She turns 5 months old in 16 hours so I’m a tiny bit early. 🙂
She is now 26.5″ tall and 18.5 lbs. She is barely still in 9 month clothes except for jammies, which have already moved up to 12 months.
Other general updates: sitting up for pretty much as long as she wants to. She can correct from 45 degrees of lean backwards to sitting and she can push herself up from bent in half forward. She can roll in both directions but she rarely bothers. She does push ups about as well as I do. 🙂 She loves to chit chat and has long conversations. She has gotten really grabby. My glasses are no longer safe. She loves to play with books and seems to recognize that Mommy is into books as well. She can now eat with greater purpose and get it over with quicker (thank Gawd). She eats a little bit of avocado but isn’t that interested. She goes ~ 10 hours without a diaper change most nights and gets up and goes on the potty. Most nights she wakes up twice and relatches on my boob, but we both pretty much sleep through these feedings. During growth spurts she will nurse every hour on the hour; those nights are hard. She hates having a dirty diaper and hates having her diaper changed. We need to start trying harder on EC cause she just loathes the whole “diaper” thing. She likes to sit and play with a couple of rattles and books for long periods. Oh! And by far her favorite toy is the ducky that masterfiddler gave us. He lives in the car and she loves her ducky. It’s very cute.
Generally speaking she is an extremely happy and cheerful baby. She loves to be around people and she loves to flirt. She likes playing in the water. If you haven’t met her yet, you should. She’s neat. 🙂 And if you see us out and about and you would like to hold her but feel shy about asking… go ahead and ask. My physical boundaries don’t seem to extend to her. She loves being passed around so I do it.
will you three be at the pryankster holiday party?
I would love to meet her.
It’s possible, but not certain yet. She’s still lukewarm on the car and that’s an awful lot of driving for her.

Thanks! We’re glad she likes it. (Yes, I told GuildMistress, and she’s happy to hear the good news, too.)
Yay! I’m so grateful for the ducky. The ducky is the only thing that can calm her down in the car. 🙂

damn… ok going to have to see if I can exchange the thing I bought for a bigger size
Yeah, bigger is better. I’m starting to focus on 12-18 and 18-24. 9-12 won’t last that long. Her jammies only have another inch or so of leg length.
I got 18-24. The lady recognized me right off, and suggested I just skip 12-18 considering how fast she’s growing.
