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? :(
With Mama's hand
Wesley helped me with these by getting her to smile. She's now at the point that she's not too crazy about being stuck in the Boppy for pictures.
July is BEEF month! Hannah Kate encourages you to eat some Hereford BEEF!
I LOVE these shoes from Carter's.
Pictures with Daddy's wedding ring....yeah, this was fun!
Her eyes crack me up!
(No rings were eaten or actually made it in her mouth during the taking of these pictures.)
Thanks to Cousin Celia for the adorable dress!
