Today Audrey is 5 months!
I was a little disappointed to find out I had to work today while she would be getting her second rounds of shots. I rushed home to work to find out how everything went and to hold and love on my little girl. My mom told me she did great today! She only cried on the last shot because the needle was a little bit bigger [she got 4 shots!]. She now weighs 17 pounds and is 25 inches in length. For her weight she is in the 90th percentile which is beyond great. The pediatrician said she was anticipating having to put Audrey on a diet [common amongst babies lately], but when she saw her she was overjoyed at how well she is growing! We can now introduce stage 2 foods to her! Im so thrilled, because there is more variety with stage 2 foods. This wknd im getting Audrey a different highchair....One i've been eying for a while. So lets recap on all the wonderful things Audrey has been doing now that she's 5 months!
-Audrey has her phases where she makes random noises and sticks with those noises for a week or two. For the past few weeks she has been making this noise and blowing with her lips. I cant really describe it other than to show you:
-Audrey has also been sitting up by herself for quite some time now since turning 4 months. Im so proud of her, as this is one big milestone I couldnt wait to see. She slumps over to play with toys in front of her because she hasnt quite got the idea of picking up the toy and bringing it up while sitting up. We will practice this some more
-Audrey is extremely ticklish, and she makes the cutest laughs when i tickle her.
-She loves to eat cut up apples from this little gadget: Baby Safe Feeder
-She takes little cat naps throughout the day for 10-15 minutes
-She has adjusted so well to sleeping in her crib: I put her down around 8pm, she wakes around 7am and I feed her at 8am-12pm-4pm-8pm. I like to keep her on that routine. She wakes about twice at night because she wants her pacifier [which falls out of her mouth] back in her mouth...weird, i know. She's a little diva. She doesnt have set times when she takes naps, but I know for sure she takes one in the morning after feeding around 9am.
-Audrey loves to slap at things. If you show her something she'll slap at it.
-She is now throwing her toys, I dont think deliberately though.
-She still wears size 6-9 month clothes, size 2 shoes
-And she still hates tummy time and still wont roll. Its crazy because she rolled in the very beginning, actually pretty early for her to be rolling. But since then she just stopped. She's boycotting the infamous "roll". I wonder if babies can skip that milestone....hmmm......
This is pretty much all that comes to mind at the moment. I know I need to blog a little more. I used to blog all the time, even about baby news, products, etc...things that I would find interesting if I were to read someones blog. I just love the time I spend with my little one, the only time I truly have to blog is at night but I take that precious time to catch up on sleep because I work. Im currently working on a schedule that im gonna put myself on to do certain activities like blog, workout, etc. I've focused so much on baby I forgot about myself. That's what makes me mommy! Now only if they could make a magic mommy friendly energy pill ;]
