The wee-1 is 5 months old. Where has time gone?? I just had her for goodness sake! She is starting to master sitting, but only if I put her in that position. This week she started sleeping in her crib. She slept without a problem and it's probably because I wasn't next to her to poke and prod her to make sure she is still breathing. What can I say... I still check on the 3-footer before I go to bed and she's 4. I'm what you would call overprotective and paranoid. So many milestones for the baby... she's rolling all over the place. I noticed her tucking her knees under slightly, but no where near crawling yet. We let her sample a little bit of rice cereal tonight. Incredibly watered down with formula, so I don't know if I would really call it cereal. I was hoping the cereal would help it stay on the spoon a little better in hopes of making less of a mess, but since I added practically nothing, a mess still occurred. It was more like, "Here, try this formula you already drink on a daily basis with a light sprinkling of rice cereal on top." Really, I wanted to see if she still had the extrusion reflex going on, which for the most part she still did. No biggie... saves me the trouble of having to add one more thing to my routine.

The 3-footer cracks me up like always! Today in the grocery store the hubs point at some cereal boxes.

The Hubs "Hey look, a koala bear."

The 3-footer "Hey! And there's a panda bear."

The Hubs "Yeah, sure is."

The 3-footer "And look! There's a gorilla bear!"

I couldn't help but laugh, it was cute. She's growing up way to quickly. Everyday it's a little more, and I wish I could hold onto this age, and just bottle her and all her innocence up. Ahhh, to be young again...
