Lina is almost 5 months old! She feels like she’s been in our lives forever!
Sleeping
Ever since Lina had the flu, she hasn’t been sleeping through the night. There was this delicious few weeks where she slept 9 to 10 hours straight. We’d put her to bed at 9pm and she’d wake up at 6am the next morning! But those days are long gone. For some reason she’ll wake up at 3am, or 2am, sometimes 4am for a late-night feed. Then again at 6am or 7am. Ugh. I’m grumpy all morning. We’ve been experimenting with all kinds of things. Putting her to sleep earlier. Waking her up for a play and feed before we go to bed. Not letting her sleep too much during the day. Tiring her out with some serious playtime before she goes to bed. But nothing seems to work. We’re going to try “doing nothing” next.
Food
Stuff Lina Has Eaten:
(1) Breastmilk
(2) Rice Cereal - It’s like mushy milk. she loves it!
(3) Apple - she only tasted it once. Judging by the look on her face, you’d have thought I fed her lemons. she couldn’t keep it down, so I skipped it and moved onto the next food.
(4) Pumpkin - Lina hates pumpkin! It’s hard work getting it into her mouth when she’s grumpy. But she’ll eat it when she’s hungry. It’s very cute to watch. I should take some pics.
(5) Carrot - I think Lina's not sure about this one. Maybe because it’s orange like the pumpkin. But she’ll scoff it anyway.
Growth
I haven’t weighed her recently, but I judging from our last weighing appointment, she should be about 6.4kgs. Which is waaay too much for me to carry for long periods of time.
Her eyes have stopped changing color. It’s kinda settled down to a light grey-brown/green. She’s definitely chubbier all over. But not at michelin or sumo status yet. We think she might be teething too! Eeep!
Development
She can roll over from her back to her front!
She can roll over with a string of toys in one hand!
She giggles and laughs at my bed-sock puppet shows.
She always goes for the green toys.
She can burp all by herself now.
The word “bath” makes her all excited.
