5 Months

Squishy turned 5 months a week or so ago...things are getting busy around here so I am just now posting this.

In the past month she has:

Finally mastered the art of eating cereal. We just skipped the brown rice (I have issues with plain rice) and went straight to oatmeal...she is particular about how it is fixed and needs a little cinnamon and nutmeg.


And she now has a love of apples. Don't worry...I watch for chunks.



We have had a bought with thrush and have turned her into a Smurf-wannabe and in the process turned everything else blue as well.

Squishy doesn't like to be alone. Product of being the baby of the family. We bought her a little seat and she sits happily wherever we are. She has to be a part of the action.

She finally figured out that those hands do things. Fun things. Like pull her mi-mi (pacifier) out and make her scream...at the top of her lungs.

Naptime and bedtime have become...interesting. She has always been a belly sleeper. She just won't sleep unless she is on her tummy. About three weeks ago we would put her to bed and the little inchworm would pull her bottom up and flip over and then get mad because she can't sleep on her back. It hasn't stopped yet.

Her little personality is starting to show. She is super sweet and so much fun. She giggles and laughs at everything. She loves her sisters and grins from ear to ear when she sees them walk in the room. She recognizes her grandma and aunts now. I love it when that happens.

Time is going by so fast. I am not ready for this to be over yet.
