Month 5

I said it before and I'll say it again I'm sure, this last month has been the most fun so far.  In normal baby fashion she is doing so many fun new things..
  • At her 4 month check-up she came in at 
17lbs 6oz.: 97th percentile
26 inches long: 97th percentile
  • She LAUGHS!  The first time I heard her laugh was one night after her tubby. Devin was making funny faces at her and she giggled and giggled at him! I was of course freaking out with excitement and then Devin looked at me confused and said "she does that all the time".  I can sort of get her to laugh, but not as easily as her dad can.
  • Druels, druels, druels. Hands covered in druel, shirts covered in druel, parents covered in druel.
  • She has discovered her thumb but I am not labeling her as a thumb-sucker just yet since she has only sucked it a couple, very cute, times.
  • Babbles, coos, trys to blow bubbles, and holds her breath
  • Eating 6 oz every 2 hours but we are in the process of pushing her back to 3 hours
  • Sleeping through the night, 9:00 to 7:00 or 8:00 so the doctor says there is no rush to start solids unless we want to
  • Sitting up, but face plants a lot because she leans forward to grab her toes which brings me to....
  • She sucks her toes!!!!!!! Cutest baby milestone of all time!
  • Wearing some 6 month, but mostly 12 month clothing due to length restrictions.  Rompers are the best invention! I don't think I will dress her in anything but rompers this summer
  • Hasn't rolled from back to front yet, but spends a lot of time on her sides.  In fact she will roll to her sides then suddenly outstretches all four appendages which whips her back onto her back.  Kinda funny, really cute.  
  • Has become very aware of Otto and gets so giddy when he comes around.  I wish I could train him to walk in circles around her....
  • I still hold her all the time, if I put her down I feel like I'm missing out on something, poor girl probably feels smothered.  I have forced myself to give her daily  "alone time" on the floor, which she really seems to enjoy
  • Between her toes, thighs, hands, baby shoulders, tummy, neck, cheeks, I probably kiss her about 500 times a day
  • Proudest Parenting Moment: Devin jokingly asked Quinn if she wanted to watch Mad Max (stupidest movie on the planet) with him.  She just looked at him, stuck out her lower lip, and started CRYING! Not whining or fussing...CRYING.  It was amazing, I was so proud of my little movie snob.

Turbans are not just for grandmas and Arabs...






Stoked to see Dr T, clearly very impressed with the new office 


Fell asleep mid-bottle.  Being a baby can be exhausting sometimes


So happy to be joining us at the table for lunch.  Strollers and carseats are for the birds.


 And again, lunch.  I ordered a carne asada burrito with a side of baby thigh rolls


Pretending our white fluffy pillow is white fluffy sand.  Bathing beauty!


Caught in the act grocery shopping at Harmon's


Baby stroller sunroof... I mean

Quinn loves her Snug...for about ten minutes


Exploring the great outdoors with Papa Dave


And she's out for the count...


First interaction with a feline, both parties were indifferent



Tubby time cabin style.  This picture kills me and it WILL be blown up and displayed somewhere in my home....I mean
