5 Months

Another month has gone by so quickly! Haley is getting more active all the time and maybe we are turning a corner on sleeping a little bit more, but she is still stubborn about taking a bottle. Please pray she will start to take a bottle soon, because in a few weeks I will start working a few days a month and she will have no other choice!

Haley started this month in the nursery at Bible Study Fellowship, she is talking too much to be in class with me anymore. She has done really well in there and the teachers just love her! She also made her first trip down to my grandmmother's farm, roughing it! haha!

STATS

Weight: 14 lbs

Height: 25 1/2 inches

Head: 16

Diapers: Size 2

Shoes: Size 1 ( tiny feet)

Clothes: 6 months

Feeding: She eats every 2 1/2 to 3 hrs during day. Maybe takes around 3 to 4oz each feeding. Then eats at least once, but mostly twice still during the night. We have attempted rice cereal and she is so not a fan.

Sleep: She has been going 6 hrs straight then wakes up again 3 hrs later. So her normal routine is go to sleep around 7, I give her a "dream feed" around 9 or so before I go to bed, then she wakes up around 3 or 330, then sleeps til 630 or so. These are the good nights.

Activity: This month has been the biggest change. She can move things from one hand to another, then of course to the mouth. She can pick bigger objects up and then go straight to the mouth. Loves to play in exersaucer and jump jump and boy can she jump! She has some strong legs! Just recently she has started to roll over and now is trying to pull those knees under her, so i would not be surprised if she is up on all fours by 6 months.

Teeth: none to be seen, but she can drool and chew on everything!

Katelyn is still great with her, but now we are really having to watch what Katelyn is playing with or maybe share with Haley because all is going to her mouth. We are also starting to try to teach Katelyn about these small toys and she needs to keep them away from Haley. At times though katelyn likes to test the water with when Haley is napping or feeding. She likes to be loud at these times, especially because she doesnt take naps that often anymore, it can be a challenge.




She can pull it all by herself and play the music!
