Mastering her skills by leaps and bounds. 5 months already

     It feels like she just got here and already, overnight, she is mastering skill after skill. She has perfect control of small objects in her hands. Unless her pacifier is stuck under her, she can find it and get it anywhere in her crib. (along with burp cloths that she likes to pull over her face.) She sleeps best with a blanket over her face which I don’t really like but puts her to sleep and keeps her asleep. I can tuck her blanket around her and come in to check on her and find it all up around her head.
     I watched her playing on her playmate yesterday. She turned completely around in a circle on her back trying to get to her baby. Struggling to flip over. She will be turning over by the end of the week.
     She is interested in whatever mom has in her hands now. As long as she was on my lap this weekend, texting on my phone was impossible. She kept grabbing it until I gave up. It won’t be long before I am pulling the cell phone out of her hands.
     I found the secret to keeping her occupied while I’m trying to get ready for the day. I propped her up on a pillow on my bed and turned spout on the TV. I know she is a little young for TV but at least it is educational and whatever gets us through! The only problem with that is that she does not know how to sit back and relax anymore. That girl has abs of steel! She has to be sitting up and will not let you lay her back. She is practically sitting up from a laying position. She is still wobbly but will be sitting up all on her own soon.
     As far as her diet, she is getting so much better about eating. She is eating a full jar of veggies and then some cereal too all in one sitting. She opens her mouth and we can finish a meal now without getting it in her hair.
     The last biggest thing she has almost mastered now is that she is holding her own bottle. She is still trying to get used to controlling it and it’s a little heavy when it’s full but she does okay.
Boy, she is growing waaaay to fast. That’s about it for now. Update ya later!
