Its been 5 months


since we brought our precious new little baby girl home. Jordyn - here is what you are doing. You are still a very quiet baby and you do not like a lot of commotion. You LOVE to look and laugh at both of your big brothers. You laugh and cackle almost every night in the bathtub as you suck on your hands or a washcloth. You are not as content as you used to be just laying on the floor with a toy. You want to be held and walked around so that you can see whats going on in the world. You do enjoy some time in your "jumper." You still sleep like a champ and take about 2 to 3 naps a day. Usually one of those naps is 1 1/2 - 2 hours and the others are all short. Your back is quite strong and I think you will be sitting in a matter of a few weeks. You've learned to tolerate your tummy a little better now that you roll over onto it all the time. You don't roll over at night, so that's a good thing for mommy and daddy! You have been eating a bit of cereal for about a week or two once a day. Most days you like it and do really well, but a few days you were not interested. Mommy is still nursing you, but she is weaning you. I have really enjoyed getting to breastfeed this time around because it has gone so easily. However, with everything that is happening in our lives and coming up (baseball season, selling our house and moving to Germany!) it is going to be easier to give you a bottle. Right now, I'm still nursing you 4 times a day, but will probably cut back to 3 times a day in the next few weeks. You are taking your bottles really well and are even trying to hold them a little. Happy 5 months, Jordyn. We love you more and more everyday.
