5 months old

Today Josie is 5 months old. At 5 months, she's still as cute as a button and keeps us laughing all day long. In the last month we've introduced a handful of new tastes to her nightly rice cereal. Things like peas and squash are quite tasty, but peaches must taste too tart and her facial expressions tell us so! We're keeping up with several 6oz bottles throughout the day too. We aren't quite sure how many pounds she's up to now, but those snaps on the 3 mo onsies are getting a little tough to snap these days. Looking at what we have in our 6 month sizes here pretty soon...


Play time has changed quite a bit over the last few weeks with Josie showing a lot more interest in her toys. On her belly, reaching for her toys, inspecting and of course tasting anything that will fit in her mouth. She spends hours a day in her exersaucer - but her most favorite pal of all - Mickey Mouse. Mickey Mouse clubhouse on tv, to be exact. When nothing else calms her down, turn on MM clubhouse and watch her eyes dart to the tv and become immediately engrossed in what's going on at the clubhouse today. No other show has quite the same effect. Mom and dad are pretty good at singing along too :)

There has not, however, been any relief in the drool department. Pretty much in a bib all day long! No signs of teeth, just lots and lots of drool. Mama will be quite happy the day we can go without a bib for more than 5 minutes!
