5 Months

Molly Grace, you are 5 months old today and I can hardly believe it! It's so crazy to think that before we know it you'll be a year old!




*You weigh 14 lbs, 10 oz
*You are wearing size 2 diapers and size 3-6 month clothes
*You are sleeping about 11 hours at night and still take several naps a day! You are your momma's child!
*You eat between 27-30 oz a day, usually 5 times a day and 5-6 oz at a time. You are now drinking 2 oz of soy formula at each feeding. You love it - we call it your desert!
*You no longer take Zantac! I think you've finally outgrown the reflux!
*You have started holding your bottle while you eat. Your little hands are strong enough to hold it up on your own, but you don't let go!
*You LOVE LOVE LOVE your fingers! They are always in your mouth and you could care less about your paci these days - as long as you can find those fingers!
*You are a pro at rolling from your tummy to back! You are starting to try to roll from back to belly. You arch your back and kick your legs around - you'll do it soon, I know!
*You are scooting and pulling yourself all over the place! I think you'll crawl very soon!
*You 'talk' up a storm to anyone who will listen.
*You are the funniest and most pleasant baby I've ever seen! You have the best little personality!
*You are a social butterfly. You love attention and will talk to anyone!
*You love your mommy and daddy! Your eyes follow us wherever we go! Of course we love that!
*You can sit up as long as we help you. You love to reach down and grab your feet!
*You love being read to at night!
*You're crazy about tv - your favorite is Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and Cardinal baseball!
