5 Months Old

Aunt Sarah came to visit over Easter weekend. Bonnie enjoyed meeting her and especially chewing on her! Bonnie went to her first movie at the movie theater on Easter. We convinced Aunt Sarah to see The Hunger Games even though she had already seen it. Bonnie was really interested in the movie and had a hard time settling down at first but Aunt Sarah was nice enough to hold and calm her down so mommy and daddy could focus on the movie.

On Wednesday Bonnie turned 5 months old. She had a follow up doctor's appointment on Friday to check on her weight. Turns our she's really been chunking up this month. She put on 1lb 7oz in one month! That puts her at 13lb 14oz, which is the 25th percentile. She's also grown almost two inches over the past month too. She was 25.8 inches long which puts her in the 78th percentile. Talk about a growth spurt!

We took these pictures of our Baby Gnome on her 5 month birthday. I guess we should look for a baby gnome to add to our gnome family.

We're still trying to introduce solid foods into Bonnie's diet but she still continues to be less than interested. Two weekends ago she actually swallowed a few spoonfuls of rice cereal so on Thursday we decided to give sweet potatoes a try. She was not interested at all. I tried again this afternoon and she swallowed a couple of spoonfulls so we're making progress.

Bonnie has been making some really great progress over the past few weeks. She has mastered rolling over and is now making some indications that she will be crawling any week now. She is still not really interested in sitting up. Why sit up when you can stand? Her exersaucer has been her new favorite toy. She loves playing with all the toys but I think she likes getting a better view of everything going on in the house.
