5 months!

Paige, you are 5 months old!

This month has flown by and I might say that this has been the quickest one yet.  I guess the old saying about time flying when you're having fun is true!

We are slowly developing a routine at night.  We normally come home, play and/or eat.  Then around 7 you start to get tired and fall asleep.  This normally lasts around an hour or so and you wakes up.  We get you ready for bed, feed you your last bottle and you are out until the next morning (which is between 6:30 and 7).  If we are out or around others you stay awake longer and just want to be apart of the group; you are so easy going like that!

You rolled from back to tummy for the first time this month.  You also love scooting around on your back.  In fact, just this past weekend we watched you make a complete circle around in your little floor gym.  A game you like to play is "take the paci out and try to get it back in".  Everything now belongs in your mouth and you are starting to grab at everything (the remote, Momma's coke, hair earrings, Daddy's nose, cheek, chin), you name it, you want it.  You have also started petting Ellie and Madi.  They are both so sweet to let you do it and you are very sweet to them.

You eat between 35 and 40 oz a day.  I would say that you have somewhat slown down over the past month but you still love to eat.  You typically eat 4 8 oz bottles and finish the day with a 6 oz formula bottle.  This all really just depends on the day and we let you do whatever you want.  You enjoy eating your rice cereal and would feed yourself if you could.

You love water - bath time is still fun and you have enjoyed the pool (but who doesn't!).  Your hair has taken off growing this month.  It may not look like it in the pictures but it really has.  We can't decide what color it is going to be.  It can look light brown, dark brown, or red depending on the light.  I am starting to think you are going to have curly/wavy hair.  I noticed a little piece was starting to curl last night.  Poor thing if you have hair like mine, maybe you will have the curl without the frizz.  I still can't figure out your eye color.  Everyone tells me, "what pretty blue eyes," but I don't think they are blue.  Someone told me yesterday they looked green, so maybe they are green.

According to the Wii, because it is so official you know, you weigh just under 16 lbs.  Still growing great!

One more month until you are half a year old!
