Happy 5 months Annabelle
Your Dad and I just cannot believe that we have had you with us now for 5 whole months.
Everyday is something new and fantastic. This month has brought on your sweetness and you are now full of cuddles and hugs, but also quick to whine if something is not how you like it.
You went to your first wedding this month and had so much fun that you fell asleep in your sling as we danced.
Cousin Wes and his beautiful wife Andrea were so happy that you were there to celebrate. You also met your Great Oma this month, and my Godfather Steven. Everyone is so happy to meet you and continue to admire at what a good baby you are.
We also celebrated Dad's birthday this month. The day we found out you were a girl we purchased a blue dress for you in hopes to wear for Dad's birthday. You were still too small to wear it for this birthday, but maybe by the end of summer.
This month you have:
-continued to be a great sleeper. We put you to bed between 8:00 and 8:30 and you sleep till a bit before 7:00 am. You still talk to yourself in your crib in the morning before we come get you.
-spent about two weeks waking up at 5:00 am and talking in your crib for an hour before falling back asleep.
-moved to eating 5 times a day.
-At the beginning of this month you were eating approx.: 7am, 10:30am, 2:30pm, 5:30pm, 7pm and 8:30pm
-At 5 months you are eating approx.: 7am, 11am, 3pm, 6pm and 7:45pm.
-switched to 3 naps a day. This took a while for mama to figure this out but you got the hang out it right away. Normally 2 naps at 1.5 to 2 hours and one smaller 45 - 60 min. nap
-started to stand while holding on to a table.
-sit well by just holding onto my fingers.
-learned how to do push ups while playing on your tummy.
