Lila: 5 Months

This sweet girl is now 5 months! I think the biggest difference we've seen this month is just how aware of everything she has become. She'll turn her head when she hears a sound or wants to see something. She gets so distracted sometimes. It's fun seeing the world through her eyes. She is just so excited about life and is soaking everything up. Here are some other highlights from this month...

Lila has found her feet. She loves grabbing them and putting them in her mouth mouth. It amazes me how flexible babies are.
She loves being thrown in the air. Mom is finally letting Dad do some fun tricks with her!
Lila has the strongest grip. Some her favorite things to grab seem to be Paul's ties and work badge, my hair and necklaces, her clothes, washcloths, and glasses. But her favorite thing of all is other people's fingers. She'll grab a hold and just pull your hand to her mouth. Her favorite "flavor" seems to be Uncle Miles. She went to town sucking on his fingers and would not let go!
She started eating rice cereal this past week. The first time feeding her was so funny. We loved watching her funny faces. She really seems to like it and will open her mouth super wide and get really excited when she's that spoon coming. She in a little oinker and downs that rice cereal fast.
She loves watching videos of herself. It never fails to make her smile. Even when she's really sad.
She loves the exersaucer and jumperoo. She'll just squeal and smile in that thing and is so entertained.
Lila is loosing all of the dark hair she was born with! It's getting pretty sparse. She has a strip at the top and then a mullet in the back. The hair that is coming in is really light though. So I think Lila might be a little blondie.
She loves feeling Paul's scruff. She'll just rest her hand on his chin or cheek and kind of stroke it.

And lots of pictures...
