Arrows in Our Hand: 5 Months

Okay, seriously. My goal for each month is to take the pictures somewhere around the 2nd and then get the blog post up sometime before the next 2nd! I have got to do better about this! Better late than never! Hannah Kate is 5 months (ahem...5 and 1/2 months old!). I can't believe she is getting so, so big. Nurse Cindy kept telling us in the NICU that we would forget how tiny she once was and I never believed her. She was right.
Here are some fun facts about the 5 month old Hannah Kate:
Diaper Size: 1 (for now.....they are getting pretty tight and we'll be moving up to 2 when we finish this pack)
Weight: 3 days before she was 5 months (June 30), she weighed 11 pounds, 2.5 ounces-she didn't gain as much as she had been, but she was nursing more and possibly slowing down on her growing-she is "almost touching" the growth curve
Clothing Size: 0-3 months-she as a few newborn things that fit just because they are big & most of the 0-3 stuff is too big, but it's supposed to last for 3 months, right?
-She has one inch left in the bassinet.
-Her crib has not been started.....hmmmm.....I play to start putting her in the pack n play for naps to hopefully transition her to it for night time.
-Whenever we pick her up when she's waking up/still sleeping, she stretches and sticks her booty out....so cute!
-She really didn't mind the 4th of July fireworks. She jumped a couple of times when they were really loud, and then she went to sleep.

Things Hannah Kate does not love:
-nursing....finger feeding.....any kind of eating that is not fast and easy
-being where she cannot see us for longer than just a minute or two
-tummy time....STILL....we tricked her into tummy time during early intervention the other morning by putting her across my lap & yesterday as I was trying to keep her paci in so she would go back to sleep on her tummy, she was doing full fledged push ups. Seriously. I took a picture for Mrs. Diana. If she would just realize she can PLAY on tummy time, we would be good.
-riding in the car when we are stuck in traffic-I guess that's more like sitting in the car?

Things Hannah Kate does love:
-her new Bible songs cd (disclaimer: there are a few clapping songs, but we just skip those, it's a 2 cd set and we love most of the songs!) If she is fussy and I start playing it on my iPhone, she stops and smiles and laughs. It seriously cracks her up! I took a video of her yesterday with it playing that I will post soon.
-laughing and smiling at her mama and daddy! (SO SO FUN!)
-her thumbs.....she has managed to get them in her mouth now and the other day had she had BOTH thumbs in her mouth-that takes talent.
-touchy books (you know, the kind with animals that have fur, etc.?)-I will help her touch the first one and usually she touches the rest on her own!
-being in her new house! :)

Okay, here are five month pictures! Can you believe her feet hang off the end of the lamb now? :(
