Today I am 5 Months!

Fell asleep while eating and look, no swaddle!

What a day! Sammie is 5 months old, she took some great naps, she jumped and we went to Target. I had my fingers crossed for a no-bloody poop, which we didn't have :) and she is doing so well sitting up on her own that I decided to leave the car seat in the car. I did bring in the in the shopping cart cover, but sadly, the Target carts are a little too big for Sammie to sit in. She kept leaning sideways with a leg kicked up. I figured I'd better just hold her.

Mama, can I have a pillow, please?

   I really wanted to start her on 'solid' food at 5 months, but then with the allergy, I thought it would be best to wait. However, this poor little girl just stares at food and wants to eat so badly, first the grapes, then the pineapple, give this girl some food!!  So, Sammie and I talked about getting some bananas while at Target, but I totally forgot. Good thing, because I remembered that we should start with orange veggies. When we got home (after a quick nap and a feeding) I steamed a little bit of  a carrot and Daddy mushed it and added some breast milk. She made a yucky face, but took right to it. She even tried to feed herself! What an AWESOME girl!!!
  Since it was a beautiful day, we went for a walk with the jogging stroller.  Of course Sammie fell asleep again, so instead of coming home, Daddy and I walked a little longer to let her sleep. Boy was she tired tonight! She sure did have a big day!
