Love this girl!

Elise will be 5 months old this week!  At her 4 month check up, she weighed 13 lb, 4 oz which is the 50th percentile and 25 in. (75th percentile) She's a whole 5 lb lighter than her chunky brothers who were both 18 lb at 4 mo. old!  Her hair keeps getting lighter, she's so alert and attentive, and she's such a sweet baby!

I thought I'd share a few pics of her "favorite" things:

Favorite people to spend time with:

Favorite place to nap:

 (in the baby swing)

 

Favorite thing to do when sleeping:



 (get caught in the crib, or flip to her tummy and then wake up crying because she doesn't know how to fix it!)

 

Favorite new "toy":

 (she loves standing in the exersaucer!  She's also discovered her toes--so she enjoys grabbing/playing with those too!)

 

Favorite way to help mom:

(she sits and watches in the little booster chair as I cook or do dishes and we talk and sing and she loves joining us for dinner--just barely tried rice cereal and green beans this weekend)

 

Is often found:

 (with drool hanging out)

 (or chewing on her fingers--one bottom tooth so far and another on the way)

 

 

New Trick she's working on:





 (almost there...just need to keep working on the balance)
