Autumn // 5 Months


Time for some more tidbits about our youngest, littlest sweetheart!

- HANDS. She is obsessed with them. Sometimes she'll grab a toy or her clothes and bring them to her mouth, but usually it's just her hands. Tasty hands!!!

- She's SO close to being able to "tripod" (sitting with the legs out in a "V" shape with the hands on the ground in front of her for balance). Give it another week or two, I'd guess.

- Blue eyes! We weren't quite sure before, but those eyes are definitely blue.

- Doug's sneezes scare her. Other sneezes have scared her on occasion, but Doug's sneezes always get her crying. Basically, if you have a loud sneeze, you're going to scare Autumn. Poor baby.

- I let her try some mashed banana last week. She didn't seem very impressed, but she also seems to still have some of her tongue-thrust reflex. I'm waiting another week or two to try more solids so the reflex can completely disappear and she'll be able to actually swallow her food.

- She likes being tossed in the air now, hooray!

- She found her toes this past month, and loves to grab them and wave them around (when her hands aren't shoved in her mouth, that is. Haha!)

- She's a smiley little baby with a sweet laugh, and she's ticklish under her arms and neck.

- She is now a full-blown tummy sleeper. All curled up with her bum in the air and everything. She cries if she ends up on her back while trying to sleep.

- She gets a little frantic/hyper while nursing sometimes, and holding my thumb calms her down.

- She had to learn to accept breast milk in a bottle the past month because I had to be gone a couple different evenings and couldn't take her with me. It took a few tries to get her to actually drink anything, and she's still not the biggest fan of the bottle method. That's okay baby girl, I'm not the biggest fan of pumping!

- She's rockin' a gorgeous, dark mullet at the base of the back of her head. Haha!

- She is in a phase where she does NOT like baths.

- It's fun to see Nicole and Austin interact with her! She loves to smile at them.
