So we celebrated Maddox's 5 month birthday yesterday....a second time since! I was jumping the gun a couple weeks back. Can't believe she is 5 months already. Everyone said times flies after you have kids but it really actually does! She is doing well. Nothing too new this week. Still rolling over and still needing a little help to get her arm out from under her. She just hasn't figured that out yet...or better yet, she isn't strong enough to do it yet. We're still giving her cereal for one feeding, at night usually, either right before or right after her evening bath. She is swallowing better but still seems to get mad fairly quick into the feeding. Can't figure out if she doesn't like it or it is too cold or too thick or too runny or I"m feeding her too slowly or maybe she just prefers milk?? But, we keep trying. She has definitely figured out how to make a big mess though. As soon as she gets mad (usually about 1/2 way through the bowl)....look out cereal goes everywhere. I try to rescue her quickly and give her some milk so as not to make the feeding experience too traumatic. We'll keep pluggin' away but may try a different type of food soon. She is really loving books. I read to her after her first feeding in the AM and Eric does every evening. She appears to have figured out how to turn the page?? Well, let's say she puts her hands up to the pages and we sort of turn it for her and then praise her..!! She'll get it soon I'm sure though. Not much else going on. I'll write again soon....
