5 Months

Esther is five months old already. I can't believe how fast she is growing up and changing. Her 6 month clothes are getting pretty tight so she mostly wears 9 month. I'm already shopping for 12 month and 18 month clothes for the winter.

I just love how she always puts her little feet together. 

At 5 months she:

-wears size 3 diapers

-weighs 17.5 lbs (guess)

-27.5 inches long (guess)

-can roll over back to belly

-occasionally rolls belly to back

-sleeps in her crib in her own room for naps and night

-is always "talking"

-smiles and laughs all the time

-is still breastfeed but finally got the hang of taking bottles

-sleeps for 12 hours at night, but wakes up to eat 1-3 times

-can sit unassisted for about 25 seconds

She is constantly waving her arms and kicking her feet. It makes for some blurry pictures. 

Esther likes:

-baths

-being outside

-being on her tummy

-sleeping in her crib

-playing with toys

-playing with things that aren't toys i.e. paper

-tummy time

-sitting up

-being read to

Esther doesn't like:

-being left alone

-being in the car, but she's gotten a lot better

Esther is such a sweet baby. She does have her fussy moments, whenever she is tired or hungry. She sometimes fusses for no reason, we suspect teething but no teeth have come through yet. 

This month's photo shoot was kind of a fail. Esther was a little hungry and didn't want to cooperate.
