5 months



Here's what you've been up to this month:

You got some more shots at your 4 month check-up
Naked baby alert!
You went appliance shopping with mommy and daddy and eventually we bought some!
oooh, mama that one there is so pretty!
You like to take naps with your puppy
naptime buddies
Hanging out at daycare
pretty in pink at daycare
You and mom went shopping and got some great new stuff!
I just can't decide which hat I like better
I just don't know...I'll take them both!
You celebrated your first Easter
I love you Easter Bunny
I'm so crazy, you can't keep me still tonight mama (dress she wore for Easter)
You got a fun new toy from your aunt/uncle/cousins
eeek! so.many.buttons
Nana and Brad came over to hook up the new oven so you showed nana your new toys
Oh hey nana - just showing mom how to run this thing
We were able to squeeze in a few walks before the snow returned - yes, I said snow in April
Out for a stroll on April 4 and then we got several inches of snow :(
We met up with your cousins and nana for dinner and a movie
Hanging with nana and my cousins. Watching Finding Nemo
The stupid snow allowed mama to stay home from work 1 day
Mom I'm so happy you get to stay home from work today!
You became interested in mom and dad's food
What ya eatin there mama?
We went to Psycho Suzie's for a birthday lunch. You were there (in mom's belly) with the MN Bloggers last summer!
Leaving our mark at Psycho Suzie's
Mama fed you some solid foods on April 11
I'm ready!
Nom - that was good!
You can feed yourself a bottle...with some assitance
Look mom, I'm such a big girl!


Other things to note


Height: 25" (guessing)
Weight: 14lbs (guessing)
Head: ?? no clue - will update
Places you've been: Nowhere new this month. Maybe next month we can visit the zoo!
Doctor's Appointments: you went for your 4 month on March 20 and don't go back until 6 months
Daycare: everyone is still happy! You are going 3 days a week and hang out with daddy the other 2. 
Sleeping: you are still sleeping so well through the night. You did your first night in your crib on Friday, April 12 and slept for 6.5 hours without a peep. Saturday night you slept for 9 hours straight - you're unbelievable kid!
Eating: 6oz every 3-4 hours. You had your first round of solids on April 11 and did great! We'll probably feed you rice cereal/formula mix once a day for a while and then start introducing something else soon. 
Clothing: Mostly wearing 3 and 3-6 month clothes
Diapers: You are wearing size 2 diapers when you wear regular diapers and cloth is still going great!

Things you like: you love watching everything around you, you are so observant! You love to smile and you smile at strangers and that definitely makes them happy :) 
Mommy likes: still very interested in mom's hair and necklaces, when mom sings and dances, when mom makes some cool noises with her mouth
Daddy likes: seeing him when he comes home from work - it is the highlight of everyone's day melts.my.heart times a million, watching sports with daddy, hearing daddy's voice on the phone when he's working. He tells you that he loves you and that you're pretty and you smile and hide your face - it is so precious!

Bailey Bear~
I never knew how much fun it would be to have a little baby in our lives. You truly are such a blessing. We love to just watch you and make you giggle and see your reaction to anything that is new (usually met with a smile or giggle). You have such an amazing impact on everyone that you come in contact with. It honestly baffles me how many strangers will come up to us and admire you and tell us how lucky we are. I couldn't agree more. Every day I look forward to seeing you and holding you. Love you Bailey Rose!

B is for Big Girl Bailey

Yesterday, I took a personal day and avoided the chaos of the roads. An excuse to stay at home my with people I love the most, sounds good to me! Chris and I spent our day acting like Cinderella and her handsome prince scrubbing the wood floors (which, I might add, look amazing!). Then as Chris was leaving for work, I decide to break out Bailey's high chair since I knew we were going to be switching to solids soon (we got the ok from her doctor last month).

**bad mom alert** I had actually given her a spoon full of some gelato that I might or might not have ran out to buy last weekend due to someone's (carolyn) instagram photo. I like ice cream so I figured Bailey probably would too - surprise, she loved it!

Here's a little recap of our first experience with solids - rice cereal with formula, yuuuum ;)

This new chair is so exciting!
Wait?! We're gonna what with the what??
Don't make eye contact! Don't make eye contact! She'll forget you're here - you.are.invisible!
Oooh, she's making some crazy noises now and swirling the spoon around - that's interesting!
Ok, maybe we can try this...
Oh, gotcha! Haha
Ok, ok - let me see this thing
Hmmm, this is interesting
Oh, mom! You made such a mess on my face - how embarrassing!
Cheeeeese!
Ok, we'll take a pic for the blog - just make sure none of the embarrassing ones make it on there ;)

Happy Friday!
