5 months old, can it be?

I am in complete shock that my baby is already 5 months old. It has gone so quickly! Even more so than when Oliver was a baby.

Evie at 5 months is still a happy, smiley girl, only ever crying when she gets tired. She is rolling both ways, and yesterday rolled half way across the living room! She is starting to get up on all 4's, and can scoot backwards; but still cannot figure out how to go forward. She gets a bit frustrated about it, but I'm pretty sure she will be full on crawling in the next month! She is also close to sitting on her own. She can sit unsupported on our laps, but still tips over if placed on the floor. She is getting stronger though.

Starting solids has also been interesting. She started on oatmeal about a week after she turned 4 months. We started with about 2 tablespoons once a day. She is the MESSIEST eater, and didn't really love it at first. At 5 months we started adding veggies into the mix, and now in the am she gets an ounce of oatmeal mixed with an ounce of veggies. She is liking it much better, and almost always eats it all! Now if we can get her to stop putting her hands and feet in her mouth in between bites, we will be in business.

Evie still adores Oliver and always has a big smile for him and for us. She has the sweetest little laugh, and still loves to chew on her feet. She continues to be super drooly. She is still getting up once in the middle of the night to eat; and still nurses 6-7 times a day. She has taken to sleeping on her tummy, and if you are holding her when she is asleep, she likes to bury her face in your arm.

5 months old, January 2, 2011 Heads up!
She was intent on eating the sticker off the front of her onesie...
See, I can use a spoon!
