Folks, I can’t believe Maddie is five months old.
I just cannot.
Do you see her teeth?!
Here’s the round-up!
New Things
-two teeth! And a third is emerging!
-has rolled back to front! (Once but rolls on her side all the time)
- can pivot on her belly! Very close to crawling.
-starting to laugh!
-can pass toys back and forth between hands
-starting to sit up unsupported
Likes
-being on the floor (aka, the Maddie Olympics)
-being in her carrier
-seeing the world
-new toys! Loves knocking over her blocks, the rolling bell.
-caterpillar coffee time! (Caterpillar==her chair. It’s the best.)
- being read to (if she can stay still for it). I loved reading to her when we visited.
-grabbing everything mommy and daddy have (clothing, glasses, food, drinks)
-has pet Duke and Bella. (Duke is their dog, and Bella is their kitty). Bella is neutral on the subject, but Duke licked her feet!
-stroller, as long as she’s looking out!
-playing with her owls in her crib (The owls are a paper banner of….owls (ha!) that are hung on the room-facing side of her crib. She has now discovered she can play with them. I think they might not be long for this world now that she has found this out.)
-listening to audio books to help her fall asleep.
-dancing/ singing to music
-looking in the mirror
Dislikes
-Being held or restrained (unless it’s in her carrier)- she wants to move!!
-Putting her arms in sleeves.
-Being tired
-hungry… again (tired+hungry=hangry baby!)
-wearing her sleep mittens (she will bite them off!)
-having her nails filed.
-being left in her crib too long after waking up (see wants to see people, above)
