Campbell is 5 months old already! I think I say this every time, but time is really flying by the second time around! This is such a fun age. She is still a baby but very interactive. It is hard to picture our little family without her! We love you, Campbell!

Stats:

• Height and Weight are unknown but she still has some little rolls on her legs and arms and a big fat belly. And she still seems long to me. We’ll get the exact measurements in a month at her 6 month check up.

• Campbell is flirting with the idea of sitting up. She’s got some great core muscles and will pull her self up to sitting if she is on an incline (like in her bath or bouncy chair) and she will sometimes sit in a tripod but she always falls out of it after a couple of seconds.

 

• Campbell loves standing up. She probably just likes to see what’s going on around her!

 

• We haven’t gotten a lot better about tummy time, but we try to do it when we remember. Campbell doesn’t hate it and will tolerate it for about 5 minutes. She can roll over but I don’t think she always remembers to!

• Campbell loves her feet! She is kind of obsessed with them. I am glad she find them so entertaining. Maybe she will win the dance team’s “most flexible” award just like mommy!

• Campbell is still sleeping pretty well. She goes to bed at about 8 and wakes up between 7 and 8. I usually feed her before I go to bed at about 11 but lately I have been skipping that feeding. Most of the time she wakes up at about 5 when I skip her dream feed, but she has slept the whole night through a couple of times.
• We are also experimenting with swaddles and sleep sacks. She really likes to be swaddled but it is SO HOT here that I am trying to transition her to the sleep sack. Right now she is swaddled at night and during her mid day two hour nap but the other two naps are in a sleep sack. She is doing pretty well! I’m hoping to have her in just a sleep sack by 6 months. I also tried swaddling with one arm out but she doesn’t suck on her fingers like Sam did, so what’s the point?

• She is really working on her fine motor skills. She loves grabbing toys (or anything else) and putting them in her mouth.

• Campbell is such a smiley, happy girl. She almost never fusses except when she is tired and even then it’s pretty minimal. We are so happy to have her in our lives!
