5 Months!






Little Libby is now 5 months!! I keep saying this, but I can't believe how quickly time is flying by. She's growing like a little weed as well. I took her to the doctor for just a little visit. (I break up her shots so she goes every month). I tossed her on the scale real quick and she tipped the scales at 14 1/2 lbs! And she's roughly 25 3/4"! I looked it up and that's right at 50th percentile for weight and 75th for height. Those are the same percentages as the last couple of months. And that's just on breast milk! Makes me very happy how successful that's been so far.
We haven't started any foods yet but she is very, very curious about our food. And I started giving her a bottle of water to play with and suck on. I don't think she's actually drunk very much, but it's good practice!
We're making the transition of sleeping full-time in her crib and last night (first night) went really well! I'm hoping that will only continue. :) Right now she's snoozing on Tim but I'll move her soon. She still wakes up in the night to eat but as long as she goes right back to sleep I'm not complainin'! I've also started putting her on her tummy to sleep and that's really helped! I feel comfortable doing that now that she's 5 months, rolling around, and has great head control.
Newest "things": grabbing at everything: my hair, glasses, earrings, necklace, pretty much anything anywhere nearby. Squirms and wiggles on the floor trying to get places. Seems like she moves backwards more than forwards though! As before, Libby is extremely alert and has incredible focus on things around her. I really think her personality is a lot like Tim's, especially regarding her attention to detail, she does not get that from her mama!! :) For example, we went to the city the other day and took turns carrying her in our front carrier. We were window shopping and she stared intently at all the items in the windows and would look whenever I pointed at something. I really think she knew what we were talking about!
Well, I'd better get ready for bed. Lib and Tim have fallen asleep on the couch and I need to transplant Libby and get Tim to bed. Not sure if I can carry Tim! :)
Here are some pics, I'll post some growth pics tomorrow.
