Emily: Five Months Old





I have almost no stats on this girl because it's been a month since our 4 month checkup and we still have a month to go til our 6 month checkup. She is easily 15-15 1/2 pounds by this point (my arms ache if I have to hold her and her carseat for more than a few minutes) and she's definitely getting longer. Her personality is really starting to shine through--she is showing obvious likes and dislikes, and she has specific peferences in terms of who holds her (mommy), who bathes her (daddy), and which toys she wants to play with at certain times (play mat in the morning, exersaucer in the afternoon). She is chewing on EVERYTHING! Her hands are her favorite teething toy, but she will settle for a washcloth, her cow toy, or her rattle ring if they are handed to her. Emily does not enjoy being left behind in the living room if Mommy goes into another room, so for now, if Mommy has to make dinner or do the dishes, Emily perches on the countertop in her Bumbo and keeps Mommy company.



Sizes: size 2 in diapers (starting to fit snuggly), just graduated to 9 month clothing for her short sleeved stuff (like outfit above)


Likes: being held at dinner time, playing in her Exersaucer outside while we enjoy sunny weather, watching cars drive by, being around a lot of excitement (Walmart, the mall, etc); when people tell her she's a pretty girl, being swaddled for bedtime


Dislikes: when she gets her arms free in the middle of the night; being expected to play with one toy for more than a few minutes; being stuck in the car for a long time; having to sit in the back seat of the car by herself; when people talk very loudly at her as if she's hard of hearing
