the fifth month

Lillian continues to grow and learn new things everyday! The las time she was weighed she was {17 pounds, 5 1/2 ounces}. This is Lillian's new facial expression. I'm wondering if she'll finally be getting teeth soon. {She's been showing signs of teething for months now!} She also LOVES her toes, and pulling at her socks.

She's really good at sitting in her {Boppy}, but as you can see, she sometimes gets tired and needs to take a rest. She can actually sit by herself for about a minute! She'll be a pro in no time!!

{Mirror, Mirror} She LOVES to look at herself.

She likes to play with the dust ruffle on her crib while i change her diaper. I found her this way after washing my hands one day! She gets around really well by {kicking} her legs and
{scooting } on her little bum. She's still not a big fan of rolling over (although she knows how) however, she will pivot in a circle while on her belly. She gets around pretty well these days!

I've started to give her juice in a sippy cup (can you tell how much she loves it?)

She now eats baby food! She'll reach for the spoon and try to "help" guide it into her mouth. She also opens her mouth wide after each bite in anticipation for the next

She loves the {exersaucer} and seems to discover something new every time she's in it. it's so funny to watch how excited she gets!
