Isla’s Fifth Month

Category

I better write this post fast before she turns six months!! Gosh this month has FLOWN by!! I think month five has been the fastest so far — truly in the blink of an eye we’re nearing six months!! To be honest, there hasn’t bee a HUGE change from month four to month five or maybe it’s that all the changes are subtle and meld together that it’s hard to keep track. Just all of a sudden you turn around and it’s like your baby is a new person over night!! Here are a few of the highlights of month five!

Isla is a ROLLING machine!! She loves to roll from her back to her tummy – just don’t let her stay that way for long or she’ll let you know she’s not happy!
Speaking of rolling over, she LOVES sleeping on her tummy. As soon as I place her in the crib, before I even leave the room, she’s already rolled onto her tummy to sleep.
Still HATES the pacifier – I still don’t know if it’s good or bad for us!!
She started eating solids this month – we started with oats and she DEVOURED THEM. She LOVES her food!! We just started on avocado.
Isla has learned her voice this month becoming more and more vocal. He little coos and squeaks are pretty much the sweetest sound in the world!!
Sleep still alludes us — she’s given us a few days here and there where she’ll sleep through the night (a consecutive 8 hours) but most nights she’s up around 4 or 5am AND WON’T GO BACK DOWN. We’re tired.
Isla helped me kick off the wedding season by traveling to the Cape with Dave and I in May. She slept like a champ in a strange place and even took a nap so I could watch the Royal Wedding!!
Isla loooves her big brother and thinks he is the silliest — he obviously loves this to no end 🙂
