5 Months Old

It is hard for Joe and I to believe that baby Harper is already 5 months old. It seems like this time has flown by and she is really changing and growing EVERYDAY. Harper has brought so much joy to our lives and has made us realize what is really important in life!

Weight: 16.5lbs

Length: 25 inches long

Diapers: Finishing out our last box of size 2 than moving onto size 3 which are CRUISERS

Clothing: 9 months

Sleeping: Sleeps through the night and wakes up jabbering away in the morning. Usually she takes a short nap in the morning and a 2 hour nap in the afternoon. From time to time she crys a little bit when we lay her down but overall she is doing great!

Eating: Her eating has really pickced up. She eats oatmeal ceral twice a day usally around 10 in the morning and than again at dinner around 6ish. She has also tried sweet potatoes, blueberries and pears, and apples and banana baby food. She LOVED them all!

Likes: Harper loves when someone holds her and reads books. Every morning I try to pick three different ones and that is what we do as soon as she is done eating her first bottle. She has really started to get into her toys as well. When I was in the hospital my grandparents brought her a doll that was very little and soft and she has strted to cuddle it when she falls asleep. Bath time is a favorite of Harpers as well and is included in her nightly routine! Flying!!!! She did great on the plane, loved looking out the window and snuggling with mom and dad.

Dislikes: Getting strapped into her carseat, Initially everytime I put her in she fusses but once we are moving or in the car she is good to go! Getting her nose cleaned out is one of the dreaded tasks, but how can you blame Harper girl for not liking it.

Changes this month: HARPER IS GETTING SO MOBILE She is rolling over and moves her body around when we carry her on our hip!
