Watch Me Grow...5 months!


5 Months! Check out those thighs!

Seriously...time is flying! It seems like only yesterday Maria was sleeping in swaddlers and napped all the time! :-)

So what is our little peanut up to these days?

*Maria will get her weight and height checked at her 6 month doctor appointment...I am guessing she is around 17 pounds! My chunky monkey still has her big cheeks...and even bigger thighs!!
*She wears size 6 month clothes in everything but onesies. She is 3-6 month for onesies, and a few of her 3-6 month outfits still fit just fine!
*She moved into size 3 diapers this past week!
*Maria drools a lot! We have a bib on at all times!
*Maria continues to sleep through the night. She takes a 45 min nap in the morning, an hour to two hour nap after lunch time, and two more cat naps in the late afternoon.
*Maria is now on the bottle completely (as of this week). My milk supply dwindled and she was not getting enough and not enough food equals a grumpy little Maria. She eats 4 ounces in the morning when she wakes up (around 8), 4 oucnes at 2/3, and 4 ounces around 5/6. She eats 4-6 ounces with oatmeal or rice mixed in around 8:30. At her 11/1130 feeding she has baby food! This was also just started recently. She has tried squash, sweet potatoes, and peas. She does not like the peas...AT ALL!
*On June 12, Maria got her first tooth! She has been teething soooo bad since then...she vomits a lot more after eating, and she has been running a little fever the last two days. She is still her sweet little self despite being in pain! What a trooper!
*Maria LOVES her thumb...she is one cute thumb sucker!
*Maria prefers to be left alone in her swing or crib to fall asleep.
*Maria is really into her cold and frozen teethers! She also loves her fake ring, her keys, and her baby doll blanket!
*Maria likes to fall asleep to her Violet playing soft music to her!
*Maria LOVES to watch Greg. She laughs the hardest when he is running around her. Sadly, the affection is only one way...Greg is pretty much just tolerating her existence at this point!
*Maria loves to be in her Exersaucer!
*She is very good with reaching and grabbing toys and holding onto them!
*Maria is sitting up without assistance for short periods of time. She still falls over when reaching for objects that are not in front of her.
*She loves to be in the car and has no issues being in the car seat or stroller!
*Maria goes with the flow and is so pleasant when we are out and about.
*She pushes her legs under when on her belly...I'm hoping crawling holds off...not sure I am ready for two moving babies!
*Maria LOVES bath time! She is such a splasher and just moves her arms and legs nonstop when in the tub!
*Her smile and laugh melt my heart!
*Maria loves to be in the ball pit!
*She loves to eat her toes!!

We are just so in love with Maria. It is such a blessing to be her parents! She is so sweet, always in a good mood, and rarely fusses! She is our little angel and we fall more and more in love with her and her sweet personality each day!
Hanging with her duck!
Ball pit fun!
:-)
Greg occasionally likes to check her out and make sure she is okay...or not playing with anything that is his!
Big girl on the slide!
Pretty!
