Raleigh turned 5 months old yesterday. I am amazed at how quickly she is mastering certain skills. It's like she doesn't want to be left behind by all the big people. She can easily roll over from back to belly and back again. She can pivot around on her belly to change directions and she has pulled herself up on her knees a couple of times.
She is reaching for toys on her blanket and can pull them closer to her for closer inspection. She will also try to reach for anything you have when she is sitting in your lap. The other day at Cracker Barrel she stuck her hands in my mashed taters with gravy. While I was reaching for a napkin to clean her hands, she grabbed my water glass and pulled it onto the floor where it shattered into pieces and sprayed the leg of the woman sitting at the next table. Ai-yah.
I have confirmed this morning that the lower left front tooth has broken through her gums - a momentous event. In celebration, she's getting her first serving of rice cereal! I loved cooking for Rowan (and still do) and am looking forward to making Raleigh's food, too. Nothing but fun ahead!
In addition to the zorbert communication she is also starting to vocalize a lot more. Just today she was "talking" by sucking in air and then letting out a loud yell. She sounded like an exotic bird! We had a conversation during our ride home yesterday that included more of the bird talk.
She still has a very sweet disposition and her sense of humor is emerging as well. I love this baby girl more and more each day. Happy birthday, yum-yum!
