Kaitlyn turned 5 months on Sunday. There is no 5-month check-up, but she is still a big girl. She is wearing some 6 month clothes, and some 6-9 month clothes. My guess is that she weighs about 19 lbs now.
Her new trick is to crawl on her back to get around the room. She also does this in her crib and ends up in one of the corners, unable to move any further. Her bedtime is 7 PM and she usually sleeps til 6 or 6:30 AM.
She is consistently rolling from stomach to back, and very close to rolling from her back to her stomach. She sits with just a little support and is able to sit in a high chair and the grocery shopping cart.
We will probably start rice cereal soon with her mainly to work on feeding skills to prepare her to start eating at 6 months. I made my first batch of pureed sweet potatoes the other day for her.
Kaitlyn remains a very calm and sweet baby. Absolutely no complaints out of this mama, other than the fact that she took about a week to adjust to the time change and was waking me up at 4 and 5 AM!
Kaitlyn now loves bottles, helps hold them, and grabs for them. I have been away from her for at least a few hours the past 4 weekends, and she has done great with daddy. He gets her again this Saturday for my first out-of-town adventure without her.
The Bumbo is getting a little tight for her juicy thighs, but her new favorite thing is the standing jumper. Even when she isn't in it, she likes to pretend she is jumping! I'm hoping this helps some with the thigh issue mentioned above! :)
Kaitlyn enjoys looking at books, listening to mom sing, drooling, chewing on toys, vocalizing (especially when in the car), watching people, and smiling. She continues to be a joy and reminds me daily of the goodness of God. I am so thankful!
On the go!
