5 Months Old!

Our litte, sweet Ember is 5 months old. Here is what she has been up to.

Ember is learning more and more every day. She can now easily roll from tummy to back & back to tummy. She can lift her upper body up onto her forearms. She is also doing the "superman swim" move where she lays on her tummy and flails her arms and legs around. She can sit unsupported for small moments of time but definitely is still a litte tipsy. Everything she can get a hold of goes into her mouth. When I hold her hand to try and help her sit - she immediately tries to eat my hand. When we are getting her dressed, she tries to eat her hand/sleeve every time we put her hand into her clothes. We think she is beginning the joyous teething process but we have not seen any teeth pop through yet. She has however officially found her feet. When she lays on her back, she will grab on them, try to pull her socks off, or put them in her mouth.  Ember has slept ALL night about 5-6 times but still does not do it consistently. One of her new sleeping positions is with her butt sticking in the air and her knees tucked under her. She is learning how to make new noises. She laughs seldomly - and when she does it is one of the cutest noises I have ever heard. So far mommy and daddy have made her laugh by kissing her neck or her tummy while making silly noises. She recently learned how to fake cough and does that all the time. Ember still coos, talks, and shrieks with joy as she has been doing. During our Stay-cation over my break, Ember got to go to a few sit down restuarants for the first time. She did great at them. She loves being in new and busy places where she can sit back and listen and watch all the new things going on. She has started using her 9 oz bottles some but we still are not starting solids with her. She doesn't seem to be interested in our food and is doing just great on breastmilk alone. She is such a character and we love her developing personailty. We are constantly getting compliments from people on her cute looks, but also her sweet demeanor. I can't wait to see what the next month will hold!
