Alice is 5 months old now, weighs 12 lbs 14 oz, and is 24.5 inches tall. She learned to roll from back to front while we were in Reno and does it almost immediately when you put her down now. Of course, if you put her down on her tummy, she’ll roll right on to her back too. Needless to say, she doesn’t necessarily stay where we put her anymore.
She’s very smiley and is happy to be held by others. Her smile takes up half her face and her limbs swing excitedly as well. She sleeps very well too (usually). This week of adjusting back to Eastern time has been a pill, but normally she goes to bed around eight or nine, sleeps until three or four, nurses, and goes right back down until around seven. It’s wonderful. I hope it continues.
She’s grabbing toys and bringing them to her mouth now. One toy can keep her occupied for several minutes, like it would for Jane when she was a baby. She could really lock in on any toy with tags on it. Peter couldn’t seem to focus that long. He’d hold a toy for a second and then lose interest. Alice also finds her toes all the time (which is one of the cutest baby moves). I love it. It’s always her right foot and it goes straight into her mouth.
We’re obsessed with her she really is incredibly happy and easy going. Often she’s just staring at me with this little half smile, waiting to catch my eye and when she does, she breaks into this huge full body smile. She melts our hearts every day.
Peter came in while I was taking pictures of Alice and asked if he could hold Alice for a picture. You bet! Peter rarely pays ANY attention to Alice at all, much less wants to hold her. He was done in about 30 seconds.
