5 months

Another Month down...Elycia is Officially 5 months old (a whole handful) as of Sunday...She is growing up so quickly and too fast...Over this past month she has learned quite a bit...She finally remembered how to roll from her belly to her back and she's rolling all around the floor sometimes...We lay her down on her play mat and next thing we know she is over by the couch...Ha...We tried giving her some cereal. She tried Oatmeal cereal and the first day she did really good, the next day she did fine, day 3 she did ok, and day 4 she didn't want anything to do with it. So we decided to try a different cereal, turns out we were supposed to start her on Rice Cereal first...So we tried it and she's still not sure what to think about it...sometimes she'll do ok and other days she just doesn't want anything to do with it...But we keep trying to give it to her and hopefully she'll enjoy it soon...Ha...Learning more and more to grab things, she grabs at faces, especially Gil's glasses, toys, just anything she can get her hands on. One night Gil was trying to put her to sleep and she grabbed at his face and started chewing on his nose...It was hilarious...She still does that every once in a while...Not crawling yet, but I have a feeling it could be soonish...She seems to know how to move her legs, but can't figure out how to move her arms. I see her trying as she lays on her tummy, grabbing at her mat and pulling it towards her...She can turn herself around and kinda scoot. She's sleeping really good in her crib...Some days she sleeps til like 9 or 930 and other days she wakes herself up around 5 and goes back to sleep around 7 or 8...Just depends on how she feels I guess Ha...The trick sometimes is trying to get her to go to sleep it sometimes will take us 3 hours to get her to sleep and sometimes she will go to sleep early like 7 or 8. Guess it just depends on her mood...lol. We've been trying to keep her up past 7 so she will sleep early and its been helping sometimes...She's using her tongue more when she talks you can see her trying to use it...Still loves sticking her tongue out and chewing on Gil's fingers...She's been a pain to change her diaper since she's moving all around and doesn't sit still, she even tries pulling her diaper up to eat it when we are wiping her butt...By the way, I Forgot to mention last month that we moved her up to a size 2 diaper...She still likes to stand up so we are gonna go buy her an excer saucer so she can stand up. She's not a big fan of her pacis lately...Getting more vocal every day. There has been a couple of times she was crabby and didn't want anything so I laid her in her crib and turned her Lions (mobile) on, she will just lay there and watch them go around and around...She loves them...but when they stopped then she would cry, so i'd pick her up and she'd be all calm. She started kinda holding her bottle at least for a little while. Loves to scream when she talks. I am going to be joining a MOPS group the last meeting was canceled due to the Church was hosting some evacuees from all the flooding that was going on. There are some play dates scheduled so I might take Elycia to those. Still working a few hours a week it's been going ok. other then that nothing is really new with me. Gil is working, doing some online classes and been playing and singing for Elycia she loves it. She will just lay there and listen or move around. Still trying to decided what Elycia should be for Halloween and what Gil and I should dress up as...I thought it would be cool if we could find a theme that we could all dress up as...
