Sloane turned 5 months while we were on vacation at the Frio. She is growing so fast. Jake and I are amazed at how she has progressed from a newborn until now. She keeps getting prettier by the days too!
Here are some things Miss Sloane can do at 5 months:
* sleep through the night
* track movement
* recognize voices
* grab things and put them in her mouth
* smile
* laugh out loud
* roll over from back to tummy
* holds her head up
She has always been a good sleeper and usually gets about 11-12 hours of sleep each night. Most of the time she takes 3 naps a day, two big ones in the morning and afternoon then a cat nap in the evening. She is eating about 7 ounces 4 times a day. Her feeding schedule generally goes 8am, 11:30, 3:30, 7pm. She will get to start eating cereal in a couple of weeks. She is drooling alot and has for a while so we think teeth will come soon. She puts everything in her mouth and drools all over it. She can roll over quite well, but doesn't like to be on her tummy, hence the bald spot on the back of her head. She likes to roll over, but once she gets to her stomach, she gets frustrated. On her tummy, she will look up then start to kick and wiggle like she is about to take off but sadly doesn't go anywhere. That's when she gets fussy and someone has to come rescue her from her tummy side to her back where she is much happier. She likes to be able to see herself in the mirror and all of the things hanging from her mat.
