Audrey Jillian is 5 months old today. It's hard to believe it's been that long already. We've had a good month that included some visitors, Nana, Papa, DenDen, Bunchie, Auntie Em, Laura, and her twin girls, Jordan & Kennedy. We try to go out and about shopping or to restaurants, but haven't been able to do a whole lot outside since it's so dang hot!
Let's start with her 5 month stats:
Weight: 13 lbs 5 oz
Height: 24 1/2 inches
Diapers: just moved up to size 3 Pampers
Clothes: mostly 6 month, she has outgrown all her footed PJ's which is sad but ok b/c it's too hot for them anyway!
Likes: sitting up (Bumbo, highchair, our laps, whereever), jumperoo (this is new for her and she's starting to get the hang of it), her pacifier, the swing, the gym/playmat (still provides so much fun), looking at mommy & daddy, chitchatting with us and her teachers at daycare, her FP Laugh & Learn Puppy (makes diaper changes fun :) ), crib mobile (it moves and plays music, it's a life saver), stroller rides sitting in the actual stroller part (well, we've done it once and she seemed to like it!), being swaddled
Dislikes: rice cereal and oatmeal. We practiced with each for a few days and she just doesn't seem ready yet. I'm going to start making some baby food and freezing it to try in a couple of weeks. Tummy time. Well I don't know if it counts b/c now she can just roll right over. Carseat! Still doesn't like it... I look forward to that passing :)
Milestones: rolling stomach to back, sitting with only a little support, weight bearing through legs in standing, pulls to sit.
Daily routine: Audrey wakes up around 6 am even on weekends. Sometimes earlier and sometimes later, but usually it's 6. During the week, I need her to wake up this early to get ready for daycare so I have time to nurse her and play with her. During the work week, she's off to daycare with daddy around 7:45 am. I pick her up around 5:30 or so and get to play with her and nurse her before she goes to bed around 7 or 7:30. She sometimes is waking up in the middle of the night, but not to eat, her pacifier and mobile seem to do the trick.
Weekends: nurses every 2 hours, naps 3-4 times a day (30 to 45 min each), lots of playtime, running errands (mostly when daddy is home too), bed around 7 or 7:30.
