5 months

At 5 months Elsie is so much fun.
She has great big belly laughs on a daily basis. She laughs when we talk or tickle her by her neck.
She likes to watch people move. Sometimes I’ll leave the room and she’ll laugh when I come back in.
When she sees someone she hasn't in a while, she will give them a great big smile.
She likes to play with cloths.
She grabs and yanks things now….like hangy toys, clothes, hair.
She rolls from tummy to back quite easily now. For a little while she was only doing it without her diaper on but now she does it with a full cloth one on too.
She will sit by herself for a few seconds.
Her hair has really thinned out.
She eats rice cereal once or twice a week but we might start giving it more often.
Still has 5 bottles a day about 5 oz each sometimes 6 oz.
Still gets up once a night to eat and lately it is between 4-5 rather than 5-6 and I am tired. Tonight I sang and danced for her – it was a made up song about how fun it would be for her if she slept until 5:30 am – we’ll see if it works!
Still taking 3 naps a day and goes to bed at 8...or earlier if it is more than 2 hours since last nap. Yesterday she woke up from her last nap at 430 so I put her to bed about 715. But tonight she did not go to bed until 815. She likes to sit and stand with help and just be cute in general.
She sucks on her pointer fingers but is just starting to suck on her thumb sometimes too.
Still spits up daily! Ugh! It is getting better. Today for example, she didn’t spit up all morning but then had some big spit up session in the afternoon and then she also spit up like 5 times after her last feeding.
Does this screamy thing when she is happy but doesn’t necessarily move her mouth, she is like a ventriloquist.
Loves the bath and kicks the entire time she is in there. There is hardly any water left at the end.
Eats her feet. Plays with her feet every single time she is on the changing table. Did I already say that? I need to pump and go to bed!
