Penelope is FIVE Months Old!

Every new stage is my favorite stage! It's exciting watching you discover new things and start to "play." You are so precious and we love you so much.

Adjusted Age: 3 months

Weight: No well visit this month but you are around 12lbs.

Diaper Size:  Size 2

Clothing Size: 3-6 month sleepers and pants, but you are still in 0-3 month rompers and dresses.

Diet: You are eating just under 5 ounces every 3 hours and we have ditched the nipple shield! Most of the time you still want a bottle after we nurse. I'm pumping less often since you are eating better which makes me very happy.

Sleep: You are still pretty inconsistent when it comes to napping, but we can usually get you to take one long nap and the rest of the day you take little cat naps. You are sleeping through the night like a champ! You fight sleep, but we can usually get you to sleep between 8:30-9:30pm and you wake up sometime between 6:30-7:15 in the morning.

Baby Gear Love: Your favorite is still your activity mat. You still like being in the Moby but love your stroller for walks. Your new favorite toy is your Whozit. He keeps you very entertained! You are still a little tiny for the Jumperoo but we put a thin box underneath so your feet can touch. You like looking at the lights for about 5-minutes before you want out. 

Milestones/Firsts: You are rolling from tummy to back and back to side. You love to grab things and put them in your mouth and get very upset if an object doesn't fit. You are chewing on everything, but don't have any teeth yet. You are discovering your hands and feet. You LOVE to kick your feet and grab them.

Likes:  Eating, singing, smiling, laughing, snuggling with Mom, playing with Dad, raspberries on your tummy, reading books, rocking, warm baths, and watching the cats and dog.

Dislikes: Not getting fed fast enough, toys not fitting in your mouth, and being bored. 

Things I Don’t Want to Forget: You change and grow so fast. It's pretty incredible and awe-inspiring to watch. You are so perfect.
