Our little Megan is getting so big. She is now 5 months old. This month she started eating some solids and has really grown to love them as time has gone on. She has tried carrots, sweet potatoes, bananas, applesauce and squash. She is usually a bit unsure with the first bite or two but gobbles it right down. She has her mouth open as soon as she sees the spoon. Hopefully she continues to be a good eater as time goes on. She drinks 5-6 ounces of formula every 3-4 hours. We have also started giving her some apple juice in a sippy cup which she can't figure out how to do the sippy cup thing yet and always gives us a funny face when we help her and she drinks the apple juice.
She has started to sit by herself a little bit. She is still quite wobbly but loves to sit up especially so she can watch her brother and sister play which is one of her favorite things to do.
She always has her thumb or fingers in her mouth either sucking or chewing on them. Hopefully it doesn't turn into a long term habit.
She is such a happy baby. She loves to be talked to and watch what is going on around her. She also loves to watch the TV especially morning cartoons sitting by Ty and Eliza.
If we are at home and on routine she takes about 3 naps a day still. Usually a short morning and evening nap with a longer afternoon nap. She sleeps through the night going to bed around 8 and sleeping until 7:30 am.
This month she has been camping for the first time and did great, experience fireworks and fun with the 4th and 24th of July, and to Bear Lake for our family vacation.
She loves her brother and sister and likes to watch them play, likes to watch the leaves outside, loves her saucer, and loves to sit up, and loves to eat, and she loves her baths but she HATES cold water when we go swimming and will freak out.
This month she also rolled over from her belly to her back for the first time. She doesn't do it all the time but she can do it. Maybe cause I am bad at giving her tummy time. She hasn't rolled from her back to tummy yet but loves to roll to her side and will just hang out on her side but doesn't care to roll over.
She is moving a little bit, mostly pivoting in a circle not scooting too much though. She is always turned around a different way in her crib than when we put her in it.
She is just our happy, happy, chill baby girl and mostly cries when she is really tired or really hungry. We love our little Meggy and so glad she is a part of our family.
Nicknames she has been given: Meg, Megs, and our favorite Meggy
Weight 15.2 pounds.
I didn't measure her and since it wasn't one of her checkups with the doctor her weight is all I got.
