5 months old

Where does the time go? Audrey is 5 months old today. She is 13 pounds 10 ounces and 24.5 inches tall. She is growing, growing, growing. Audrey mostly wears 6-month size clothes. She has regressed quite a bit with sleeping at night. Her current schedule is: she's usually asleep by 9 PM, wakes up around 1 AM, again around 5:30 AM, and then wakes up for the day somewhere between 8-9. I really wish I could get a 7-8 hour stretch out of her. One night she'll surprise me! :) She is still quite the cat napper. Sometimes I can get a good nap (1-2 hours) out of her shortly after lunchtime. She usually then takes a catnap in the morning and one right before dinnertime. We are working on her being able to put herself to sleep. Sometimes it works like a charm and other times she really struggles. Audrey loves to be on the go in her stroller. She is still a very smiley, giggly baby. Audrey has become quite fond of her exersaucer. She can spend a good 30-45 minutes in there just playing away. Just this past weekend she sat up for quite awhile doing the old tripod trick. Audrey is into slapping her hand when she gets excited. She'll slap her tummy, her side, or you if you're holding her. She still enjoys her swing and bouncy chair. She loves spending time on the floor playing with her toys as well. Most of all she enjoys watching Rachel, her entertainer. Audrey definitely brings a lot of joy and happiness to our home.

Hi Audrey,
You are sooooo cute. Oh, and your mom keeps commenting about needing you to sleep through the night; don't worry about that. You will have plenty of time to sleep through the night in the future. Just enjoy waking you mom and dad up in the middle of the night and spending some quality time with BOTH of them.
Love,
Uncle Paul

I see a little more of Rachel in her in this picture! Soo cute! I guess she's still getting used to a schedule after her big vacation to the U.S.? :)
