5 months old!! Already!!!





five months ago Shanwtel and I were sitting in the hospital waiting for Oli's arrival and now here we are watching her roll around, scream and puke up 2 ounces of every 6 ounce bottle we give her. Maybe I should try the old "no activity for 45 minutes after eating", which I always thought that that was an excuse for adults to have one more cold beverage in peace before having to make sure I don't run out in traffic or put my fingers into a light socket. After Oli eats she is ready to jump right down and start running wide open, if she could I think she would. Instead I burp her and we lay down on the floor with the tummy time mat and she rolls every where puking here and puking there. I can't wait for her to be able to use her jumperoo. We've been putting her in it with something under her feet but she stands there as to say now what. I did put her in yesterday and still had to use the booster but she kicked around and played with the toys on it, so now she just needs to stretch. We started feeding her rice cereal in the evening time and she makes the craziest faces if I leave a chunk and she eats it. I make the same face when I eat a pancake that has flour pockets in it, yuck. When we're done the cereal seems to find its way into her hair, nose, clothes and all over the tray. We're getting better though. I fed her yesterday and I guess I wasn't moving fast enough for her so she started to slurp up what was spilled on the tray. Shawntel gives her an extra spoon to hold on to while she's eating so she doesn't grab at her spoon she says it works pretty good.
