Five Months Old

On Friday, April 22, Eileen turned five months old!

She is getting SO BIG!

Eileen weighed in at 17 pounds, 1 ounce.

She can roll from back to tummy and from her tummy to her back.

She likes to sleep on her tummy sometimes, which is quite a change.

Eileen can sit up unassisted for a few seconds before she falls over.  She loves to sit up!  The Bumbo seat is a favorite now.

Eileen is also really, really alert.  She loves to "watch" cartoons, and she follows her mom around with her gaze.  She has begun to reach for Mommy whenever she wants to be held.

She is cutting her two bottom teeth and is chewing on everything!

Eileen loves to look at herself in the mirror... I'm not sure she knows that it's her reflection, but she loves the baby that she sees.

Eileen reaches out and grabs for everything around her.  She's still so curious.

Eileen is a ham.  She grins anytime a camera is around!

And her favorite place to hang out is on her Daddy's shoulders.

They also love to nap together.

Happy Five Months to a sweet, sweet, baby girl!
