November Memories

This month Michaela had a growth spurt that seemed to influence her behaviorally. Previously, she had been sleeping 11 hours straight but now sleeps 8 hours before waking for one night feeding to fuel her growth! During this period she regressed on her rolling and vocalization for a couple of weeks but at the end of the month she resumed rolling with a lot more strength and had a more mature babbling voice! She likes to do happy yelling in the evenings and rarely cries these days. She is very interested in watching us eat. Solids are coming soon! We are working on sitting up unassisted, which she can do in her Boppy a little bit. At 5 months old, Michaela was 15 lbs. and 24 3/4 inches which put her around the 50th percentile for weigth and length, up from around the 30th percentile in October.

Achievements This Month:
  • Big growth spurt
  • sits up unassisted for ~10 seconds
  • laughs, babbles, happy yells
  • lost interest in pacifieer
  • stands/sits up in her exersaucer
