5 Months Old

Emmy is 5 months old today!  She now weighs 13 pounds 14 ounces and is 25 inches long   We don't like to compare much, but we looked back and Reese was the same weight and height at this age.



Here are some of Emmy's current "tricks":
- She has rolled over just a few times from both back to front and front to back.  Every time she was very proud of herself, so I hope she starts doing this more often.
- She still doesn't like tummy time, but is starting to tolerate it as long as we entertain her with toys, singing, and cheering her on.
- I think she's close to sitting up on her own. Her abs seem to be very strong and she really likes that position.
- She likes to laugh, and it's the best sound in the world.  She really squeals when you blow on or tickle her tummy or neck.
- She's really starting to interact with Reese and loves watching her sister.  I'm sure this will continue to increase, and I can't wait because it's adorable.
- She likes her rice cereal most days, but some days she has no interest.  I'm excited to try different foods, but think we'll wait until after her 6 month well visit with the pediatrician.
- She refuses to take a bottle or pacifier.  We really need to work on the bottle because I would like to be able to have a little time to myself and with friends...  and I suppose I should go back to work soon, too!  So far we have tried 5 different bottles/nipples, and she's not even slightly interested in any of them.  The next thing I'm going to try is a sippy cup specifically designed for little babies 4 months and up.  Wish us luck!
