dylan {{5 months}}

So, time and I are officially fighting. While I love the silly, happy personality that is developing in my little Roo, it is all just moving a little too quickly for my taste! I've already found myself getting teary at pictures from a few months ago- yikes!

Dylan's Milestones, Month 5:

Dylan has had a really big month! Started solids (rice cereal) // Rolled from back to front (and quickly became an expert) // Has great belly laughs when she gets tickled or if she's watching someone who she thinks is funny // First time to the lake (Didn't love how bright it was but tolerated it) // First time to the ocean- dipped her toes in the sand and the water // First 4th of July // And First time destroying the flowers from our monthly photo! Haha, I knew it would happen eventually!

We didn't have a check-up this month, but I got on the scale with her and I'm thinking she's around 13 pounds. I still nurse her about 10-12 times a day, plus one sit-down for rice cereal every day.

She's getting great rolls on her legs and her cheeks are delightfully chunky. She had a follow-up with the cardiologist and, while her VSD has not gotten any smaller, the doctor is still pleased with her progress and general development. 

Firsts:

First time at the beach (at the Lake in our town)

First 4th of July

First time to the ocean (and first tow dip!)

First time to the movie theatre (and she made it approximately three-quarters of the way through the previews before I decided it wasn't a good idea)

First time in the doorway jumper and LOVED IT.
