5 months!!!!

where does the time go?  my baby is not feeling so little anymore!  today she is officially 5 months old and there's lots of new things going on in her world!

bowie milestones...

~can roll from back to tummy on both sides (been doing this for about 3 weeks now)
~trying really hard to crawl
~trys to hold her own bottle
~loves her jumperoo toy
~is interested in her reflection in mirror
~holds rattle and shakes it
~taking a solid morning nap and sometimes a decent afternoon nap
~4 month sleep regression has hit us hard last month and we are still going through it.  having a hard time going to bed at night without being held or rocked (this is new).  sometimes need an extra feeding at night and has been waking up extra early!
~in size 6 month clothes and size 3 diapers as of a couple of weeks ago
~belly laughs
~drools a lot and everything goes in her mouth
~crazy about daddy.  her face lights up when she sees his face or hears his voice.
~little hair left, but the new roots are coming in light
~eyes are still blue, but sometimes look green with specks of brown and yellow
~likes holding onto a "lovey"
~is very interested in the hand motions we use when we do baby sign language or when i sing her a song with hand gestures

~still breastfeeding and pumping, although it only makes up a small portion of her diet, i am still doing it as long as i possibly can
~started painting
~started doing 2 baby books for her
~planning our trip home in october, this will be the first time bowie will fly!
