5 Months!

Riella Joan is 5 months old today!
She celebrated in a big way by rolling over from back to belly for the first time.  I put her down to play in her room as I was packing for our trip to Kentucky.  I went into my room to grab a few things and came back in to see her like this.  Stinker did it in secret! Once she discovered she could do she kept rolling back and forth.  It was too cute! 

She is still wearing mostly 6 month clothes with some 9 month and a few 12 month tops thrown in.  She is still running long and lean, much leaner than either of the boys were by a long shot. She's nursing 4-5 times a day still.  She's sleeping great in her crib every night for 12-12.5 hours and taking two long naps and maybe one catnap a day when we are home.  Days we are running around are different, but she is very adaptable and never gets fussy even if she misses a nap.

She discovered her feet this month too.  She loves playing with them and eating them.  She loves to talk and jabber all the time. She is still one of the smiliest babies I've ever known.  She is so easy to get to smile and she does it all the time.  Her smile is contagious too.  Hard to look at her grin and not start smiling too.

She loves her big brothers and they love her like crazy.  They dote on her constantly and are such big helpers with her.  

She is such a happy, content baby and we are so blessed to have her in our family.
