I'm 5 Months Old Today! I weigh around 16 pounds and I'm exactly 27 inches tall. Some of my hobbies include: tummy time, screeching, throwing my rattles and dolls (and watching my parents pick them up for me), playing with my new Rainforest Bouncy Seat Mobile, blowing loud raspberries, watching my doggie Lexie run around me and sniff me, smiling for the camera (especially Mommy's cell phone camera), smiling at random strangers who smile at me, playing with my hair, pulling on dangly things--especially other people's hair, sitting up (with my bouncy chair or pillows to prop me up), bending to stretch and touch my toes, standing (with my parent's assistance) and getting really excited and laughing out loud. I'm also beginning to put my rattles and organic cotton dolls in my mouth. Last week was the last time my parents swaddled me before bedtime and to their surprise, I still slept through the entire night for 9 hours straight! I am a good baby. (giggle) I had already taken my day naps "swaddle free" for one month now. Mommy is planning on starting me on solids this week. She bought Earth's Best Organic Rice Cereal for my first meal, but plans on pureeing organically grown vegetables and fruits for me for my First Foods. She is really doing her part to "Raise me Green" and a healthy diet is part of that plan.
I've outgrown the use of my binky/pacifier and haven't used it since I was 4 months old. I never liked it. I would always make a face to let my parents know that I didn't like the taste. They experimented with different brands, but nothing really stuck. Using my Born Free Binky helped soothe me the first couple of months, I would use it only at bedtime to help me fall asleep.
Well, that's my update. Please let us know how you're doing!
