Baby Girl Update :) 5 months!

The little misses of the house is getting bigger and cuter everyday.  Some cool things that she's done as of late... She rolled over for the first time at four months old.  She has done it maybe a total of three times this past month.  So it hasn't taken off, but she's done it.  She can also sit up on her own for quite awhile.   She's not to where I can just leave her in a room sitting up, but she can sit up pretty good with me close by to catch her after she's tired.  She has been introduced to oatmeal and rice cereal, but still does not do too well with the spoon.  Hopefully soon she will get a better hang of it, especially because she gets to start veggies and fruits in less than a month. :)
Makenna is such a nice, calm, pleasant baby.  She is soo easy.  She is content and hardly ever cries.  As long as she is not tired or hungry she is as happy as they come.  She has the biggest, brightest smile and when she gets excited she does what we have termed the "chicken dance."  She moves her head and body back and forth with excitement and smiles.  She has laughed a couple times, but mostly just smiles.  She has also started to baby talk a lot more.  Mostly to herself, like if she wakes up in the middle of the night or she is being left alone during the day (which does not happen often with her hands-on big brother!) but if she is alone she will talk away.  She doesn't talk much to any of us yet though!  She is such a good girl and we all love her so much.
Four month shot:

Her doctor was on vacation for the holidays so we were not able to get her in for her four month check up until she was just a few days away from 5 months.  At her appointment she weighed 14 pounds 4 ounces and was 23 1/2 inches long.  This put her in the 50th percentile for both height and weight.  So she is a nice average baby!
Here is her five month shot:
The poor baby caught her first cold.  Noah was never sick until he was like 19 months old, but she's already been sick.  It was sad to hear her all congested especially at night.  She is starting to get better though.  We had our first taste of "family" sickness.  All four of us had some kind of cold and felt yucky.  Luckily we are on the mend.  I love my baby girl so much...and her brother too, of course! :)
