Amelia - 5 Months

I know, I know, Im like 3 weeks behind.  I really have no excuse, the honest reason is after posting the all the pictures on shutterfly, then trying to narrow it down to post some of facebook, the idea of making it down to only 3 pictures for the blog just seemed like too much!! I've decided for each month on the blog I am going to post 3 pictures, one vertical, one horizontal and one close-up, but as you can imagine that is hard to do, especially this month where towards the end  I changed her hair bow to a light pink one which I liked better than the white one!!  Man, life is hard....

 

Lets see, whats new with her (trying to think 3 weeks back)...

• she didnt go to the doctor this month so I dont have her stats, but she is certainly growing.  she is getting longer and is putting on some weight, finally has a few little fat rolls
• she is just now starting to wear 3 to 6 month clothes (this was 3 weeks ago, not when I posted the blog)
• she loves to suck her thumb, but only when she wants, cant tell you how many times I have tried to shove it in her mouth when she is crying :(
• she loves her feet, is always holding them and looking at them
• has finally stopped eating all the time (thank goodness), she can sometimes go up to 5 hours now, but is usually eating around the 3.5 to 4 hour mark
• although she is still crazy with her tongue, we are moving forward with more solid foods.  she really likes sweet potatoes, really doesnt like peas, isnt the biggest fan of rice cereal.
• still not liking tummy time, will tolerate it for a teeny bit longer, but after about 2 minutes she is done with it
• is always sitting up, loves it
• is going through a "everyone but mommy" sucks phase, I am not the biggest fan of this phase, and she wants to be held a lot, seriously, a lot
• doesnt seem to have the longest attention span, have to change her activity every 5 to 10 minutes
• is sleeping about 9 to 10 hours at night and typically taking a long nap in the morning, and then fighting sleep the rest of the day even though she gets exhausted :( 

This is why you shouldnt post a blog 3 weeks late, I really cant remember anything special that happened from 4 to 5 months, I want to write the stuff thats happening now, but I cant (at least not for another week or so).  Even with her grumpy phase I still love the little girl!!!
