5 months old!

Molly turned 5 months old on Saturday! She's so big...can't you tell :)?? How funny is this picture? She looks so tiny. She really is getting big though, everything around her is just even bigger. We packed up the bouncer seat for good though. She really doesn't like it all that much, and I figured it would stop us from putting her in it anymore.

Other big news is that Molly had a taste of her first cereal a few weeks ago. She loves it! The pediatrician told us at the 4 month visit not to start until 6 months unless it seemed like she was starving (??), so I called the pediatrician at 4 1/2 months to see if I could give her some since she had started waking up to eat during the night, which she hadn't done since about 5 or 6 weeks thinking maybe that is a sign of starvation since I'm not really familiar with those symptoms. They reluctantly said ok to cereal but said to go slow. So I waited another week and her sleep patterns went back to normal. But then she started grabbing food out of our hands and definitely has good enough head control so I said why not give it a try. We did two weeks of rice cereal and now just started oatmeal, which I think she likes a lot better.

That's it from here. Still busy with our meetup groups. We are having lots of fun with our new friends. I've even gone out for Martinis & Manicures, which was great. Maybe I'll plan a birthday celebration there with the girls...hmmm...could be fun :).
