5 months

Olivia Grace is five months old today!

We ended up at the doctor today to make sure the low grade fever and fussiness that has been hanging around for the past 2 weeks wasn't something other than teething (#firsttimemom). Doctor confirmed she is fine, just that darn tooth giving her such a hard time. Poor girl. At the doctor, she weighed in at 13 lbs 5.5 oz, all the way up in the 14th percentile.

Olivia loves to roll over, stand up (with help of course), chew on fingers and grab for objects. Countless people have referred to her as a "wiggle worm" because she does not like to sit still for very long. She has discovered her toes and reaches for them whenever she is in the sitting position.

She has eaten oatmeal cereal, sweet potatoes and bananas, and bananas definitely seem to be her favorite so far. She loves to reach for the spoon and bottle to feed herself, but can't quite master getting it in her mouth at the right angle.

She has become a much better car passenger, and finally doesn't scream every time we go somewhere. In fact, she usually falls asleep! Her hair has started to grow pretty long. It is thin and blonde and so, so soft.

I am enjoying spending every day at home with her and watching her grow. She grows and changes so fast, and I feel so lucky to be able to have this time at home with her. I feel like she is developing such a fun little personality and I love watching how she expresses herself.

I can't believe how quickly time has passed, but I'm loving watching Livi hit all of these fun, new milestones!

Reaching for those feet

Refusing to smile...

Hands in her mouth... All the time!

"Mom, I can feed myself"
