Five Months Today

Rachel is five months old today. What is she up to?
She loves lying on the floor (often on a blanket to give Andrew somewhere to avoid). She is practicing really hard at rolling. She can roll from her front to back and if she relaxed then she would be able to roll from her back to tummy. She also likes to sit up with support.

She went to plunket yesterday, so we can tell you she is 6.9kgs and 66cms long.

She also is quite noisy. Fortunately for mummy's nerves she has moved on from the squeal she was practicing a few weeks ago. She likes to interact with people, like she is doing in these photos below with mummy and daddy.

Mummy is feeling really exhausted at present because Rachel still wakes at least once between 10pm and 6am. Mummy tried not dream feeding (feeding before mummy goes to bed) for a week and a half but then she was awake more often.

Rachel's sleeping goes something like this. Wakes between 6.30 and 7.30am. She has a feed and goes straight back to bed and often sleeps for another 2-3 hours. She is then up until after her lunchtime feed. She then has another sleep. She will often sleep all afternoon. Mummy likes this as Andrew is also in bed for 2-3 hours at the same time. She is then up until bed time between 6;30 and 7pm.

Today she had her first taste of something other than mummy's milk. She had some banana. Once she worked out about actually keeping it in her mouth she seemed to quite enjoy it.
