Lucy, you turned 5 months old on the 10th! What a crazy month we've had!
You are weighing in at 11 pounds, 9 ounces. You've graduated up to a size 2 diaper and are wearing 3-6 month clothes. Some things are still too big for you, but at the rate you're going I think you'll be filling them out very soon!
You are rocking along in physical therapy! You started just before Christmas and have already mastered a couple of your goals. You are now a rolling from back to tummy and your head is steady without support. You can roll from tummy to back, but you tend to think that you can't...until you get really mad and flip yourself over! We are so proud of the progress you're making. You're still our "squishy" baby girl, but doing so much better. :-) (You also had an evaluation for occupational therapy. That lasted all of 7 minutes - you are right on target!)
You are giggling more often and get so excited to see people you know. Your whole body moves and you give us the biggest smiles. You are loving grabbing and "eating" your toys still and have especially begun loving your little Minnie Mouse doll and purple sock monkey.
You love pat-a-cake. Anyone who does it with you will undoubtedly get a smile back.
You are blowing raspberries all the time and have made your speechie mommy happy recently by making a couple of different consonant sounds (m and g) when you babble. You tend to be fairly reserved and quiet (not at all like your sister when she began babbling) but do have moments of "chattiness." However, very much like your sister, you love the mirror! Looking at yourself and others is just too much fun. :-)
You've unfortunately been sick since Christmas and can't seem to kick it. RSV swabs have been negative twice, and no flu, which we're thankful for. But, I sure hope you feel better soon. We both need to sleep more than 1-2 hours at a time each night!
Your sister is still the highlight of your day. She makes you laugh and smile more than any other person. I love watching you two together. (I know I say that on every post, but it just gets better and better!)
We love you sweet girl!
