Elynn: 5 months

5 Months:
Weight: 14lbs 1oz
Height: 25 inches
She is in the 50th percentile in both.

Wears 3-6 month clothes and size 2 diapers

Somewhere during month 4 and 5 her sleep has started to change. She sleeps in a Nap Nanny beside our bed (yes, I know they have been recalled but that was due to user error, and personally I LOVE the product), and has done great in it so far. She has started nursing more at night and then cries when I put her back down...so.....sometimes she sleeps in our bed with us. GASP! We went down this same road with Reese and she eventually had to cry it out. Apparently though, I am not the woman I once was. I don't think I can do the cry it out thing again. It is a very successful method, but I never felt good about her crying so much. (It really only took Reese 2 nights of crying it out, but those 2 nights still haunt me.) I'm going to start looking into other options, but for now I am going to let her be. Since she is nursing so often, I don't want to have to run across the house to get her every 2-3 hours. If you've got any suggestions, do tell!! (Maybe she can sleep with her big sissy when she is old enough??)

She loves to look at the iPad. 

She LOVES her dolly!

One afternoon Elynn got fussy and Reese looked at her and said (in one of those tones you use when you talk to a baby), "that baby is tired!" 

She got shots and they caused her to be cranky the entire spring break.

 They enjoyed a wagon ride during spring break. Reese dressed herself. Actually, these days Reese always dresses herself and I want to walk around with a sign that says that just so people know I didn't do it.

Sometimes Reese uses Elynn's fingers to play the iPad. Elynn doesn't seem to mind, but sometimes she makes these kinds of faces about it...

Y'all, her little ears! They stick out a little and are a tiny bit pointed (she gets this from both Adam and I) and I just love them! And her chubby cheeks. I love those too. Oh, and the little fat rolls on her legs. Precious!
