Carlee is 5 months old!

April 10th, 2009

Where did the time go?  Our (not-so-little) chunky monkey weighs a whopping 19 pounds, although she hides it well.  Come summertime, when she’ll wear sleeveless dresses and such, you’ll be able to see just how well-nourished she is.  She hasn’t eaten any solid foods nor been offered a drop of formula; all her baby goodness is from mama’s milk alone.

This month Carlee is grabbing her feet and trying to put them in her mouth!  What a cutie.  She’s also getting quite the bald spot on the back of her head, from rubbing her head on the floor when she’s playing.  We are a little fearful that she might have found her thumb…  and while I know she’s sooo sweet, I’m not thrilled that she might start sucking it.  Our friend the dentist tells us to discourage the thumb too.

Carlee really loves her siblings, and they love her too.  This past week Colby has been climbing into Carlee’s crib and reading her a book before naptime.  After all, he gets a book for naptime, why shouldn’t she?  I can’t even capture how precious this is in pictures.  Kennedy loves to play with Carlee and get right in her face while she’s in the exersaucer.

Speaking of the exersaucer, Carlee likes to be in this but only for a few minutes and only if she can chew on the toys.  She likes to make noise with some of the toys, sometimes, but chew on all of the toys, all of the time.  No teeth yet but she sure is drooling.. we expect them any day now.
