August 25, 2009Abby is five months old today. Mommy cannot believe it.
She's getting very big. I don't know how much she weighs, but my guess would be over fourteen pounds. She still loves her formula but she also likes sweet potatos, green beans and squash. We're trying carrots and peas soon, but Mommy hasn't been able to face stomaching that smell yet. (Hey -- give me some credit -- I stomached the sweet potatos and squash!) She's not so sure about infant cereal -- she thinks she likes the veggies more. I've also found some "1st stage" meats, but I think I'm going to get her into fruits and used to those and veggies before I introduce meat pudding. Not quite ready to face that one yet.
She's eating like crazy recently; I think we're about to see another growth spurt. She's getting pretty tall. And she's incredibly strong. She stands with very little help (just for balance and a little support) and she has one of those jumper seats that you hang in the doorway and her feet touch the ground, so she can bounce herself.
Her baby sitter has a standing playcenter thing (I have no clue what to call it cause it's not really a walker) and Abby seems to like that. Her feet just touch the bottom, but it seems to make her feel like a big girl. She likes to watch the "big kids" there playing and dancing and seems to want to do the same. She started trying to crawl too -- I think she saw the other baby crawling and thinks it might not look like a bad idea.
She's a chatter box. She talks like crazy. She babbles and coos and just recently started really laughing. It's a great great sound.
Mommy's been working a lot the past few weeks. I worked fifty hours last week and over thirty five the week before. Looks like I'll be pushing thirty five hours this week probably, and that's with taking today off to take Abby to get her shots and get WIC transferred from Key West. I'm still looking for a permanent and better paying job but, for the moment, it looks like I'll be able to work pretty much as much as I want to for awhile at least. Still keep your fingers crossed that something more permanent comes through though. But like I said, Mommy's been working a lot and Abby's gone back to getting up between 4:30 and 5 am. Mommy? Is exhausted and going to sleep here very soon. I'm looking forward to the day she decides to start sleeping through the night.
We're all three going to the Farm next week for part of Labor Day weekend -- this makes me VERY happy. I can't wait for Abby to meet her aunt and uncle and great grandma -- and I can't wait to see them either! You are not going to believe how big she is. It's amazing!
Oh, and there's new videos up on her site (http://www.youtube.com/angelynnsmommy) that you should all check out -- her babbling, rolling over, eating, all kinds of good stuff. Including her recent trick which is trying to steal the camera -- rather cute.
Mommy is sleepy. I go to bed now. I love you all!
