The Daigle Family: 5 Months

This last month has been full of many changes. This is the stage I absolutely love during infancy. Addison is full of laughter and smiles that is easily brought on by simply speaking to her, making funny noises, tickling her, and from watching her silly brother. Addison is very verbal and is constantly trying to talk to us (I don't remember Andrew doing this as much). She is rolling over well both ways (best back to tummy) and scoots all around her blanket. She loves to have a toy in her hand when playing (but watch out b/c she has quite an arm on her) and she tries to grab anything you have in your hand (ie. chips, drink, book, etc.) We recently started working on sitting and she can remain upright for about 3-5 seconds. She is definitely starting the teething phase b/c she is constantly chewing on all her toys, sucking her arm, and chewing on my fingers/shoulder. She still sleeps well at night (9p-7:30 to 8 am) and takes 2 good naps and 1-2 catnaps a day. She nurses 5 times a day and we recently started some rice cereal in the evenings. She wasn't so sure about the cereal at first but seems to be taking to it. She still isn't crazy about the whole sipee cup thing for milk but she finally gives in while i'm at work.
