If I have said it once, I've said it 1000x...It just goes by so fast!! Evie Joy is 5 months old and more fun than ever!
Height/Weight: She 25 inches long and 17.2 lbs! I hope think she's slowing down, she's getting impossible to carry in her car seat, but I'm grateful she's a healthy, growing girl!!
Sleep: I could write a whole post about this, and actually I think I will. I'm just going to say it...the whole sleeping thing isn't working for our girl. I have a some ideas as to why but I think I will wait when we go back to the doctor next month (if we don't end up there sooner). I don't think she won't sleep, I think it's more that she CAN'T. It's just very hard on her, meaning it's hard on everyone in the Roberts household. But I'm determined to get answers..sooner rather than later.
Eating: Where she lacks in sleep she makes up for in eating. She's the best little nursing baby..she will eat for about 10 minutes on one side every 3-4 hours. We also started her on rice cereal last week, and it's been going great! She's learned how to use the spoon very quickly, and big sissy loves to help feed her, she will get her cereal, spoon, and bowl out too. (:
Sizes: Evie Joy is into pretty much all 9-month clothing. Some random 6-month stuff fits her but once it’s washed it’s too tight so I’ve been buying her all 9 months to make sure it fits for a while, even if it's a little loose on her now. Right now I’m loving her in leggings, chunky sweaters, and graphic tees. I still can't find the right shoes to fit her..
Milestones: She's basically mobile in my opinion. Girlfriend scoots and wiggles around all over the place, she's almost sitting up on her own. She will do it for a little bit but tips over, she can sit up and use her arms to hold her up! Which is good because that means she's working those arm muscles, and she definitely needs to do that. Those chunky arms is what kept her from rolling over to her back..but she's got it now!!
Personality: As long as the babe is not tired or hungry she is happy happy happy! Her sad faces just kill me though. She will cry and then see me and start puckering that bottom lip out. Oh that's going to get us in trouble ;) She loves to play especially with Elliana, and in her little walker.
Memorable Moment: We have started her on cereal and have moved her to the crib! She was sleeping her rock n play sleeper, but has outgrown that. It will be interesting to see how this goes ;) Hoping at her next check up we will figure out her sleep issues and move her to her room with big sister! She also love the rice cereal! First time I gave it to her she took the spoon away from me!
