Let me start....
5 months ( weeks 16-20)
5 months! Summary of weeks 16-20
- Loves attention and showing off! Smiles to everyone and trying to meet the gase of people we meet or pass by, the moment she does she gives them big smile!
- Discovered her toes and likes sucking on them; she prefers left foot to her right one; if she has a sock on, she would suck it as well, so we started to have to change wet socks as well as wet bibs!
-Started to sit up without any support, for a short time will play with toys that lay in front of her ( big stuffed alphabet block, frog, etc.), then will lose balance; she ventures to let go of both of her hands, and use both of her hands to play
- She is sitting in baby-pod for her school
- Started to play “ball” with me, we use large stuffed alphabet block, and roll it to each other
- Enjoyed her balloons that float, daddy will bring a few balloons for her occasionally, and she loves watching them, she learned to pass the string from one hand to another; and learned that if she let go, it will fly away
-Had her first experience with the sand on the beach; sand was very warm, we sat her in it and she loved it, tried grabbing as much sand as she can in her tiny hands
- From one day to the next she decided that she does not want to sleep swaddled anymore, now she sleeps un-swaddled
-Went out to a church for the first time, loved the music, watching piano being played
- Had her first well-baby pediatrician visit. She was such a great sample during the whole time, -- smiled to everyone ( even though was awaken from sound sleep), asked to go potty and went immediately, did not cry for weighting and measuring, nursed. She weighted 12 and a half pounds.
- She wants to drink water from the "normal" water bottle like us, when we are out, grabbing the bottles at every chance, we gave her a try, she did not like the water but liked the experience; the same with cap
- Knows what we mean, when we say that we are going “to the park”, really shows her anticipation, even willing to be in a car seat. Loves going to the park! When we take a walk, sits up in her buggy and watches people and trees.
- Started Little Reader curriculum, she loves it!
- Started learning about animals ( Russian PPP, LR curriculum), and a little after we started she got a chance to see live baby chicks, ducks, geese, mice, hamsters in a farming supply store. After all these “real life” encounters she is all excited when “Animal facts” come as a lesson on her Little Reader!
- Had her first encounter with real horses on one day and 3 months baby horse on another! She was so excited, absolutely loved the baby horse.
- When she is done on the potty, she “gets up”, kind of leans with all her body forward, almost falling off, letting us know that she is finished
- Her favorite books “Christian Mother Goose Big book” ( “Pussy Cat”, “Lucy Lady Bug” and “God loves you little one”), “Whose Baby am I?” ( with big colorful illustrations of animal babies and russian "Colors" book
