5 Sweet Months

Reese is now 5 months old!

1. She sleeps in her own crib many times completely through the night. If she wants to eat, she'll cry a little but never wakes up all the way. She likes to sleep in (wish her brothers and sister did too) and she goes to bed around 8:30 when the older kids do. She almost always wakes up happy (she doesn't get that from her mama!)

2. She doesn't suck her thumb as much now but likes to use 2 of her fingers instead.

3. She loves toys now and will grab at anything she things she can play with.

4. She loves her brothers and sister so much. She squeals and smiles at them. They play with her a lot and keep her occupied quite often. They even fight over her.

5. Her laugh is this crazy cough sound.

6. She can sit up for a couple seconds but falls over fast. She can roll over both ways but is really too efficient at it yet.

7. She is wearing size 3 diapers now.

8. She just started pulling my face close to hers. She loves it when I kiss her and then she tries to kiss me back by pulling my face close but she's an open mouth kisser.

9. She is really good at riding in the van.

10. I have yet to get her on a napping schedule -- it's so hard when our daily schedule is so varied with preschool, speech, appointments, etc. I am determined to work on it though.

11. She is still one happy girl!
