5 months old




our little girl is more her own person every day. she is very active and is playing more by herself oftentimes singing and making raspberries with her lips to the point where you have to towel off!
she's super social and loves it when you smile at her and when daddy plays guitar (see video) yesterday, i put her in a 6 month outfit and she barely fit! she had her first taste of formula over the weekend and had no adverse reactions..so we're excited about that. she rolls all over the place and is trying to figure out how to crawl, but sometimes can't get her big belly off the ground. she's pretty good with scooting backwards..hasn't figured out forward yet. we're going to be in trouble soon enough! next month we'll get the green light to start introducing foods. can't wait. she already seems interested in watching us eat, so i think that she'll be ready. we're still fighting with her full body eczema. it's quite annoying..but we just have to lube her up with lotion several times a day to keep it under control. the doc says it could last anywhere up to 2 years, but we're keeping fingers crossed that it doesn't last THAT long! in any case, she is hugely fun and is more so every day that she becomes more active and responsive. i wish that she would sleep a little bit more regularly, but nevertheless, i could never have imagined a love like this. :)
