5 months old, already, it’s going so fast!!!
Weight: We won’t know until her next well visit which is next month. She is very healthy though
Height: Same, but I can tell she is getting SOOOO long!
Eating: We started her on real food after her last well visit. We decided to go with Oatmeal cereal vs the Rice. Our doctor said there had been something going around about the ingredients in the rice cereal, so we just played it safe. She LOVES getting to eat food! Our doctor advised us to start with fruit and at our 6 months visit we will talk about veggies and meat. Her favorite is prunes with apples Jay said that is probably because I did have some doctor pepper while being pregnant with her, haha!
Sleeping: Still amazing! Still sleeping through the night, she is down around 7 and stays in bed until 8 the next day. This morning she actually slept till 9, crazy!
Clothing: Well, we are already in 6 month clothing and it’s not going to last long. Some of the clothes are already very snug. I put her in a 12 month out fit yesterday and today. I feel like I’m always having to buy jammies or pajamer pants as we call them haha
Likes: Oh my, we have such a happy baby! Still loves her bath, to bounce in her bouncy, smiling, eating food, trying new food, sleeping, rolling all over the ground, the dogs, screaming, laughing, music, car rides, people, her pink blanket is still a favorite, her teddy bear, her mobile over her bed, going on walks
Dislikes: When I put her bib on haha, getting off her routine which messes with her sleep
Nicknames: Chunky Monkey, Booger, Princess, Hi Lou, Monkey, Lovey
Mamma: I love every minute of being a Mom to my little miss. Everyday there is something new and even when she is fussy I just love every minute of it. I see all these ladies getting pregnant and think back about the time I was pregnant with Hiley and I’m so thankful I’m not “waiting” for her anymore. I love having her here and spending all my time with her.
Jay: Watching him being a Dad has made me fall even more in love with him. He is such an amazing Daddy and I love how Hiley lights up for him.
Random: Hiley’s favorite thing to do this month is to roll from one end of the room to the other. I will go upstairs and put her down on our bedroom floor and she is gone haha. It’s so cute to watch her. She has been “teething” since she was 3 months old. I’m just waiting for a tooth to pop through. She blows bubbles, gets fussy, and drools a ton. This month we had the opportunity to spend some one on one time with Grandad and he LOVED it. While we were up there Hiley figured out how to really bounce in her bouncy and he really enjoyed getting to be a part of it.
We feel so blessed that God choose us to be parents. It has been an amazing adventure and the best part is it’s just beginning!
