Five Months Old!

Well, on Saturday our little love bug turned 5 months old!  She weighs in at 16 pounds, 6 ounces and is 26.5 inches long.

Mya is such an interesting little girl!  She is very focused and persistent.  She tries to do something (like pick up a toy) and won't stop until she has achieved the task.  She is interested in EVERYTHING going on around her.  Mya is entertained with her toys, especially ones that she can chew on!  It seems like she likes musical toys a lot too!  She rolls around like a crazy lady and has been working a lot on sitting by herself.  She can sit by herself from anywhere between 30-60 seconds!  She is trying to figure out the whole pre-crawling thing.  She gets her butt up in the air and pushes her legs so that she can sometimes scoot around.  Mya hasn't quite figured out the arms involvement yet, but I'm thinking she will fairly quickly!  She is in love with her fingers and toes and finds amusement in the simple things, like the handle on a dresser or the polka dots on her crib sheet.  She is so happy and mellow!  She doesn't get worked up about too many things, unless it's her elbow being dislocated!

Her best time of the day is right after she wakes up in the morning.  She is soooo smiley and still a little cuddly.  She still loves to be held and rocked, especially at nighttime.  

Mya is loving eating baby food!  We've introduced so many to her and haven't found one she absolutely detests.  In fact, I think her favorites right now are veggies (carrots and peas).  We still give her oatmeal cereal mixed with a fruit in the morning and then a veggie mixed with rice cereal in the evening.  Yum, yum!

Where would we be without our little Mya?  We love her so much!
