five months old...

i feel like i blinked and the last five months went by. i can not believe my sweet baby girl is five months old! jaelyn is no longer a newborn, she has become a sweet infant baby! she is so alert and into checking everything out! she is very playful, reaching for toys and whatever else in her line of sight. jaelyn talks and giggles all of the time. she continues to be such a sweet baby. her disposition has stayed the same. she rarely cries and is an easy baby.

jaelyn has begun to watch us while we eat. if she is sitting on my lap while i am eating or drinking she will eye up the food (probably something sweet) or beverage (probably cherry coke zero) going toward my mouth! i had decided awhile ago to wait until she is six months old to start her on cereal or solids. so she has a month to go till she can get a taste!!

last week, i set up her jumperoo (steal deal on clearance at target a month or more ago!) and she loves to sit in it and play with the little toys. the big kids like to sit on the floor while she is in it and play with her too!

jaelyn's sleep/wake patterns are more regular and scheduled. she takes about three naps a day. and has been going to bed for the night at about 7:30. she is a good little sleeper!

here are a few pics of her in the last couple of days....five months old - wow! i am so blessed to be her mommy!
