Melanie at 5 Months

Monday Melanie turned 5 months.  I attempted to take some pictures of her in the morning.

 She didn't smile a whole lot

 But she was pretty tired

 After running errands in the morning she did this for about 3 hours

Part of me wonders if she was constipated from the mashed potatoes

 Eventually she settled down, and I took some pictures of her before bedtime

At 5 months old Melanie:

• can roll over front to back and back to front but always the same direction
• takes 3-4 naps a day
• eats about every 3 hours - even through the night :P
• loves to smile at everyone
• has a great squeaky laugh when she finds something is hilarious
• doesn't fall asleep in the car for short trips (less than 20 minutes) unless it's nap time
• doesn't have much hair (with Amy I could put pig tails in her hair at this age)
• can reach for toys and grasp them
• puts everything in her mouth
• can take the binky out of her mouth, but doesn't always get it back in the right way 
• loves tummy time
• loves baths since I started bathing her with Amy in the tub
• sometimes rolls over when going to sleep
• loves diaper changes
• wants to be entertained
• doesn't like being alone
• is generally really happy - as long as there are people around to interact with her
• has eaten a little solid food, but not regularly
• weighs about 15 lbs
•
