Five Months

Really?!? Five months have already passed since this cute little bug joined our family?!? Wow.

Here are some of her milestones:

-Rolling from front to back. We decided that she is so happy whether she is on her front or her back that she has no motivation to work on rolling over.
-She is playing with toys and sticking them into her mouth.
-Her schedule is getting more settled. I have really tried hard this past month to make sure we are home in the morning for a nap (this is REALLY hard with two older siblings!!!) and to only feed her every three hours. It has been tough, but we are getting there. As the third child, tough, she is going to have to be a little flexible. That's just the way it is.
-Sleeping in a crib! This was a big one, and no- I wasn't ready to put her in the crib. But, she wanted to be in the crib. She wasn't sleeping with me as she would just keep trying to snuggle close to me and want to nurse every 1-2 hours, so we really had no choice. She made the transition like a champ and is doing great in her crib for naps and night time.
-The last couple of days she has only been waking up once to nurse. I actually made her "cry it out" a few days ago. I don't really believe in the traditional sense of crying it out- I go in every 10 minutes to comfort until they finally fall asleep on their own. In her case, though, she only cried for about 3 minutes before she fell asleep.
-Claire and Audra are still the only ones who can get her to laugh- and boy do they have a lot of fun trying! Camille really doesn't make a lot of noises (seriously, she is the quietest baby- it is quite remarkable), but when she does it sure is cute!
-She LOVES sticking her tongue out at us (as evidenced in the first picture above).
-She has graduated from her swing during the day as well, so we are very excited to be getting rid of the swings! Wahoo!

We really just love this little girl to pieces- she really is practically perfect in every way!
