Allison Elizabeth at Five Months

My happy baby girl is five months old! She has been smiling, giggling, and "talking" quite a bit this month. She has begun sleeping in her big girl crib and is no longer swaddled at night because she flips over to sleep on her tummy. We weaned her of the pacifier, so she has found her thumb like her brother. This month her first tooth popped through! She is definitely teething earlier than Lucas. She now goes up for a bath every night at 7:30, nurses and goes to sleep around 8pm. She has been waking up closer to 7:30 which is great! She has started wanting to take 3 naps-morning, afternoon and evening. I find that unlike her brother, her nap lengths and time vary from day to day. Perhaps that is just part of being a second child. :) She nurses about 6 times a day and in the next two weeks we will be introducing baby cereal and purees! Time sure does fly!

A very happy baby!

Big brother comes in to tuck her in and say goodnight :)
