5 Months!

F stands for February and Five Months :) She weighed 16.6 lbs and was 24.5 inches long. This month was a big one for Little Girl. Here are some of the experiences she had and milestones she reached:
Week 1:

• Mastering rolling over from front to back and back to front. She did it a couple of times during her 4th month, but really became good at this month.
• Splashing during her bath.
• Started back thumb sucking...not sure if this is a good thing!
• Oh...that is me in the mirror!

Week 2:

• SITTTING UP UNASSISTED (she can go for 15 min. without falling over)
  
• Reaching for and putting her paci in her mouth.
• Had her first accumulating snow fall!
  

Week 3:

• Eating oatmeal and loving it :) She hated rice cereal...
• Finally paying attention to the dogs, she smiles whenever they enter the room now.
• First virus with a fever: Viral Pharyngitis, aka, a sore throat. In adults it is basically a cold.

Week 4:

• First bath in the big tub (in her chair...pictures to come)
  
• Sitting in a high chair at a restaurant for the first time...Olive Garden to be exact.

This month there are even more giggles and coos and tons of sweet smiles. Since she started eating her oatmeal, she has been taking a 3 (sometimes 4) hour nap during the middle of the day while she is at Alli's. She wants to crawl so bad and gets frustrated that she cannot move wherever she wants. We never use the swing anymore...she always wants to be either sitting on the floor or in her excersaucer. We definitely are having to keep more of an eye on her...I can't imagine what it is going to be like when she starts crawling. Spring cannot get here fast enough! We are looking very forward to being outside more for playing and walks. Yesterday, we took a walk on campus and she loved looking at all the people.

We are so thankful to be Avery's parents. By far, the fifth month has definitely been the most fun...we will see though what the sixth one has in store.
