Five Months

Sophia,
You are five months old today (July 28, 2012).

I am not sure how much you weigh since we do not have a doctor's appointment this month, but you are still a little peanut.

We are on your last few size one diapers before you move up to size two.

You are wearing 3-6 months clothes.

You are eating every 2.5-4 hours. Some days you seem to be hungrier than others. Sometimes we do a bedtime bottle. You do a great job of holding the bottle, but need help aiming for your mouth and tilting the bottle up.

You sleep through the night - usually ten to twelve hours. If you wake up in the middle of the night I usually let you settle yourself back to sleep.

We still do not have a set schedule but you continue to be very flexible with your routine.

You smile all the time and usually stick your tongue out while smiling. You love to look in the mirror at your "friend" and smile as soon as you see your reflection.

You love to play and do an amazing job on both your back and your tummy. You also do a great job of sitting with support.

You are such a good baby and everyone comments on what an angel you are. You love to be outside, especially under the trees.

You stopped using a pacifier on your own this month. You have not developed a preference on your thumbs or fingers, but you love to suck on your right big toe.

The dogs still hold your interest. You are not very fazed when they bark. Kona has become your little protector and frequently checks in on you while you are sleeping.

We love every minute with you!
