Abigail is 5 months old! She is now up to 13lbs 12oz at her highest this month. We are still supplementing some and weighing her daily with our home scale and trying to pack on the l-bs. Surely she'll start to pick up more weight since we started solid food today, October 1st!
At 5 months Abby has hit some big milestones:
-Rolling over! She's flipped over a time or two prior to this month, but she has really got it down now. She does not like to be on her back. If you lay her on her back, she immediately rolls over onto her tummy. She also likes to roll over in bed when you put her on her back, so after we flip her over a few times, sometimes she ends up sleeping on her tummy.
-First solid food! Well, it was actually quite liquid-y rice cereal. She ate very well and seemed to love it. She cried when we were done, seemed to want more!
-First flight. We went to Denver for a friend's baby shower. She was really good on the plane, she cried some, but overall was a very good girl. So glad Abby got to meet many of mom's Trinity friends.
-Abby was away from mommy for the first time. Mom went to LA for a friend's wedding party. She had a great weekend with Dad!
-First cold? Nothing officially diagnosed, but I have had a cold for about two weeks straight, and I think I may have passed some on to her.
-She likes to bang her hands on things, if you hold your hand in front of her, she'll give you five!
-She's learned how to blow raspberries! (sticking out her tongue and making funny noises). She also makes other funny noises with her mouth, smacks her lips together.
-She sits up well in her Bumbo seat.
-She still really likes her rattle, (and continues to shake it quite vigorously at times!) eating her toes, and likes watching the cat (who chooses not to come too close).
