5 months old!

I can't believe you are 5 months old already.  Before you know it, you will be in kindergarten.  Ok, let me not get to ahead of myself.  Eleana, this month has been a month of firsts for you!  We finally got your milk issue under control.  We had the wrong formula and when Dr. Simone switched you, you have been a much happier (and less poopy!) baby!!  You drink about 5oz of milk every 3-4 hours.  We started adding a scoop of formula to mommy's milk, and that seems to hold you over much better.  You like to make your presence known.  You will often shriek when you are left alone, or to get our attention.  You love your Bubba, and in fact, you said your first word this past weekend... "Bubba".  You looked right at your brother and said it clear as day!  That made Jonathan feel so special.  He loves you so much!  You also said "dadda" the other day.  So mommy is feeling a bit left out!  You love to sit in your walker or lie on the floor in the toy room and watch him play.  One night, when daddy was working late, we had a "camp out" as your brother likes to call it, and you lied down on the pillow next to your brother to watch Paw Patrol!  I just love watching the little relationship that is developing with you two!  Well, you are also very much on the move right now!  You can roll from back to front now, and on your last well check two weeks ago, you propped up onto hands and feet.  Dr. Simone said you are doing things 6 and 7 month olds are doing!  You have made it to all fours and rock back and forth.  You are able to pull yourself across the floor on your belly and are able to sit for about 5-10 seconds before you lose your balance.  You are now wearing size 2 diapers and are still a little on the petite side, as you are still wearing 3 month clothes.  I personally love your little skinny jeans on you!  Pleas forgive me, because your mom is by no means a fashionista!  I'll leave that to your Aunt Cathy!!  So here's to another month, my Angel!  Love you lots!!
