Genesis at 5 months

Five months already, I know I say this every month, but it really is going by way TOOOO fast!

Genesis at 5 Months:

- weighs 18 lbs. 3 oz.

- is 27 inches long

- wears size 4 disposable diapers (they are a little too big, but no more leaks!)

- is wearing 6-12 month clothing, and some 9 month clothing and some 12 month clothing (no more 6 month clothing)

- has two teeth and is working on some more (she is not a good teether)!

- is sleeping worse than ever. This past month has been horrible!! She is up every two hours!

- started solids and loves her cereal, hates fruit and loves her veggies. She was so ready, but unfortunately it is not helping with the sleeping!!

- Is trying to crawl! She rolls all over the place and she is now going up on her knees. She also does the worm quite well and pulls herself forward (too fast---ahhhhh I am not ready for this!).

- Is still our little smiley monkey. She is such a happy baby!

- Loves her bathtime still.

- Is finally on some sort of a schedule during the day. Naps in the morning around 10 and then in the afternoon around 2:00. (our afternoon naps are still all over the place as that is generally when we go out and have play dates or shopping, errands, etc.)

- Loves her big brother and he adores her. They are so stinkin cute together!

- Doesn't want to be in her exersaucer anymore. :o(

- Likes stories and loves when we sing songs.

- Loves our prayer time---she just smiles and giggles the whole time when her brother says his prayers.

- Is very vocal lately.

- Adores her daddy and gets so excited when he comes home.

- LOVES her Jolly Jumper and could spend all day in it. She is crazy and she gets air in the thing!

- Is starting to get massive amounts of hair. Ok, she has always had hair, but it has really started to come in now and fill in those bald spots! :o)

- Is starting to get angry when we take a toy away or when she can't have something that she thinks she should have.

- We have had to let her cry it out a couple of times now as she is a little spoiled and the minute we walk out the door she loses it. You step back in and she is fine--silly monkey!

- Had a playdate with her friend Hannah and her brother Michael. Hannah and Genesis hung out in the exersauces together. It was cute and we both forgot our cameras! :o(
