Abigail by the Month! (5)

Abigail turned 5 months old on October 1, 2012!

Abigail, this is what you are currently doing:

• You are now in 3 month clothes! Mommy had to clean out your closet and put away all your newborn/0-3 month clothes. It made her sad! :(
• You're still in size 1 diapers, but we're getting close to moving up to size 2!
• We're guessing you weigh around 11/11.5 lbs! You definitely have put on some weight this month and we're so glad. We can tell you're getting heavier!
• You're eating 6 oz now every 2-2.5 hrs!
• Mommy still nurses you in the morning when you wake up, when she gets home from school and then before bed. You have bottles of breastmilk when you're at the babysitters and we've also started adding a bottle of formula.
• Your naps are still not very consistent. You sleep anywhere from 30 min-2 hrs a day. I'm not too concerned though because of how great you're sleeping at night!
• You still sleep all though the night! Sleeps from 8:30-9 p.m until normally 6-7 a.m. This month you had several mornings when you woke up at 5/5:30 in the morning because you were hungry. I think it was your growth spurt though.
• You play more during the day and are really starting to focus more on everything around you!
• You still love to sit in your bumbo and bouncer.
• You still love playing on your play mat but when you're done you want to be picked up now!
• You still love to talk and make all sorts of noises!
• You still love your bath time!
• You still love riding in the car seat!
• Your hands are currently in your mouth ALL the time! You normally suck on your index fingers the most, but still no teeth.
• You are still drooling A LOT!
• You continue to do well at MDO. 
• You are still rolling around a lot and have been sitting up better, but still not on your own.
• You slept in your room in your bassinet for the first time on September 30th! Mommy was glued to the monitor but you did so great! We transitioned you to your crib the next week and you did great with that too!
• You still sleep in your swaddle and Mommy rocks you to sleep at night. I love our night time snuggles!
• You had your first trip to the pumpkin patch and took some amazing pictures! Our princess knows how to smile for the camera!
• You celebrated your first Halloween and dressed up as a ladybug princess. You stole the show and looked beautiful!
• You went to Nana & Papa's this month while Mommy celebrated her 10 year high school reunion. Everyone loved you!                                                                                  

You are growing way too fast baby girl! Slow down time! :)
