Aurora - Five Months

249 

Weighs 16 pounds 6 ounces  
Loves to talk. Loves to smile and laugh -- especially at Daddy. Mom is sort of old news these days...

    Loves to be with Mommy and Daddy doing pretty much anything and everything they are doing. She has even helped Daddy mow the lawn a few times ;)

        Still exclusively breastfed, but is starting to show interest in solids. She has already tried to swipe food off my plate a few times  

        Her favorite toys right now are a spoon and a cup. She particularly likes a cup filled with water to stick her tongue into

            Has mastered rolling over, although she still gets stuck on her belly when she is really tired  

            Sitting up unassisted for short periods of time. She can sit up for about a minute or so until she gets distracted

                Still sleeping in bed with Mommy and Daddy, although we have started putting her down in her crib for naps and at night until we go to bed

                    Still fighting sleep. Bedtime starts at 7 and she sleeps from around 9pm to 6:30.  

                    She wakes up twice to nurse.  

                    Hates to nap -- guess she is related to her Daddy! She generally pulls 3 or 4 20-ish minute naps

                        And finally I will leave you with a picture of what Aurora looked like exactly one year ago

                        Totally amazing the difference a year makes!
                        I can't wait to see what the next year will hold :)
