Five Months

Here is our darling girl! Five months old already. Unfortunately she is developing a serious dependence on Mommy. She refuses to take a bottle and cries when we leave her with sitters or let new people hold her. This is a strange experience for us because Lily loved taking bottles and loved being around new people. Every child is different. We're learning to understand that. Annie is starting to accept solid foods. Her favorite is bananas. She still doesn't like rice cereal, but we give her a little every day hoping she'll develop a taste for it. She is rolling like a champ - back to belly and belly to back. She loves tummy time as long as she has her favorite toy to play with. She is interested in books and picking up anything within reach. She especially loves to grab the food off our plates at dinner time. Annie loves getting attention from Daddy. She lights up when he plays with her. She is generally sleeping well - Goes down at 8:30 and gets up around 6:00. Annie loves to play with her big sister and Lily is working on being gentle while they play. They are cute together. We hope they will grow to be great friends.
