Five Months

And here we are again... another month has gone by!

Sitting up on her own a bit! 

She is anxious to be on the move.

Looking at something...

Nora has changed a lot this month though I suppose I think that just about every month. No visit to the doctor so we're not entirely sure of her height and weight, but she has officially moved up to the size 2 diapers and into her 3-6 month clothing.

Look at those chunky thighs!! 

Reaching for the camera...

Pretty girl! 

Here is how she has changed since last month:

roll from tummy to back: She can now officially roll from back to tummy as well. She hasn't quite figured out that it can be a means of transportation but she does it on a regular basis! See Rolling post...

giggle: Nothing sweeter than little baby laughs. She likes to be tickled and play peek-a-boo!

reach for and grab everything: Nora has her hands on everything. She especially likes to grab faces. She is gaining a little more control in her reaching, but sometimes just bangs things on surfaces around her, I think on purpose.

sleep un-swaddled: This is still going well. She is a great sleeper! We've got her falling asleep on her own consistently for both naps and bed time. 

bring her pacifier to her mouth: Nora uses her pacifier to pacify, teethe, and play with. She is throwing them out of her crib, too!

eats some rice cereal (kind of): As previous post explains, we are now feeding solids! We have tried vegetables and are starting on some fruits. We are going to add solids to breakfast as well soon! See Solid Foods post...

plays with toys independently: Nora usually enjoys some play time on the floor, in her bouncer, or in her jumper independently, unless it is close to her feeding or nap time. 

plays with her lips and tongue (razzing!): She does this in the carrot video in another post. She is doing this less, maybe since it is less novel to her.

Grabbing those feet!

Things Nora does at five months:

Reaching for the camera again! 

Enjoying tummy time
