Harper is 5 months old today! Seriously hard. to. believe.
Here's what she's up to:
- She weighs ??????? Even though it wasn't a problem at 3 months, the pediatrician's office told me today that I had to make an appointment to get her weighed. I'm not having the insurance billed just for a weight. I'm not happy about this.
- She's sleeping 11.5-12 hours at night. We start getting her ready for bed a little before 7:30, I feed her, and then put her down around 8-8:10. She gets so excited when we start getting her ready for bed.
- She's not very flexible with her bedtime. If we're out, as soon as 7:30 hits she turns into a fussy, crying baby. Like yesterday at dinner club...
- She takes 2-3 naps a day. She usually has a good morning and early afternoon nap (anywhere from 1-2.5 hours, but usually 1.5 hours), and then a short nap in the late afternoon/early evening if she's been up for awhile. She still puts herself to sleep, but she does sometimes struggle with that third nap and I'll end up putting her in the swing.
- We no longer swaddle at all. Which means no more cute stretches when she wakes up in the morning :(
- She rarely cries. Really the only time she does is when kept up past her bedtime. And sometimes she gets a little overwhelmed when we're around our friends.
- She likes it when I sing. Seriously. It can calm her down when she does get upset. Favorites include "You Are My Sunshine" and "If You're Happy and You Know It".
- She loves to chew on her toes! Especially when I'm trying to change her diaper.
- Really, she loves to chew on anything... her teethers, Sophie, rattle, links, high chair, seat belt, fingers, bottom lip, burp cloth, clothes, my arm...
- I check every day to see if she has a tooth poking through but nothing yet. I don't think so anyway. It is very difficult to get a good look in her mouth.
- She has rolled over from her back to tummy twice, and she is still rolling over from tummy to back all the time.
- She sits very well when supported but lasts maybe 10 seconds at the most when unsupported.
- She has started shaking her head back and forth. Jason and I find it hilarious.
- She squeals and "talks" quite a bit. Every now and then she'll throw in a new "word."
- She eats 5 times a day. Still no food other than breast milk. I'm thinking we'll start cereal in a couple weeks...
- She is wearing 6 months clothes. Some things fit her perfect and some things are a little big.
I could really go on and on, but Harper needs to eat before I leave for bunco!
