Unfortunately, we couldn't blog about her turning 5 months old when it happened because we were on the road at the time (10 days ago) and life has been the usual whirlwind since then. But without further ado, here's a quick list of all the wonderful things that Jasmine can do...
At 5 months old, Jasmine Olivia...
- tries to grab everything...
- chases all 3 of us around the house in her walker...
- laughs a whole lot...
- has gone from walking to running in the walker and can touch the floor on the highest setting. It seems like just yesterday that her feet barely touched when on the lowest setting... now we need to raise the settings occasionally just to slow her down and minimize the in-house collisions...
- is not quite crawling, but is scooting forward and backward... but mostly backward... to get whatever toy is just out of reach...
- has learned that multiple rolls and a few scoots left or right will usually get her where she wants to go...
- has started her push-up regiment...
- tries to grab EVERYthing (did I say that already?)...
- is super noisy when she eats...
- still doesn't eat all that well during the day because she's too easily distracted (she'll stop eating if she hears a fly in the next room rub his wings together)... but she'll chug a 5 oz bottle with her eyes closed in the middle of the night without waking up...
- pretty much sleeps from 9 to 7, with a 4 minute intermission (sometimes 2 intermissions) to chug the aforementioned bottle...
- is still solely on breast milk (what apple sauce?! Daddy didn't smuggle her any apple sauce!)
- is spending more time alone in her crib (nothing earth shattering... I'm talking 10 or 15 minutes here or there... but if you ask her, that's a lifetime)...
- throws her toys when she's done with them...
- makes Justin laugh...
- will dive from daddy's arms to mommy's, or vice versa, when she's ready for a change of scenery...
- reaches to be picked up when she's in her walker or car seat...
- won't sit back in her car seat (she doesn't cry, but she's constantly straining to get out... inclined with that "lemme out" look on her face)...
- seems to have gotten to 5 months a whole lot faster than Justin did... I know "life slows down for no one"... but it sure does have a way of speeding up exponentially with two kids in the house.
