Wow time has seemed to escape this mommy. I cannot believe that it has been almost a month since I have posted on here... too much Netflix and Minecraft =)Chloe turned 5 months old on May 4th. Gosh time seriously has never gone this fast. Her doctor appointment went really well. We just had to go in fora weight check with the nurse to make sure she is still gaining weight. These were her new stats:
Weight: 11.3 in the 3%
Height: 25.5 inches in the 75%
Head Circumference: 16.5 inches in the 75%
YAY she is slowly moving up on the chart at her own little pace. I couldn't be happier! The nurse and doctor were so excited about her weight gain too so that was definitely a plus.
She is one lean girl just like her mama. I love that she wants to be just like me but seriously girl just put some meat on those bones! Chloe is quite the eater though. She drinks about 30 ounces of milk a day and has rice cereal either in the morning or night and some kind of pureed vegetable. I got this really awesome baby food maker called the Beaba Babycook and i LOVE it. It can steam any fruit or vegetable and then also purees. It's so handy and this way Chloe gets nice fresh fruit or vegetables without any preservatives. With how sensitive her skin has been the doctor thought that homemade baby food would be the best solution for her. So far so good. She absolutely loves the rice cereal. She has moved up from only eating about 1/4 tsp to 1 tbsp. Sounds like not very much but it actually gives her a couple of bites. She is getting so much better at keeping the food in her mouth too!
As far as vegetables go we have tried carrots and sweet potatoes. She absolutely loves sweet potatoes. YAY!
As far as fruits go we have tried applesauce, bananas, and yogurts.
I am so excited to keep introducing her to new foods. It's so fun to watch her silly faces and expressions.
Chloe is learning so much so quickly.
New tricks:
Roll from back to tummy on both sides (ALL DAY EVERY DAY)
Eat solids
Sleep 6-10 hrs each night (sometimes she's a hungry hippo and wakes up to be fed)
Supports weight on her legs when you hold her up
Rarely spits up
Splashes her legs during bath time
Holds her own bottle
Transfers toys from hand to hand
Grabs anything within reaching distance
We love her more and more every day. She is our little sunshine. We can't wait to see her start to crawl and sit next. Gosh I cannot believe we are already almost to that stage. I definitely need to baby proof my apartment =)
So cute!
