Burkleigh Ann is 5 months old..

Oh my goodness.. you just keep getting cuter and cuter!!
You are just the funniest and sweetest little thing!

Here's what you are up too:
*You constantly have that mouth open and you are making lots more sounds.   You give lots of good wet kisses and you love to laugh.


*You are blowing bubbles and making the funniest sound.  You do it a lot.  It makes us laugh. You love when I sing to you and your favorite song is Patty Cake.  You just laugh and open that mouth wide! 

*You are sitting up and you love it!!  You have always been very observant so you LOVE to just sit up and look around.  


*You love your toes and you are constantly holding on to them or sucking on your toe!

*You sleep on your side or tummy now. I put you in your bed when you're awake and you lay there for a bit but then you start grabbing your toes and rolling all over the place.  You talk yourself to sleep a lot of the time.  But, you don't fuss at all when I put you in there.  You go right to sleep.  I'm soo thankful for that.  I was worried you were going to fight sleep but you don't anymore.  I think you love your bed!  You usually take 3 good naps and all three are in your bed unless we're out and about.  You sleep about 2 hours in the am.  About an hour around lunch and then 2 more hours in the afternoon.  You have turned into the BEST little sleeper!  
*You are such a happy girl now and it makes me SO happy.  You still take your reflux meds but I think it is getting so much better!  You drink about 4-5 oz of breastmilk during the day (every3-4 hrs) and usually will drink around 6oz before you go to bed.  Your last bottle is around 6pm-7pm and you sleep till around 5am and then go right back till around 7 or 8am.  The time change threw us for a bit but your doing better!
*You have always loved your bath but now you are wanting to sit up and play instead of lay down.  

*You tried your new jumpy toy just a few days ago and you liked it. Its in the kitchen so you got to hang out in that while I was cooking dinner.  You just watched me and Oscar.
 
*Your sophie giraffe is by far your favorite toy and you LOVE her!
 
*You've had cereal several times and you love it.  You've also tried applesauce and pears.  I just gave you pears today.  You liked it.  I'm going to start giving you more food now.  We'll see what you think about that.  


 *You got your first little cold this month after we got back from halloween in Ohio.  This weather sure doesn't help.. one day its 75 and the next day its 40.. Got to love Alabama.

*Diapers: Size 2
*Clothes: 3 months
*You are starting to lose some of your hair and it's getting lighter too.  You have a little bald spot on the side of your head and it makes you look like your pops.  =)

* You are a little wiggle worm.  You can roll both ways now and I have a feeling you'll be on the move real soon.
4 months
5 months..
* I am loving this little stage in your life.  You are such a joy to us and I love to see you grow and change each month.
*I'll have to update on your weight soon. We don't have a scale and I'm not sure how much you weigh now.  We go back to the dr at 6 months.
We love you little bit!
