5 Month Milestones

It's always so bittersweet to write the monthly milestones because it seems to come so fast. My newborn isn't a newborn at all anymore.

This is one of my favorite onesies, it's so soft and the little chick has on cow girl boots
(very shabby chic). So, I'm really not a fashion expert but I've been noticing that wearing leggings under the onesie is in style for babies I guess. Well, here we are trying to be stylish today. (I think it looks a little funny though) I can hear Paul tonight when he sees her, "Why is her pants under her onesie?? That looks funny, Courtney." Then he will change it around when he changes her diaper. Ha!


Weight 15.5 lbs (on our home scales, I always say they say you weigh more than you actually do :)

She is wearing 6 month clothes

Wearing size 2 diapers

Rolling from belly to back (can't seem to get all the way over from back to belly)

Talking alot, laughing, and giggles

She gets shy around people when they talk to her and she hides her face on our shoulder

She likes her new exersaucers and she has figured out how to spin the seat around for the activities

She has learned which toys make sounds and has figured out how to pull or press to make it do the noise.

Still sleeping great (mostly from 9 to 6:30) ~ Naps vary (sometimes several 15-30minute naps and sometime she will sleep for a couple of hours) But it doesn't really affect her night sleep.

Eating dinner from a spoon, we have tried cereal, squash and green beans so far. I think she likes the spoon more than the food.

Eating 6-7 ozs of formula at a time

Hair is coming in a little bit, but not enough for bows yet (yes, I'm aware of the band bows but we just aren't fans of them on her) But, they are precious on some children!

Her eyes really haven't changed much, kinda brownish greenish ( I think I just created that new color)

She is too cute! I loved reading about what she's doing - it reminds me so much of when Dawson was that little. It's amazing how fast time flies. She sounds like an overachiever to me! :)
