Victoria is Almost Five Months Old!

Well, between getting ready to go out of town, VBS and Mommy and Victoria getting sick, I managed to miss posting that Victoria's four month mark, so I thought I would get a head start on five months. She will be five months next week and is doing fantastic. She weighed 14 1/2 lbs and is just over 25 inches long. That puts her in the 75% on height and weight ... so a big girl, but in proportion!

She rolled over for the first time just the other day ... back to front. I don't think that Riley ever rolled over. For those of yo that knew him back then, there was alot of him to roll over. We started feeding her cereal last month and just introduced green beans last night. She loves to eat! She took to cereal and green beans like a champ ... I can't wait to give her more! She eats two meals a day, one in the morning and one in the evening. She still nurses about 5 times a day and will usually take one bottle in the evening to give Mommy a break.

She smiles ALL the time! She just got used to laughing and is starting to do that more, along with squeals, squeaks and gurgles ... just so adorable. She went swimming with some friends from church today in Pops and Gigi's pool (my parents) and just loved it! She would just watch everyone and get so excited! She smiles when she hears her big brother and Daddy and looks everywhere for them. She hates to be alone. If by some chance we leave the room for just a second, she gets very upset.

She wants to sit up really bad, but I think that we are still a month or so away from that. She loves to stand in your lap and prefers that position to any when she is awake. She is still sleeping through the night and is taking 2-3 naps per day. She is getting to where she can be awake in the evening now for about 4 hours.

She is our little princess!
