5 Months

Lydia turned 5 months old last week...I just haven't had the chance to sit down and blog about it! It's been rather uneventful as far as reaching new milestones or learning anything new. She's still as cute as ever, smiles all the time, and rarely cries or fusses. 

Sleeping: This has been pretty inconsistent lately. She is usually asleep for the night by 9:15-9:30 and will sleep until somewhere between 7:00-8:30, depending on what we have going on and when we need to be out of the house! If we stay home, she will usually take a good morning nap, lasting anywhere from 2-3 hours. (On Wednesday she napped from 9:30-1:30...she was fighting a cold, but still!) She takes a shorted afternoon nap and usually one more cat nap around dinnertime. We usually wrap her in a blanket with her arms out and, while we are trying to use the pacifier, she usually ends up with two fingers in her mouth!

Eating: Lydia nurses every 3-4 hours, for a total of 5 times during the day. She doesn't eat at all during the night. 

Favorite activities: She loves taking a bath, watching her sisters play, checking out her own hands and grabbing onto things. There isn't much she doesn't like at this point! She will roll onto her side but has only rolled all the way from her back to her belly one or two times. Hopefully that will come within the next few weeks!
