daley seems to be growing leaps and bounds these days. i swear the pants i put on her this morning were big on her last week! we had her 5 month check-up last monday, and she is doing great. she is perfectly proportional falling into the 50-75% on all accounts (head, height & weight). we had started some solids a couple weeks ago, but then she got sick and wanted nothing to do with them. we have recently become more routine with them, and while she tolerates them, she is much more interested in the world around her. nothing like a certain big brother who we couldn't get the food in fast enough with!
just for my own notes, here is a list of what we have tried thus far:
rice, oatmeal & multi-grain cereal
sweet potatoes, butternut squash & banana
for the first time today she ate the multi-grain, up until this point she would spit it back out, and funnily enough her favorite so far has been the squash!?
she is still enamored with her toes, and her favorite spot to get them is on the changing table where she can pretty much get her whole foot in her mouth!? i'll teach her how that's not so ladylike at some point;) she also loves her jumper these days. she will jump and yell with excitement--it reminds me of jack at her age, only jack was a bit more daring swinging back and forth! she is able to sit unassisted for about 5 seconds. she hasn't figured out that she can't just lunge forward for an object and still expect not to topple over! finally, she wants to "go" in the worst way. she's like a fish out of water flailing on the floor-her arms and legs going in all directions, but she never actually gets anywhere! she gets a bit frustrated by it, but then remembers she can roll and works her way around a bit that way. i'm more than happy to have her slow down on the development. i think with two kids life seems to fly by a little more quickly, and we're already approaching her 1/2 birthday:(
