Hayden: 5 months

What's Happening with Hayden

Weight: 15 lbs., 8 oz.
Length: ???

Milestones: Well, I guess all good things must come to an end...that rock star sleeper I was bragging about last month?? She's nowhere to be found. Instead I have a sweet little cutie who wakes up a LOT, every night. She usually just wants her binky, but she can't seem to get the hang of grabbing it herself. She does have 1-2 bottles each night as well, depending on whether she goes right back to sleep or not.

She still cries when I leave her at Irene's, but we're learning how to fake her out. I've stopped taking her out of her carseat before I leave--Irene does it so I don't have to actually hand her off. That seems to be helping with the tears.

Hayden rolled over from her tummy to her back! She's only done it a few times, but she's good at it! She also tried rice cereal for the first time this month. She's not very impressed. She humors me for a few bites every time we try it, but then she makes it clear that she's done.

Baby girl found her feet and they are FUN! Every time she's on her back, the feet go straight up in the air or in her mouth. YUM.  I love this age :).

Favorite activities: Being held, sucking on her toes, playing with her feet and watching her brother.

Least favorite activities: Missing her binky at night.

Misc. update: Tummy troubles are getting lots better. She's wearing 3-6 month clothes and size 2 diapers. We think she's starting to teethe, as she's drooling lots (see her shirt above) and chewing on her hands/fingers all the time.
