Five Months

Natalie is five months old (yesterday)! Here she is in all her cute five-month-old splendor!


A few new things...
- She had her first rice cereal yesterday and loved it! From the first bite she acted like she knew just what to do and kept grunting for more in between bites. When it was all gone, she tried to eat the bowl!

(I probably should have added a headband - poor little bald girl!)

- Natalie is sitting up more. She can balance really well in the corner of a chair or with the boppy and does fairly well on her own for a few seconds. The biggest problem she runs into is when she reaches for a toy and is then stuck folded in half with her head by her feet. At that point she typically starts eating her socks. :-)
- She is spending more and more time on her tummy and finally seems to enjoy it. When she decides she is over it, she just rolls over or screams until I help her realize she knows how to roll over.
- Natalie can now put her pacifier back in her mouth on her own. Unless of course she has thrown it behind her head or it isn't within a very close reach.
- Everything, and I mean EVERYTHING, goes straight into her mouth.

We sure love you Miss Natalie!
