Georgia Kate is 5 Months Old!

Weight: somewhere in the 17 lb. range (Miraculously, we haven't been to the pediatrician lately!)

Height: 27ish inches

What she's wearing: Size 2 diaper, 6-9 month clothes

Eating: Every 4 hours. She also eats fruits and veggies at breakfast, lunch and dinner time. She isn't overly wild about solids yet, but she's making progress. :) She is still on reflux medication, and we haven't tried reintroducing any cow's milk into my diet yet since she's been doing so well.

Sleeping: She eats at 8:00 pm, and then she falls asleep until 6:00 am when I wake her up to eat again. She's mostly weaned from the swaddler. At this point, we use it as more of a sleep sack.

Special Tricks: Georgia can roll over front to back and back to front...she just doesn't. The Diva prefers to just scream and cry until someone moves her to a new location. :-)

Activities: These days, Georgia hangs out mostly on her belly, in her Bumbo seat or in the high chair. She recently began weekly physical therapy for her torticollis and plagiocephaly so we have learned a LOT about positioning. We are working on strengthening her arms and getting her to push up on them when she's on her belly. She's starting to do this a little bit but has a long way to go. Georgia has also found her feet and plays with them all the time. Fascinating, those things!

Other than this, she continues to be pretty happy and giggly. She super ticklish now and still thinks her big brother is the funniest thing ever! Oliver's favorite thing right now is to yell "Hot dog" to her, and she just cracks up. It is too funny! Love those two!
