•Lilly weighs around 14 pounds. She lost some weight in the last month since she rarely ate. She's such a sweet little peanut! We're not sure how long she is...we'll save that for her 6 month check up!
•Lilly is laughing all the time. The best part about it is she laughs without being tickled--she just laughs because she thinks something is funny. Her sister is still her best entertainment.
•Good news...Lilly has moved to her crib! It just happened last week, but hey-we've had a rough month, remember?! She's doing okay in her crib. Most of the nights she has made it the whole night. On the couple of nights when she's woken up aroun 3 or 4, we cheat and bring her to our bed. We are definitely from the school of "whatever works" until the summer!
•Lilly goes to bed around 8:30 and sleeps until 6:30, wherever that may be!
•Lilly is up to 7-8 oz. bottles. We tried cereal, but she is not feeling it AT ALL! I'm being a bad mom and sneaking some in her bedtime bottle...it's seemed to work. She is still on breastmilk, and I have cut my pumping down to only twice a day. I tried to quit once last week and after almost throwing up from the pain at 3 in the morning, I decided I'd go a little longer. I forgot how awful it is to quit!
•Lilly is still wearing size 2 diapers. She's wearing 3-6 month clothes, more leaning toward the 6 month side!
•Lilly REALLY wants to move! You can tell she has the desire, she just can't quite get it figured out yet. She pushes herself all the way up, but then she cannot figure out how to get those knees underneath her. It's only a (short) matter of time before she's mobile! We also think teeth are in the near future. She constantly has her hands in her mouth!
How we got another blonde haired, blue-eyed baby is beyond us, but boy am I counting down the days until I get to spend lots of time with this sweet girl soon!!!
Can't believe she is 5 months!It's going way too fast!!!
