5 Months!

My little angel turned 5 months old on the 23rd! Hard to believe as it seems like it has flown by!  5 months always sounds so old, but to me she is still a little newborn. 

Here are some of the fun things she is doing:
-Rolling over from front to back, and can roll to her side from her back but not quite making it over
-Loves holding things now and putting things in her mouth on her own
-Loves sitting in her Bumbo, exersaucer and her johnny jump up
-She spits little raspberries and giggles a lot now, so cute!
-Loves watching her big sister and Luna loves making her laugh

As for sleep, well, it was good when she had colic, but now she is waking up a lot more at night! She is still swaddled and sleeps in her nap nanny in her crib and I sleep in the guest bed in her room. It makes it easier for me to get up and go to her vs walking out of my own room and into hers.  Any suggestions on breaking the swaddle??  I think we are going to have to Ferberize her as the longest stretch of sleep I get is still 2 hours.  She has only been able to fall asleep on her own maybe 2 times without me rocking or nursing her (the Babywise is so not working for us).

She takes about 3-4 naps a day still and wakes around 6:30am and goes to bed around 7pm.

Eating has been O.K.  She was spitting up a lot and still fussy and not gaining weight, so we put her on Zantac and she seems to be sleeping better and definitely less spit up!  She is still nursing and takes a bottle once a week. I can't stand pumping, so I only do it when I have to.  And we have not started any cereals.  Most recommend waiting until 6 months because it helps with their digestive system, as if you start at 4 months it can cause more allergies and digestive issues later on. 

Belle is such a cutie and is sooo much happ
