BABY CEREAL IN BOTTLE

I can not even believe it but my baby girl is NOW ARMY CRAWLING and has been for awhile now. She definitely gets where she wants to go. She rocks back and forth, rolls constantly, and enjoys doing her version of an army crawl. At this rate she will be walking in a couple months. OH MY GOD.

In the last couple weeks she has started saying "Mama", can you say heart melting?! We have no idea if she REALLY associates that word with me but I will take it anyway. Wow. It is amazing. It took Austin like TWO FREAKING years to say my name ha ha. She also says "Ga" a lot and "Ba" for bottle we think.

She loves sticking her tongue out.

She loves getting tickled.

Her hair is getting a lot longer. Long enough that it is fuzzy and moves. OMG SOOOO CUTE.

She loves sitting on furniture like a big girl.

She loves watching her crazy brothers. OMG. She LOVES them and they love her. Nathan and Haley especially have an amazing bond.

She loves dancing with Daddy every night on his knees. She is the best baby dancer EVER. *grin*

She really loves her exersaucer and still enjoys her bouncer and swing from time to time.

She like NEVER sleeps during the day. She can go from 5 or 6 am to 10 pm without sleeping more than a hour. OMG soooooo tiring for me but our kids have never been long sleepers. None of them. She is following her brothers in that aspect. For her entire fifth month she slept really good at night, I MEAN HELLO! the girl doesn't sleep at all, all day long. She normally goes to bed anywhere between 9 or 10 and wakes up around 5 or 6 for the day. About half the time she will wake up once for a feeding.

She is still wearing 3-6 months and 6-9 months clothing.

She is now taking 6 ounce bottles.

She is my last baby and I am SOOOOO not in hurry for her to grow up so I have yet to start her on cereal. I know I know. Oh well they usually say to start that between 3 and 6 months so I am right at the cut off. ha ha. We need to start feeding her cereal ASAP.

The girl is always looking for books and paper to eat. That is usually what she is on the look out for when she is rolling around and army crawling on the floor.

She is an amazing HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY baby. It just warms our hearts so very much knowing how HAPPY she is.

She is our little angel dolly. That's for sure.

I used up the last of her apples for breakfast this morning. She was fine with them topped up with apple juice and cereal, here's hoping that she'll be ok with just cereal tomorrow mixed with apple juice. I hope so. I also used nearly all of the bottles today as well so I'll not only have to clean bottle but chop apples and pears and such.

She didn't nap at all really today, a minute or two on the skytrain and maybe 30 minutes in the car ride home. But yeah we went out to see Brandi at work again. We took the skytrain out and stopped at Imperial Hobbies as they were having a sale. I picked up some D&D stuff for 25% off so I was keen on that. We visited a bunch at Brandi's work and then went up for lunch at the terminal. Isobel had a grand time flirt with all Brandi's co-workers.

We headed home and picked up some groceries on the way, as well rented a couple games as Brandi needs some idea what to get me for my birthday. Also picked up Confessions of a Shopaholic (for Brandi) and The Reader (Naked Kate Winslet!!). Brandi bought a screamer for part of her dinner and fed Isobel some of the ice cream. She was very happy and yummed it up a lot. She would yell at Brandi if she didn't have any ice cream in her mouth.

We had a bath and some naked time and then Isobel went to bed pretty easily. We stayed up and played some video games and Brandi knocked off earlier than I did. I'm going to bed super late >_>

Oh and I nearly forgot. Last night Brandi went to sleep in the spare room as Isobel wasn't going down at all. I stay in the main bed and watched her crawl around and babble for like an hour before she went to bed. One of the reasons she took so long is that she was playing with our venetian blinds which I kept saying "No!" to. She would kind of look back in that "who me?" way. Now our bed has no frame, it's a foam mattress on a coil mattress on a box spring. It's about an inch higher than our window sill. She had one hand on the foam and one hand reaching up to grab the blinds (Daddy said No baby!!!) and her hand slipped, she did a faceplant on the window sill. Waaa!!!! Brandi rushed in and breast fed her to calm her down and bolted. Isobel still tried to get at the blinds...what am I going to do with that girl??
