5 Months!

Babycakes is 5 Months Old!  And as Jordan would say…that’s almost 6 months! :)

                    

All of the sudden, it seems like our little girl isn’t such a little baby anymore.  Now she has even MORE personality in her little body!  Here are some of her latest tricks:

-Amelia-Jayne loves to smile at strangers in the grocery store…her favorite demographic right now seems to be old men.  I think she misses her Papi!

-This girl can sit…and roll…and roll into things, off of things and under things.  I don’t know how she does it…because she usually gets into trouble when we’re out of the room (ie: rolling into the sharp end of the rocker) and only rolls once when we’re with her. She also has this funny little butt bridge she does when she’s on her tummy…it helps her do her little army crawl scooch.

-She sleeps all the way through the night and is usually pretty dang happy to see us in the morning.

-If you tickle her neck, feet or sides she has this funny old man giggle.

-Babycakes has been eating like a champ now for a week.  It took her about two whole feedings of rice cereal before she got the hang of swallowing…now she leans into the food, tries to grab it (usually successfully at least once or twice) and gets upset if we take too long to get the spoon in her mouth….You would think this girl’s been eating for years now.

-She likes to take out her bows, kick off her shoes and pull of her socks (and giggles while doing it.  Notice the pictures above).  She also LOOOOOOOOOVES to spit up ALL over herself anytime I give her a bath and get her (or me) dressed all the way.  I’ve been questioning why I get us dressed at all the last few weeks.  Her favorite time to do all of these things simultaneously happens to be Sunday mornings…last Sunday she even managed to dump the bucket of soapy water from her sponge bath all over my living room carpet…Church is starting to get a little more eventful each Sunday. :)  She is still a great baby, she’s just learning that she can do SO many things! 

Good thing she’s so dang cute. :)
