Five Months

I say this every time, but I can't believe it's been 5 months since Cambry was born.  I remember with Izzy I wanted time to speed up, I wanted her to be walking and talking, I wanted her out of the newborn phase.  This time around it is so so different.  I want her to stay small forever; I wish she was still a tiny newborn.  I'm not sure why it's different, Izzy was a good baby, I would say Cambry's an even easier baby.  I think with Izzy I had no idea what I was doing and felt anxious I might do something wrong.  This time is much more enjoyable and easier.

I love those big cheeks!

The confused look.

"Really Mom More?"

There's the smile I love so much!

She weighs: 16 pounds 4 ounces
Eating:  She just started eating rice cereal on 4/21.  She loved it.  I let Izzy feed her, which was really cute.  Izzy was confused at first because she said, "Mom, Cambry only eats milk; she can't eat cereal."  I have repeatedly told Izzy not to feed Cambry food because she is just a baby.  I could imagine Izzy sharing her cheerios, peanuts, fruit snacks etc with tiny little Cambry. Other than that she just breastfeeds; she usually eats around 8 am, noon, 4, 7, and 10:30 pm.  She is not the eater Izzy was (who would eat 20 minutes on both sides and I had to take her off).  Cambry will eat about 10 minutes on one side and be done. Sometimes, I feed her on both and she is guaranteed to spit up.

Izzy is such a great helper.

Trying to decide what she thinks.

Sleeping:  I would love to be writing that she is sleeping through the night and I thought I would be.  She had a week stretch where she slept through the night and I thought Finally?!! But now she is back to waking up once during the night around 4 or 5 and then goes back to sleep around 8. She still loves to be swaddled and is pretty easy to put to sleep.
Random things:  She loves to talk, Mike refers to her as a pterodactyl (seriously who knew there was a p at the front of the word-I had to look it up) because she is always making loud noises like a dinosaur.  She has been spending a lot of time in her walker, which she really enjoys.  Yesterday her binkie fell out of her mouth and she was able to put it back in on her own; YAY!  She rolls all over the place.
She is such a cutie and a huge blessing in our lives!

I was putting Cambry down for a nap and came downstairs to this little stinker hiding in the pantry eating Mike and Ikes.  She moved a stool into the pantry and got them from the top shelf.  Seriously nothing is safe with this one, she gets into everything!
