5 Months Old

5 Months old today! Yay!

She has changed SOO much since we brought her home. I love seeing her little personality coming through.

Moya loves to smile and laugh and it is very easy to get her to do so. All you have to do is smile at her or talk to her, kiss her on the cheek and she'll give you a big grin.

This month also brought her two teeth and the ability to roll over. She wants to sit really bad too and will try and lift her self forward with her tummy muscles. Balance and that big ole head are her trouble points still.

She also wants to eat big kid food. Eating in front of her has gotten to be very uncomfortable. She'll watch you and smack her lips and even reach for what you're eating. You can't help but feel bad. Soon enough she'll be ready for it.

Speaking of food she does the cutest thing when she's hungry. If you show her the bottle before popping it in her mouth her eyes get huge, she wiggles and flaps her arms, she opens her mouth really big, and she'll even yell at you. If you put it close to her she'll grab it and push it to her mouth. A total "gimme that NOW!!!" dance.

Sleeping is still more or less the same. She power naps during the day; 10 to 20 minutes snoozes. Then she'll sleep great at night. Only change is that she can go longer at night without eating. She also doesn't pee much during the night so I hardly ever have to change her! From a night time sleep stand point she's awesome. I just wish she'd take a good nap during the day for her sake.

Her personality is becoming more and more clear. She's a sweetheart and I think is going to have a good sense of humor. :)

Second Tooth!

So yesterday Moya sprouted her first tooth, and today... BAM! Tooth number two!! I couldn't believe it! Two teeth in two days. My baby seems to be in a hurry to grow up.

Tooth 2 hasn't broke the gum just yet. It is right under the surface. So she's chewing all the time. Poor baby.

But pretty soon we'll have a little toothy grin looking up at us.

First Tooth!

I was giving Moya a bath tonight and notices something in her mouth. I rubbed my finger on her gum and sure enough... a little tooth!!! Lower front left! What a big girl!

Baby Chatter

My little chatter box. Moya loves to talk, yell, giggle, and blabber away. Sometimes she's so loud that no one else can talk because no one else can hear the other speaking! :)

But she has a fantastically cute voice. She wants to communicate with us so badly.

Airplane Rides

Moya LOVES to fly. She like to be held up over our heads and brought down to our faces. She also likes airplane rides.

The only risk with doing this is the drool and spit up factor. So far I've gotten only some drool.

Boo!

Had Moya on the changing table today and played boo with her. I'd duck down below the table and then jump out and say 'boo!' She'd jump with a start and then smile and laugh. She's a very jumpy baby, easily startled, but rarely cries about it... most the time she seems to think everything that make her jump is really funny.

First Time Rolling From Back to Tummy!

Moya has been really really close to rolling over for awhile now. But today she finally did it!

We had her on her play mat downstairs and I'm laying on the floor next to her trying to get her to do it. Finally Belle said "I'll try!" She got down and said "Moya!" and Moya rolled right over to her!!! This is probably just the beginning of Moya trying to follow her big sister around. :)

Belle was thrilled to have helped her do it. And I'm so proud of my little Moya for getting over onto that tummy. ... now she's just got to figure out how to roll back!
