June bug the 5 month old

-I might as well let Sylvie tell you about her 5 month info, because she is talking ALL THE TIME! If she is awake, she is jabbering. It's pretty cute... most of the time... :) She is also laughing and smiling all day long. I can't believe what a happy baby she is! Her giggle/squeal is so darn cute!

-As far as sleeping goes, she had another rough patch during Christmas where she was sick and would cry during her sleep around midnight and wouldn't stop until the medicine kicked in. Talk about break your heart. Now that she's feeling better, she goes to bed at 8 and sleeps until 7:30/8:30am with a random feeding in there----it's kind of frustrating that she requires a feeding during the night now, because she never needed one before getting sick, so let's hope she stays healthy for a while!
  Her napping schedule is very consistent and she takes 3 naps a day-with her longest one in the afternoon when Stori is also snoozing (about 3 hours long). She has hit the stage where I just lay her down wrapped up with her binky, her bear, and the sound machine and she falls asleep on her own. It's kind of bitter-sweet. If Stori is asleep, I go pick up Sylvie from her bassinet and hold her while she sleeps....i'm not quite ready to give that up yet.

loves her bath time and is very modest! :)

-Eating is something she also excels in! She is a speed nurser, and now she has started baby oatmeal once a day. She loves it! With Stori, I had to put the rice cereal on her binky and feed it to her like that for a while haha... but Sylvie took right to it! She is also great at drinking from a bottle AND a sipper cup. I'm still having her drink from her bottle once a week on Sundays.

-Rolling over---but is very content on her back, so she only rolls over that way a few times a day. She can only sit up for about 1 minute before collapsing to the side. That's what we're working on right now.
-Likes all toys, but LOVES her sister!!!! If there was a word greater than LOVE, then that would describe it. The second she sees Stori, she can't hold still and just giggles. She loves me too, but I'm a close second... poor SDR is in 3rd place :)

All 3 of us girls where showered, dressed, and fed by 10am today! high five!

I have never taken a picture of her cute birth mark

I imagine that she's singing "Cotton Eye Joe" here... and doing the dance...haha

Each month is more fun than the last with this lil lady! 

*Love*
