5 month update

Here is a video/photo slideshow mommy made about me. It is on youtube, but they have silly copyright rules about certain songs - so I uploaded it to blogger also. Hope you enjoy it and the song.

Weight = 17.6 pounds!

Stuff I am working on:
Crawling - I get up onto my hands and knees and rock back and forth but can't seem to move forward. I can crawl backwards just fine :)
Standing - I can stand up with minimal assistance really well, in fact I have stood up holding on to a table for a good 15 seconds a couple times now.
Fine Motor Skills - I am getting good at grabbing small objects and placing them in my mouth. I am really good at using all the toys on my exercauser.

Likes:
Going for walks is still my favorite. I got a new carrier for my daily walks which has taken a bit of getting used to but I enjoy it once the motion of walking starts.
I like eating solid foods - Sweet Potato, Avocado & Bananna are all great to eat. I get one new food each week. Next up are squash, apples, green beans & in honor of the upcoming holiday - pumpkin!

Dislikes:
I get fussy if I am in one place for too long. I like to alternate between crawling, being held, sleeping, standing up and going outside.
I love flipping onto my belly and doing pushups, but then I get tired and upset because I seem to forgot how to roll back onto my back.

Highlights of the month and what is to come: This month I took my first long car trip and it went really well. I got to meet my gram, my aunt Debbie, uncle Joe and their kids & dogs. These next few weeks my house will be packed up, I will spend my last few days at daycare with my teachers and friends and I will head out for an even longer car trip to visit all sorts of relatives on the way to my new home in New Mexico. This is going to be quite an exciting month for me (and mommy and daddy too!)
