April 5 months old

Our sweet little baby is already 5 months old! She is sitting up unassisted for short periods of times, does long stretches of tummy time, and even can move herself 180 degrees in the opposite direction moving on her tummy. April loves people and especially her sister's busy toddler antics. Her body wiggles non-stop and she is very interested in texture. She can be found scratching whatever is in reach, our bedspread, the exersaucer, her sisters back/hair/face (which usually doesn't last long as Bethany is still faster!). You are so laid back and easy going but when you want our attention you know how to give a good screech!

Sleeping at night is still a struggle, but you have finally given us one 6.5 hour stretch this week! It was preceeded by waking every hour for daddy the night before and followed by waking every 2 hours, but we'll take what we can get!

At her 6 month appointment we'll get stats again, but my guess is she is leveling out a bit in weight. After starting rice cereal a few weeks ago she isn't demanding as much milk and I'm sad to report that her cute cheeks aren't as chubby as they once were!

More pictures to come when I get a chance, but wanted to get her monthly onsie in close to the 5 month mark!
