5 Months

Wow!  Where did the time go?????  Carmen turned 5 months old on Sunday!   

I will post more pictures tonight.  (The picture at the bottom is one I took this morning with my phone while getting ready).

What is new with Carmen?

Carmen...

... weighs  16 lbs 11 oz the last time we weighed her a few weeks ago at the dr.
... wears size 3 diapers and some 6-month clothes slowly growing into the 6-9 months.

... loves to eat.   She takes 3 bottles at daycare and recently started taking one bowl of cereal at daycare.  She isn't taking the cereal as well at home anymore but is starting to eat applesauce and bananas.  .

... is doing pretty well at daycare.  We had a few rough weeks where she wouldn't eat well or sleep well at daycare.  They thought she might've had an ear infection so she went to the dr, but it was just a cold and teething.

...loves her baths.  She is splashing around much more and always wants to eat the washcloth. :-)

.. just started screaming instead of talking.  It's pretty cute.

...is laughing and smiling a Lot!  We are so grateful to have such a happy girl!

…sleeps pretty well at night.  Mommy needs to be more patient in the middle of the night when she cries/fusses, but overall is doing well.

Happy 5 Months Carmen!

Mommy and Daddy love you more and more every day!
