5 Months Old

I'm a little late, but I want to start blogging about Tori each month about the things she is doing and the progress she is making. Tori turned 5 months old on January 2nd. We are loving this stage in her life. She is so much fun and gets cuter by the day!

At 5 months old Tori loves to:

1.Take baths

-She's always loved the bath, but has a lot more fun now splashing around-

She looks so cute in her ducky towel.

2. Play with her toys, play in her bumbo, and of course play with US!

-She's getting really good at grabbing things and putting them to her mouth-

-She laughs A LOT-

-She loves to talk talk talk (mostly cooing and blowing bubbles)-

Her jungle gym Grandpa Monsen gave her for Christmas

Shoulder ride with Dadda!

Tori is getting really close to rolling over. You can tell she wants to, she just hasn't quite figured it out yet. It might be our fault in part that she hasn't rolled over yet, we don't give her as much tummy time as we should. We're in no hurry though, we know she'll do it when she's ready.

During Tori's 5th month of life we've also started to introduce rice cereal. She hasn't quite got the hang of it yet either, but I know she will soon. She is always watching Tyler and I so curiously while we eat. Here are some Tori's eating attempts...

The first attempt didn't work out so well, so we ended up feeding it to her through her bottle.

The 2nd time was a bit better, she ate more, and didn't get as frustrated. She sure made a mess though! :)

As a 5 month old Tori has also become very ticklish. Tyler and I love to tickle her (sometimes a little too much). She definitely has a temper on her though, and if we're doing something she doesn't like, she lets us know :)

Tori is also sleeping through the night, she usually wakes me up around 6/7 AM and then she goes back to bed after she eats till 9/10 AM. She loves to sleep in like her momma. 

Right now she is wearing 0-3 months clothes, and 3 months. She's still our little girl, but we are very proud of her progress and growth.

Here are a couple more pictures from this month:
