5 months, a little late.

...because this one is a SQUIRMER!

She refuses to be on her back for very long these days so pictures like this do not work anymore.  

Yes, her hair is still as red as ever.  Yes, her eyes are still as blue as ever.  Where did this child come from?!?  We won't have another checkup until she's 6 months, but I can tell she'll still be off the charts in size. 

 

Here are a few things Beetle has been up to lately:

-scooting along the wood floors on her belly

-doing full on back bends. no lie.

-giggling!

-hanging out with her uncle Myles, who has agreed to help us out and babysit so we don't have to keep dragging her out at 5:30 to hand her off in Time Square (the lights are not a good bedtime routine)

-tasting her first solid foods (carrots, peas and bananas...yummmm!)

That last one makes me nervous.  Lu LOVES to watch us eat, to eat herself and, the other day, I was having a glass of water - Lua reached for it and took a sip!  I've heard that sometimes babies wean themselves and I really want to keep breastfeeding for as long as possible, so let's hope she still likes boob more than plain old water!
