Five months old!!!

Caroline...today you are five months old!! Time goes by so fast, we have had a busy past couple of months. Which is why I accidentally skipped your 4 month post...I'm going to try to be better at doing it every month. You have had lots of first the past two months. You had your first Thanksgiving, first Christmas, first taste of cereal, juice, formula, and sweet potatoes. You were a little hesitant of the cereal at first, but loved the sweet potatoes from the first bite. I think you are going to love food as much as the rest of us. At your 4 month appointment, which was two weeks late....you were 251/2 in. long and weighed 14 pounds. Dr. MacLeod said you were just perfect, and I agree!! You are still such a good baby most of the time. Although lately you are learning how to turn the crying on and off very quickly to get what you want....like being held! I can't get over how alert you are, you will stare a hole in the wall. My favorite time of the day with you is in the morning. When you wake up you will stay in your bed probably 15 minutes just talking. I love to listen to you on the monitor. When I go in your room, you get so excited when you see me and just grin from ear to ear. You make us work to get a smile or laugh from you most of the time, Will gets most of them. You think he is soooo funny. He loves to make you laugh!! We are still working on the nap thing, you were doing okay and taking a good afternoon nap, then you got a bad cold last week and stopped the nap and also stopped sleeping good at night. One night you woke up probably 10 times!! Last night you slept till five and you have been asleep now for about two hours, so I'm hoping you're getting back to normal. Your little personality is developing more and more everyday, and I just can't wait to see what the next day will bring!!
