5 months old


Dear Baby Bird,


Things you like:
Chewing on anything you can get to your mouth! You also drool a lot lately, so I think maybe a tooth is in the works.
Eating! You now eat rice cereal or oatmeal up to three times a day, and have had prunes mixed in, too. You take 2-3 bottles of formula each day. At first you would cry if anyone besides mom fed you, but now you will let anyone feed you.
Laughing at Brother, Mom, Dad, and anyone else who can do something funny. You also smile at everyone.
Being upright, either in the jumperoo, sitting/standing on someone's lap, or sitting up. You like the highchair.

Things you don't like:
Going down for naps, but after a few minutes of protest, you fall asleep. You don't stay asleep for more than an hour, usually, though.
Feeling ignored. You will play by yourself for a while, but once you are done, you want us to get you right away.
When we don't feed you fast enough. You cry when the cereal runs out, or if I take too long to get the spoon to you.
Being on your belly for very long. You can roll back to front, but then not back, so you get mad.



You also have a new milestone... you can sit unassisted for short times. So proud!
 
Love,
Mom
