• 5 months old...already!!!

  

  Veronica was 5 months old on Holy Saturday. I still want to know how that happen.  I really feel like she was just born.  Maybe it's because she has slept through the night since she was 2 weeks old or because I can put her down awake and she'll put herself to sleep.  Or maybe it's because while she acts like a 5 month old, she is (at least in my experience) the size of a 2-3 month old.  I'm not sure, but I feel like this first 5 months has just flown by. 

  She started rolling from her belly to her back around 4 months and is now rolling from her back to her belly.  She's been eating oatmeal and baby food for about 3 weeks.  She laughs when tickled, smiles all the time, loves her brothers and thinks playing peek-a-boo around corners is hysterical.  She love she exersaucer, is so-so about the Bumbo seat, loves her play mat and loves to be carried around.

  She weighs all of 12 pounds, I told you she is tiny, but has grown over 5 1/2 inches. So she's growing, she's just small.  She is built like her cousin Evelyn...and looks like her too.  In a few weeks (now that it feels like May is just around the corner) she will be 6 months old and I know that will find her doing even more, possibly even sitting up.
