5 months

Well it has taken me a bit to get this done, the Summer has just been so crazy busy. But I am doing it now and that's what counts. So lets see....

At the beginning of the month Samantha had a check up where she was 26 inches and 15.3 lbs.

At by the end of the month I am sure she is a solid 16 lbs., she is getting quite heavy to carry around. She is eating every 4 hours, 4-5 OZ a time. And little miss Sam has decided that she no longer wants to sleep through the night, so we are back to waking up 1-2 times a night. I had gotten used to uninterrupted sleep and now it is very difficult to get back in to waking up at 3AM.

Samantha rolled onto her tummy. And now it is very difficult to keep her off of it. As soon as she gets on the floor she rolls right away. We are still working on getting back onto her back. She does it about once a day. Other wise she starts crying when she wants to be flipped over. I keep letting her cry a little hoping that she will get mad enough and do it by herself....but a mommy can only take so much whining.

Sam constantly is looking at food. She wants to be big so bad. So we tried rice cereal. The eating part went great! She loves eating, but her body did not like it. She got VERY constipated and screamed when she pooed. So we switched to oatmeal and that seemed to do the trick. She likes it and can tolerate it.

Skylar and Samantha are still super cute together. They love playing together. Skylar can really get Sam laughing...more than anyone else. Sam misses her sister when she is gone. She gives the biggest smiles when she sees her.

Samantha also got her first tooth this month. All the drool and nawing on the mom finally paid off!! And it is a sharp one!!! Like a little razor blade. She still gets my fingers in her mouth once in awhile and then I get bit and remember why I don't let her grab at my hands anymore :)

And finally she got her feet into her mouth. If she has no toy..and sometimes when she does she pulls those feet up to her and sucks away. She is so good she can even get both her feet in her mouth....she does the best tricks!!!
