Madelyn: 5 Months

Madelyn,

You are five months old today!

Here are some of your stats for the month:

-At the last doctor's appt., about a month ago, you weighed 12 1/2 lbs.  We're guessing you weigh about 13 1/2 lbs now.

-You are wearing size 1 diapers and you're wearing mostly 3 and 3-6 months clothes. You can still fit into some of your newborn and 0-3 pj's.

-You can hold your head up so well baby girl!

-You "talk" all.the.time.  You still love to squeal and have a huge smile we you see mom and dad.

-You went on your first road trip to Chelan this past weekend.  You did really well in the car and loved looking out the window.

-You also took your first dip in the swimming pool.  The lake was way too cold so we voted to try you in the pool instead.

-You are currently eating around 8 oz. every 4 hours.  We also started you on rice cereal.  At first you weren't so sure about it, but now you eat it up!  I think we'll start pureed veggies soon because you are watching everything we put in our mouth. 

-You sleep between 11-12 hours at night.  Going to bed at about 8pm and waking up between 7am-8am in the morning.

-Our sweet babysitter, Lynn, said you rolled over from tummy to back the other day.  Mommy and daddy have yet to see it, but we know you're trying your best!

-You've started petting your puppies.  They sit there very nicely and let you do it.  When you're done, they give you lots of kisses.

Love you baby girl.

-Mommy and Daddy
