5 months!

The little lady is getting bigger and bigger by the day.  Still awesome/amazing/adorable - we're gonna keep her.  She is fully capable of sleeping from 8:30pm - 6:30am if she wants to....the key is 'if she wants to' - a few times a week I hear her crying out well before that.  We'll chalk it up to teething but let's not make a habit of this, got it girl?  We started out on rice cereal and oatmeal and those were just meh.  She didn't protest but didn't love.  Then we started adding mashed up bananas to the cereal and the attitude improved.  Lately I've just been doing mashed up bananas and the girl is mowing through them.....I'll start adding in other fruits here shortly and some sweet potatoes, because good lord do I love sweet potatoes and the rest of my roommates don't get my obsession so it'd be nice to have a partner in potato crime for once.  Considering I'm still nursing (and the girl is pretty stubborn when it comes to trying a bottle, more my fault than hers for lack of giving her one) and she's anti-anyone other than mom once she starts crying, she and I are basically siamese twins.  Fun 95% of the time but good heavens if I want to get my hair both cut AND colored or run anywhere for longer than an hour.  But hey, I'll take being glued to this chick any day of the week:

The girl is looonnng and thus struggling with her wardrobe....in order to get onesies that can snap, she's wearing 9 or 12 month sizes which then are clearly a tad too loose up top.   That and her hand-me-downs have certainly seen better (and cleaner) days.

 My buddy.
