5 Months Old


 
Now look what Natalie can do at 5 months!
  • Holds/plays with her feet when laying down
  • Is ticklish and gives us a half squeal/giggle when we tickle her belly and armpits
  • Starts to use her ab muscles to try and sit up when in the bouncer or being held cradle style
  • When laying down, she lifts her butt and uses her feet to scoot backwards
  • Is SO close to rolling from her back to tummy (twists but never fully rolls)
  • Eats 1/2 jar of baby food a night, or rice cereal.  Has had peas, green beans, carrots, squash, and sweet potatoes.  Her favorite is sweet potatoes and cereal!
  • Now has about 5-6 bottle feedings a day with 5-6 oz each time, and lately, 8 oz at the bedtime feeding!
  • Has an intense interest in the dogs - especially Rudy
  • Starting to fight naptime (uh oh)
  • Can now get very mad (and thus very red in the face)
  • Has different smiles - a very sweet small smile, a sneaky smile with the nose scrunched up, and a huge grin (gums and all)
  • Is the strongest baby her age in her class and is the only one who can stand (assisted of course)
  • Puts everything in her mouth - including the carseat seatbelts (Teething?)
