5 Months!

So, I am a little behind in posting this but - Arden turned five months old on August 5th.  Where does the time go?!  We ate breakfast out with our Mimih and then did a little back to school shopping.  Arden and Loren both did great.

Here are a few things Arden is up to right now:
-Rolling around tons.  Typically, she rolls from her back to her tummy but then has trouble getting from her tummy to her back.  (Which the doctor tells me is easier?)
-Squealing with joy and having laughing spells when one of us is trying to make her smile.
-Reaching for and grabbing things in front of her including hair.
-Lots of cooing and "talking"  Occasionally, I think I hear "Mama" but I guess I am just wishing that.  It is noted that "Mama" was Loren's first word!!
-Arden is still sleeping well at night.  Occasionally, I have to get up and put the pacifier back in her mouth and stroke her face a bit when she stirs in the night.
-Arden is wearing size 6- 9 month clothes and a size 3 diaper.  (We ran into a friend of my mother's in the mall and while referring to Arden said, "She doesn't miss a meal does she?!)
-She typically still eats 5 or 6 times a day just depending on how hungry she is and how much she naps
-Arden is not so predictable with the eating of solids.  Some days she really seems to enjoy them and others is not very interested.

I can hear the rest of my little family laying in the bed with the girls laughing and squealing.  I better get in there and enjoy family time too!
