Sitting is soooo last week!

She absolutely will not sit on your lap anymore, she has to STAND UP! She doesn't like being still in any position. When laying down she rolls over or she scoots forward on her tummy, when she's in her excersaucer she spins around. Her greatest torture is having to sit in her car seat for more than a few minutes. I have a feeling she will follow in Jake's footsteps and be walking at nine months. Look out world!

Sound of the week

Not much to report in the fifth month. She's learning to use her hands more and she loves to stare at them in amazement. She also likes to stuff them in her mouth until she gags! It's hard to watch, but she will do it over and over again. Like everything else she learns, I know this will lose it's appeal and she'll move on to something else in no time. Her favorite sound to make at the moment is "aaaaahhhhh" with her tongue sticking out. She's done with the raspberries already...that was the messy one!

A rare moment

Jake was having a rare moment of interest in the baby. He usually doesn't pay her much notice. But on this day, snuggled up in their jammies, he wanted to give her some love.

so far so good

Well, our little peanut passed her four month check-up with flying colors. I'm beginning to think this preemie thing is not an issue! The real test will be when she has her developmental assessment at six months. We'll be taking her to a specialist at a children's therapy center which was recommended both by her doctor and by the hospital where she was born.

Here are her stats for now:

11 lbs 14 1/2 oz-10-25th percentile

24 3/4 in-75th percentile

She's still rolling, and getting upset about it. =) Like I said, it's a compulsion!

Rolling over...

...and over...and over. Six days before she turns four months old, she started rolling over and now she won't stop! It's like a compulsion, she can't stop doing it even when she's crying. She doesn't especially like being on her tummy, but she'll roll onto her tummy the second you lay her down on her back. Needless to say, naptimes are going to be lots of fun, at least until she learns to roll herself back the other way.

It's her first really big milestone and it's fun to watch! Now I just want to hear her laugh!

Wanna see my new trick?

I love to blow bubbles all day!

That sleeping through the night thing was short lived. It was on and off for about a week, but now she's back to waking at night to eat. Oh well, such is the life of a three month old!

Three months old today!

No new milestones to report, we're still waiting for that first giggle! She's sleeping a lot longer at night now, up to seven hours, but it's not consistant.

We had one day of nice weather and we're back to freezing cold and hail. Ugghh. I really want to take the kids to the park or for walks on a daily basis. At least they're too young to know any better, I think next year Jake is going to complain a lot more.
