5 Months

Rachel turned 5 months on Sunday. Time sure is flying by.
A few updates:
1. I am back at work, which means that my posts will be fewer and farther between. Sorry to those of you who check it often. It has been hard going back to work after spending so much time with her. I totally miss her and look at her pictures on my computer a lot.
2. Rachel is rolling over. She can roll back to front and then back again. We haven't got it on video yet.
3. Rachel has lost most of her baby hair and the new hair has come in pretty much the same color. She has a few random long hairs on her head that look pretty funny because most of them are her short new hairs. Her eyes are a greyish color. They are really cool looking. I hope that they stay and don't change to brown like mine.
4. No teeth yet, but I can tell they are coming. She grinds really hard on anything she can get in her mouth.
5. She loves her feet and tries to eat them whenever she gets a chance.
6. She is constantly sticking her tongue out. She went through this phase before and is doing it again.
7. She now shows a lot of interest in the cats. It won't be very long before she is chasing them around. Poor kitties.
8. She is still such a good girl. Her biggest struggle is sleeping through the night right now. Since she was sick for a week and a half, she was having a hard time sleeping. She got in the habit of waking up in the middle of the night. It has been hard to get her to sleep through the night again, but we are working on it.
9. She is still not eating solid food yet. She has only had breast milk to date. We are planning on starting her on rice cereal soon, but have not made the leap yet. 5 Months

It is never too early to enjoy a starbucks!


Tongue baby

She loves her feet!

She is stunning that's what she is, and those eyes are very pretty just like her Mom's. The girls day out was fun, she is quite the shopper! xxH
