I'm 5 months old!

 

My little peanut is 5 months old today.  She is wiggling and giggling constantly.  It's amazing how fast she is growing up and growing out.  She can only fit into 9 month pj's and is quickly moving into that direction with onesies.  I have a feeling the onsies are about to hit the road permanently for this little tyke. Separates seem to have a longer shelf life.

She started eating rice cereal this month.  She cried the first time I tried it but that was due to the fact I tried to feed her right before she needed her next bottle.  She had no time for new tricks, she just wanted that bottle.  I figured out now to feed her the cereal in between bottles...fewer tears this way.

Her two bottom teeth are officially in.  I can see her top teeth getting ready to push through so I'm sure any day now those will make an appearance.  We may skip baby food and go straight to a rare rib eye.

She also loves to talk.  She sings to me every morning on our way to school.  I have a feeling she will do this for many years to come.  I also love how much she loves school and how much they love her. I dropped her off in the early risers room and then went to her room to drop her bottles off.  As I'm walking out, I see one of the assistant directors holding Viv.  I popped my head in and asked if she was getting special treatment with a grin on my face.  The director told me that Viv is one of her favorites at the school and loves holding her.  It's good to know she is well loved when I'm not around.

4 months

Vivian hit her 4 month mark on Monday.  We had her check up on Tuesday and she is growing like a weed.  she is now 25 1/4" long and weighs 14lbs. 1oz.  She is starting to get heavy which means I need to up the weights at the gym. She loves standing, looking at books and of course, her light up star.  She can be in any kind of mood and you turn her star on and she becomes mesmerized. She kicks her little legs and waves her arms as if she was at a rock concert.

Her first tooth is coming in.  I can't believe she is already teething.  I thought I might have a few more months before her tooth came through.  I need her to stop growing so fast. I keep trying to take a picture of it but everytime I try to snap a shot she covers the tooth with her tongue.  I'll try to steal a shot this weekend.

She is starting to roll to her side and does this primarily in her crib.  She usually wakes up crying because she has scooted so close to the rails that she can't turn to the side and cries for me to help reposition her.  I don't mind doing this, just wish she wouldn't cry at 1am.
