This little girl figured out how to roll to her belly and now Blue Eyes like to hang out there all the time and smile at the world. These photos are all the same, but I feel like they are adorable and cute enough to put all of them here.
We also had a sleep break-through this week, finally. We did what my contemporaries call "sleep training" and what other generations called "let them cry." I felt like she was waaay too young to cry herself to sleep, but nothing else was working, and I mean rocking, nursing, walking, bouncing, swinging...nothing put this girl out and she wasn't napping more than 30 minutes all day, staying up until 10:30 at night, and not transferring out of our bed all night. So I put her down for a nap when she was clearly exhausted and 15 minutes of blood-curdling screams later, she was asleep in a sweaty pool sucking her thumb. Each time has gotten a little bit shorter and last night she just fell asleep with no yelling at all. The hardest part is keeping Dan from "rescuing" her. She has such an alarmingly high pitch cry that we're sure she's in mortal danger, only to run in and she stops immediately and smiles at us to be held. What a little stinker!
In another effort to grow up too quickly, she wants to eat solid food. She watches us eat, smacking her lips and lunging for out dinners. So here's her first food experience: a mushy banana that was well received.
We love you Silly Blue Eyes. We're glad you're 5 months old, but don't grow up too fast!
