5 months

yes, she is 5 months now! i can't believe how big she is and how much personality she has now. she smiles and laughs (and cries) and talks "evinese". she's been sleeping 7+ hours lately at night, (cross my fingers...toes, legs, arms...)which made mamma a refreshed woman! but now she'll start teething soon and all that will be down the drain from what i gather from you moms-before-me. but i'll take it while i can get it.
she's getting pretty good at putting herself to sleep if i leave her alone in her crib, which is great too! no, i don't let her cry herself to sleep. i haven't really needed to.
she's really trying to sit by herself, and loves her baby einstein videos (as does mommy!). she has found her toes, which is totally cute. we've started rice cereal, and she loves it! she wants to help get it to her mouth. and she completely concentrates on watching our every move when we eat and drink. we now have to watch her tiny hands around all food and drink. (i've already worn salsa down my jeans!) i thought i would send comparison pix this time. each month on her birth date i take a pix of her in her texas bib to see how she's grown. so here is her 5 month, and the one from her first week.
love mi
