Five months old

How did this happen???
I swear she was just born and now she is five months old!

Mina's stats for five months

  • Height: 24" (I think, she was squirming when I tried to measure her by myself)
  • Weight: 13lbs 3 oz
  • Head: 16 3/4"
  • Diaper: size 2
  • Clothes: 3 month, but the pants tend to ride up and expose her legs
  • She has been waking up twice a night to eat but recently she switched it up to one early morning feeding around 4 AM.
  • Mina loves to make noise; screaming, giggling, cooing, sighing...crying.
  • No teeth yet, just lots of drool.
  • She still takes 4-5 naps a day of varying length.
  • She is learning how to sit up, she can do it for a few seconds but then tries to grab a toy and topples over.  









She LOVES to stand and loves to jump in her jumper.

Mina held this position for about a second

and then this happened:
I took her outside yesterday and took a picture in the snow.  I don't think she was overly thrilled with the idea:


Mina has figured out that if she arches her back enough times she can slide out of her chair.  Luckily she hasn't fallen out and we usually strap her in.
Her most successful attempt at sitting up:


Mina also had her first bout of illness this past month.  She had a cold over Christmas and then had a fever over New Years.  I took her in and her doctor diagnosed her with an acute sinus infection.  We are on day 9 of her antibiotics and she seems to be a lot better.  We used a saline spray and the NoseFrida as well as running a humidifer in her room.  It has been a little exhausting but we're glad she is feeling better!

  1. She weighs the same as my girls and wears the same size diapers. We are just moving them up to size two diapers this week. They are turning 8 months old on the 10th. lol
