Eliza Rose turned 5 months old last week. She lights up our days, and is full of smiles.
This month she has learned to do a lot of new things. She reaches and grabs for toys and brings them to her mouth, and still intently studies her hands. She is getting strong on her tummy and can now easily roll from back to front and occasionally from front to back.
Eliza is enjoying her bumbo seat, and recently began sitting in her high chair. No food yet, but she likes being part of the crew at meal times.
She loves bath time with daddy, and even cuts him a break by not pooping in the tub as often these days. And she has found her voice and loves to use it!
She eats 5-6 times and loves her milk! She continues to be a great sleeper and will sleep 10-11 hour stretches at night, though as I write this about a week later, she began waking at night but I think it's a growth spurt because she is starving and has outgrown some clothes this past week! She takes between 2-3 naps a day, and is usually awake from the mid-afternoon until bedtime. It's hard to miss out when there is so much excitement around her. Eliza weighs somewhere between 16-17 lbs, she is in a size 2 diaper, and 6/9 month clothes.
Happy five months sweet girl, we love you!
Eliza adores her brothers and the feeling is mutual. They love seeing her first thing in the morning when she wakes up, playing with her and reading her books. We have no doubt that she will get right into the mix as soon as she is able!
The boys can make Eliza laugh better than anyone. We can tell she will look up to her big brothers, and pray for them to have a strong bond as they grow up.
