Madeline at 5 Months



 Madeline is 5 months old today! Let's break it down:

Weight
Birth: 7 pounds 13 ounces
Now: probably around 20lbs...we've got a big baby

Special talents
Grabbing your feet (we were afraid you wouldn't be flexible enough to do that)
Sitting up on your own
Eating whole apples and bananas (with help)
Laughing hysterically at the dog
Being generally cute

Crying
You cry when you get hurt, like when  you fall down from a sitting position. You still cry before you go to sleep most of the time. You also whine when you don't get enough attention.

Sleep
You are a good scheduled sleeper...I can tell what time it is by when you get sleepy.  You nap 3-4 times a day and you go to bed by 6:30 or 7:00. You wake up a few times at night, but are awake for the day at 6.

Dislikes
Rolling over...that's for babies; going to bed; not getting food in your mouth fast enough

Likes
All of the animals, especially Allie; anything you can eat; raspberries on your belly; things that are within your reach; drinking water from your glass

Firsts
Eating lots and lots of foods--you've had rice, oats, apples, bananas, avocado, squash, and peas
Sitting up without help
Laughing, really laughing

And for a look down memory lane:
