Aiden-5 Months Old!

Happy 5 month birthday to my sweet little girl!

 

This month Aiden has been busy. She got to start eating stage 1 foods, which she LOVES. She decided to cut her first tooth, and she started sitting up with support. We’re THIS CLOSE to her sitting up on her own, but not quite.

We weighed her at home, so it’s not as accurate as the doctor’s office but close enough. She weighs 13lbs! She’s wearing a combination of 3 month and 6 month clothing and size 1 shoes. We are completely in size 2 diapers now.

Foods she’s tried:

Peas

Pears

Bananas

Sweet Potatoes
Squash

Avacado

Mango

Apples
Carrots

She seems to like all of the food that we’ve given her, but I have to admit that if all I had been eating was Nutramagen then I’d be happy with anything else as well. We’ve been feeding her in the bumbo and in her high chair. She wants to be involved, which means that she wants to play in her food. Hugh and I have started looking at the stage 2 foods that she gets to start eating next month. We’re going to have read labels very carefully because many of them contain cream or other milk products. You’d be shocked at where you find milk products in food.

Teething has not been fun. Poor baby girl has been pretty fussy from the pain, but at least we’re finally to the point where she’s willing to try cold washcloths and crushed ice in a mesh bag. I’m hoping that it’ll get better soon. The cute side is that she wants to bite everything. Your face, your finger, your hand, the bumbo, the diaper wipes, the dogs….you name it-she wants to eat it.

She’s going to be a pink elephant for Halloween and we took some pictures in our homemade pumpkin patch! She seemed to have a good time, and I know that Hugh and I thoroughly enjoyed taking her photos.
