...hehe!

HAPPY 5 MONTHS LITTLE MONKEY! YOU ARE GROWING UP WAY TOO FAST! WE LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!!
