5 months old!

Such a big girl. She's mastered rolling from back to front and front to back. She grabs for things and puts everything in her mouth. Majority of time she sleeps in her sleep sack and doesn't need her swaddle although sometimes she needs it to help her settle down otherwise she rolls all over the place. We sometimes find her head at the opposite end of the crib. She loves to sleep with her paci and a miniature soft snuggle blankie, lying on her tummy. She's very interested in eating and loves to watch us eat. At about 5 1/2 months we can introduce her to cereal. We sometimes find her on her hands and knees. Oh boy, it won't be long before she's crawling. She's been on a four hour schedule since 4 months old. She eats every 4 hrs and usually sleeps 2 hrs before her next feeding. She basically dropped two feedings b/c she no longer needed her 10pm dream feed. She slept from about 8:15 to 7am. Since she didn't really make up for her dropped feedings by eating more at each feeding a couple weeks ago I added the 10pm dream feed back in. The doctor thought it was a good idea since her weight is on the low side. What a great eater and sleeper she continues to be and for that we're so thankful. What a joy she is. Here are some pictures of a nap with daddy.
