5 Months Old

Genevieve, you're FIVE months old!
What are you up to?

• You weigh almost 15 pounds.
• You are 24 3/4 inches long.
• You are still wearing a size 3 diaper.
• You are wearing size 3-6 months clothing.
  
• You love to talk. And by talk, I mean YELL! Apparently, you are in love with the sound of your voice. I can't blame you though; I'm in love with it too!
• You've been in daycare for about a month now. You have already learned so much just by watching the other children. After five days in daycare, you finally figured out how to hold your head up while you are on your tummy.
• Now that you know I'm not trying to suffocate you when I put you on your tummy, you are trying really hard to roll over. You are almost there!
• Your eyes are still big, beautiful, and blue!
• You no longer have to be swaddled to go to sleep. Now you get to wear the cute footed pajamas since you aren't snuggled up in a blanket.
• I am amazed at how much you have developed over the past month!
• You are seriously teething now. Mommy and Daddy aren't getting much sleep because of it, but I imagine it is much more annoying for you.
• You are extremely ticklish...especially on your little bottom!
• You make Mommy and Daddy laugh and smile everyday.
• You love eating rice cereal as long as it is the kind with mixed fruit in it.
• You love watching the bright colors on TV.
• You love looking at yourself in the mirror. There's always a very pretty little girl staring back at you!
  
• Blue's Clues is awesome! You love your new friend, Steve. You have grand conversations with him.
  
• We can't believe how much you've grown.
• We love you more than words can say!
