At 5 Months Margo:
* Weighs 16 lbs 4oz.
* Is now wearing 6 months clothing. She can even wear a few 9 month things- depending on how it's made of course! :)
* Is continuing to gain more and more head control.
* Is rolling all over the place. We are pretty sure we are only a few months away from crawling!
* Had her first sleepover at Grandma's (mommy was there too, of course!) on 4/26/14.
* Likes to suck her thumb. This began on 4/24/14. She doesn't do it all the time. Mostly just at night.
*She also started sucking on her toes this month. She first put her feet in her mouth on 4/26/14. I know it is gross to suck on your toes, but it is cute when Baby Margo does it. ;)
*She has started to reach out for Mommy and Daddy to hold her (4/29/14). I LOVE this. This is by far my favorite accomplishment of Margo's to date! ;)
*Margo is also passing objects from one hand to the other. It is so funny to watch her closely study something and then pass it from her left to right hand.
* She is no longer sleeping in her swaddle. PRAISE! It was a tough few nights but we were able to kick the swaddle habit completely this month with the help of our trusty sleep sack. We started on 4/20/14 with Margo sleeping with her arms unswaddled and gradually moved on from there. All in all, it took about two weeks to break the swaddle habit.
*She has just recently started waking up a bit more in the middle of night. She is now waking around 1-2am and then again between 4-5am. Hopefully, a full nights sleep is in the near future.
*Miss Priss has become VERY curious. She is constantly looking around to see what is going on. We now have to nurse in a quite room or else she will not eat because she is so interested in the noises around her.
*Nicknames- Miss Priss, Lovey, and Daddy sometimes calls her MeMe.
