Everything Emily: 5 Months Old

Size: She is about 25" long and 15.5 lbs. Emily is still in number 2 diapers and wears 6 month clothing.

Sleep: We have finally achieved getting her to take two naps a day in her crib. It's amazing! She sleeps anywhere between an hour to three hours at a time. She still sleeps with Mommy at night and has been tossing and turning every hour or so...we need to do something about this...soon. I'm just happy she is taking her naps!

Eating: Emily is still breastfeeding and she eats between every 2-4 hours. We just started feeding her rice cereal but she is mainly breastfeeding. Emily takes after her parents in her love for eating, even just to snack ;).

First time eating solids. Rice cereal!

Playtime: So much has changed in just the last month! She started to roll around on the ground, plays more with toys, loves to have a bottle with water in it (even though she still doesn't really drink from a bottle because she likes to play with it). She likes her crinkly doll, rattle, playmat, watching tv, listening to music, and being carried/pushed in her stroller. Her personality has been showing more and more and we love to hear her jabber and squeal with delight!

All dressed up for a night out!

Learning: I guess I kinda covered most of this already but she recently learned to roll from back to tummy. She is starting to try to inch her knees up on the ground like she wants to crawl, too! It's crazy! We are working on the bottle thing, but we think she might skip right to this sippy cup we bought that she seems to like. It has handles for her. She just started sucking her thumb more (she usually sucks on multiple fingers at a time).

Just after rolling over for her first time.
