Adisyn is now 5 months old and weights about 12 pounds 5 oz. It's amazing how quickly she learns something new. It makes me realize how much we take for granted the little things in life. I always liked to "stop and smell the roses" but now realizing that I am witnessing Adisyn seeing, smelling, touching and doing things for the first time makes me realize that every little moment is special. I remember the first time she felt the rain - we were leaving a store and it started drizzling and she squinted her eyes like "what is that?" Mark and I had a picnic about a month ago and Adisyn was laying on her back on the blanket touched the grass for the 1st time. She's exploring her toys and bringing everything to her mouth. She's even learning how to get the pacifier into her mouth. I love that we are able to see her learn and grow before our eyes and it's so exciting!

Now that I figured out this rolling over thing I like to sleep on my tummy!
6/3/12 |
This past month, on May 30th, Mark and I woke up like we normally do before work at 6am. Mark looked at the monitor and he tapped me and said "look Adisyn has turned over for the 1st time!" Mark went to go get her out of the crib and she was on her elbows as happy as could be, just playing by herself. Ever since then she thinks it's a game to roll onto her stomach as soon as we put her to bed. She is able to get on her knees and sometimes on her hands and knees, but she hasn't really put the whole thing together yet.

| Sitting up! 5 months - 6/4/12 |
Adisyn is also able to sit now and is learning to fall. Around June 4th she was able to sit on her own for a second or two, then leans forward. She has starting stopping herself from the fall, but she has some to work on still.
Eating has began to be a lot more interesting. When mommy and daddy eat, she watches us closely, and sticks her tongue to the back of her bottom lip, making a chewing movement. Now, when she's hungry she'll do that tongue thing when she knows it's time to eat. The Pediatrician said that we can start her on rice anytime after 4 months and especially when she takes an interest in it. I think now's the time!
Bath time really cheers her up. If she's over tired, after a long, hard day, she loves to splash in the water. Since she really likes the bath, we were hoping she'd like the pool as well. It was about 90 degrees one Saturday, so we were hoping the cold water wouldn't bother her too much. When we were sitting out at the pool she feel asleep and lounged for a little while until she got hot. Then, I took her on the side of the pool, while Mark was in it, and we splashed her legs a little. She didn't seem to mind this so we pulled her in up to her waist. She wasn't sure of it at first, but then she really liked it! She loved to watch everything going on and seemed excited to be trying something new! We're loving the summer and we can't wait to see what she'll do next!
