Someone is another month older!

And in case you couldn't guess, I was referring to Miss Calla Jane! She is a big girl, being five whole months old today! :) Time really does fly. And I don't think you truly understand that until you're a mother. Then add another little into the mix and pretty much everything passes in a blur. That's why I like to take a moment and relish in it. Let's go with Calla's fifth month this time! 

Calla is growing bigger and stronger every day. She's wearing mostly 3 month and 3-6 month clothes, but every once in awhile she can fit into a 6 month! 

Big thing this month--she's on the move! She can scoot across the floors and beds! She's not always so fond of it--especially when she wants something or someone, but she can do it! She can also get her legs up into a crawl position! Doing way too much! She can also hold her own bottle! And she's still my wiggle worm. She doesn't want to be still--funniest thing is she wants to be held, but wants you to let her roll all over you while she does it!

New fun toys this month are the Exersaucer and the walker! She loves to be upright and move around in them. She also likes the toys and lights/sounds that accompany them! She can spin in the Exersaucer and move around without assistance in the walker. 

Another first this month--the introduction of rice cereal! She actually enjoyed it! More and more so every time she ate it. I think we are about ready to move on to more foods so be on the lookout for that!

Socially Calla is becoming so much more animated! It's hilarious! The funniest thing is to see her react to Augusta. She already adores her! All Augusta has to do is smile at her and Calla will start giggling!  I just love seeing their bond! Calla also tries to mimick you, so if you sitck your tongue out, she will try to do the same. It's hilarious! She also likes to be where you are. If she can't see you, she's not happy! 

Likes this month: rice cereal, eating in general (she's becoming more of a piggy), and laughing! She also like making her presence known by cooing until you acknowledge her, especially in places like the car! She also likes toys and the TV--anything that is brightly colored will catch her eye! (And no, she's not sitting down to watch TV shows, but like I said, it will draw her attention) 

Dislikes: being hot, being hungry, poopy diapers--I mean, those are all things not much of anyone likes, so she's right on target! ;) Also back to disliking being in the Carseat--for the most part. Also doesn't like being up past her bedtime--at about 8 she wants to be lying down! 

That's our month if milestones! I'm sure there will be tons of new things to report next month...bittersweet, it goes so fast! I love you my baby girl! You are such a joy to our lives! Always stay my baby! :)
