loulou:: 5 months






 Louisa-Grey Statistics

Age: 5 months
Weight: we neglected to weigh or measure you this month… looking forward to seeing your progress in a few weeks from now!
Length:
Size: a few 3-6 month clothes, mostly 6-12 month clothes.  size 3 diapers
Eyes: dark/bright blue. sparkly. you look for me in a room.
Hair: it sprouted this month! you have the sweetest fuzzy head. your eyelashes are long, too.
Teeth: towards the end of the month, you started teething seriously… drooling, gnawing on your fingers, a bit fussier, and up more in the night.
Nicknames: i don’t think any new nicknames came along this month.
Sleeping: your sleeping habits are becoming more interesting J. you are so easy to put to bed (you seem to want to go to bed for the night, in your cheerful way.); i nurse you and lay you down while you are still awake. you are up and nursing quite a bit in the night, beginning shortly after midnight. i think you are getting a little spoiled by cuddling in bed with mommie.
Naps: you dropped your evening catnap… you have a nap in the morning, and your afternoon nap at the same time as charlottes.
Eating: milk. you spread out your feeds during the day (this may have something to do with all the nighttime eating, though. oh my.). you drink bottles quite well on occasion.
Movement: your grip has improved so much! you roll over both ways! you REALLY want to sit up; it’s so cute to see you laying on your back and straining to sit up. you like playing on with your feet. you like to suck or chew on your index and middle fingers.
Milestones: first Christmas.
Outings: weekly breakfast at “jennifer’s house” with daddy/mommie/charlottes… went to get our Christmas tree, first long road trip to ft. mcmurray, and went for walks in the snow!
Favorite toys/activities:  your barn with soft-yet-noisy animals is your new fave. and, anything that you can teeth with.
Words/sounds: you are chatty sometimes. you laugh more frequently, too.
Memorable moments: introducing you to uncle david, and brand new cousins, breckyn and andrew. just watching you engage with all the family during the holidays was such a pleasure. you are a sweetie.
