Brooke 5 Months

    In 9 days Brooke will be 5 months old. I know I say every time, but it flew by.  Today we took her to her 4 month check up. She is:
 13.15 lbs (25th percentile)
 24.25" (25th percentile)
 Head circumference:16.75" (85th percentile)  Healthy baby girl. We are waiting until 5 1/2 months to start cereal,  I already bought some a few weeks ago. She is such a happy baby, she smiles and laughs all the time!! Sophia it took forever for me to get a smile out of her. All you have to do is look at Brooke and she flashes a gummy smile. I love it. Even after her shots she screams during and after when I hold her she calms down fast and is all smiles soon after.  She rolls over from her back to her belly and did this about month ago for the first time. She has a hard time getting from her belly to her back, but eventually gets it. She is growing to love her saucer, she stands really well in it, and can turn the seat (Sophia likes to help at times) She is getting better coordination with her hands and fingers and being able to play with the toys attached to the saucer, she sits well in her Bumbo seat, I like that she is getting stronger and able to sit up with assistance. She still likes to get up at 430 of 5am for a feeding, not cool. There are some nights when she won't. She is definitely teething, the chewing on fingers and toys, constant slobbering and when I rub her gums I can feel a bottom tooth coming out, and now you can see the two bottoms popping out already.
   She has found her vocals, and can get pretty loud when she wants to. I say she is learning from Sophia, or maybe she needs to be loud in order to be heard. =)  She's very active with rolling, and when on belly she will kick her legs thinking its going to get her somewhere, and when she is put to sleep for the night she will be in different positions when you come in to check on her or get her in the morning, so she manages to move around in circles somehow. Just like Sophia did, Brooke when in her Bumbo will arch her back and hang upside down, she thinks it's funny, it looks painful. That's all for now, definitely enjoying by sweet cuddly little girl.
