Five Months Old!

Grace is five months old today!Here is what Grace is doing now ---
  • Dropping toys to see where they land
  • Localizing to sounds from all directions
  • Watching and petting Emma, Lil' Bit & Good P
  • Moving - Grace is now rolling her body 3-4 times to get to toys that are out of reach!
  • Sitting & standing with support - no more laying down!
  • Sitting alone for a few seconds all by herself
  • Teething- white bumps have appeared on Grace's bottom gum ridge
  • Going on nature walks with Mommy
  • Eating! Grace loves homemade butternut squash, acorn squash, sweet potatoes, apples, oatmeal, avocado, & bananas......and so many more new and exciting foods to come this month!
  • Music & dancing
  • Laughing at silly sounds, animal sounds & peek-a-boo
  • Using both hands together and transferring toys from one hand to the other
  • Favorite toys: Ella the Elephant, Glow Worm, the "Q" (mouthing toy), mirrors, bubbles
  • Favorite books: Goodnight Maine, It's Spring, Crunch Munch, Wiggle Waggle, Hand Hand Fingers Thumb, Baby Einstein Animal Discovery Cards
  • Favortie Songs: Rawhide, The Itsy Bitsy Spider, Fingers & Toes
  • Smiling at familiar rhymes, words, and songs!
  • Using the crib bumper to pull herself up!
  • Removing a cloth from her face during peek-a-boo
  • Making new sounds every day -- loud ones, quiet ones, silly ones

We can't believe how quickly time goes by! Grace is only 5 months and is doing so many things. We do think that she is very advanced!

Happy 5th Month Birthday,
Happy May,
We are tickled PINK that you are our grand-daughter
We Love You, Maddy & Poppy

Wow, you are such a big girl now. I see a little bit of your mommy in this five month picture. It looks like a little Rebecca grin from when she was a little girl. Both of you are so cute.
Love You,
Aunt Melinda

Grace, you are beautiful. Love the picture of you and the hat on your 5 month birthday. Harper loves to look at the "sleeping baby". Her mommy checks this blog regularly. We all think you are amazing, Grace.
