So Big!

I can't believe how quickly Angela is growing. She will be turning five months old on Wednesday and although she has not hit some of her milestones that she should be, she has surpassed others. Angela is now weighing 21.5 pounds, and she is 27.5 inches long. We needed to buy a new car seat as she has outgrown her original one. We are going to need to bring in her high chair for feedings because her legs are getting so thick that they don't fit nicely in her Bumbo seat anymore. She is not wanting to roll over because she refuses to let me put her down for longer than a diaper change and five minutes of play. She loves playing in her jumper that her Auntie Cammie bought for her and she loves to walk a little bit with help. She is starting to stand up while holding on to things, but that is only certain objects, such as her crib.

Tyler and I have decided that we needed to break the habit of rocking or bouncing her to sleep and get her more into the habit of falling asleep on her own. We started last Saturday, by just laying her in our bed and lying with her so she knew that we were there but it was okay for her to go to sleep on her own. She is falling asleep like this just find now and when we will continue to do it this way until the Thanksgiving holiday is done, then we will transition to just sitting beside her bed while she sleeps on her own.

For a present we have purchased a Fighting Sioux Cheerleader outfit and although it was precious on her, it fit her already and we were looking for it to fit her in February. What a dilemma we have had these past few weeks of buying outfits, Angela already fitting in them and having to exchange then two or three times. Let's hope it doesn't continue this way for a long time!
