5 months old

My little gem is 5 months old! She has no desire to smile for the camera (her brother was always super smiley), but I love that she is more serious and reserved.

Sleep: Sleep has not improved much.  She takes 3 naps every 2 hours which range from 45 mins to 2 hours in length.  She is still taking all of her naps in the swing, but I'm hoping to transition to the pack and play this month.  We are co-sleeping at night, but she is very restless and up every 1-2 hours some nights.  She has been having a problem with gas, so hopefully I can figure that out and we both can get more sleep.

Food: We'd been exclusively nursing up until last night when we decided to try rice cereal.  She actually ate it without a problem so I think that means she was ready.  We're going to just give her a little bit of cereal each night and wait to to introduce fruits and veggies until 6 months.

Diaper size: 2

Clothes: Still mostly 0-3 months but she is in 3-6 month PJs

Development: She is still a supported sitter, but getting better each day.  She likes to be on her tummy and will pull/push herself along the floor.  She hasn't done much rolling over since the first few times she did it.  I'm guessing she'll be sitting up on her own by 6 months.  She hasn't been making many sounds yet, but I know she has plenty of time for that! 

Weight: 12 pounds (on our home scale). She goes back in 2 weeks to have her weight checked and I'm hoping the rice cereal will help her out a little bit with putting weight on.

Eating her feet is her favorite thing right now

She took a bottle for 2 mins with daddy :)

Such a sweet little peanut! She's so tiny still, but that just means she's petite and cute :)
