Mia is five months old

Mia is changing so much! I think back to just a few weeks ago and it amazes me how much she has changed even since then! It's so much fun, but sometimes very sad because those innocent, sweet times are gone.
She is still on a crazy sleeping schedule, but we hope that will change soon, she still wakes up once or twice at night to eat and goes right back to sleep. However she learned how to go to sleep on her on, we put her on her bassinet gives her the pacifier and her little giraffe (stuffed animal) and after 5 minutes she is a sleep.

She also sat up by herself for about 10 minutes while playing with her toys while I stood at a distance watching her, but I made sure that there was a Boppy-type pillow behind her to break her fall. Also in the last couple of weeks she has really started to squeal. It is this high, loud happy scream, it is so funny and now she is doing it at the daycare while the others babies are sleeping. Mia is just a happy baby in general.
She still hates tummy time- who knows if she will ever learn to crawl :)

She also loves reading time, when reading a book, she tries to scratch it, and it sounds like fingernails on a chalkboard to me when she does it! It makes turning the pages very difficult!
Also when she gets excited that flaps hers arms up and down and squeals! It's so cute! Often the legs go with the arms. She touches and looks at her hands and feet a lot; I’m waiting for the moment that she is going to start to put her feet in her mouth. She wants to bounce or jump all the time. I think that may be the reason behind the constant leg kicking. If you stand her up, more than likely she will try to jump.

Also over the weekend Mia had her first apples and we think she likes them.

BUT I WANT TO SIT UP

When we go to lay Mia down, she instantly demands to sit up, and she tries with all her might to do it. She can sometimes balance on her own, and other times plops over...it so cute. she love story time! When we read to here she kicks her legs like she is trying to run somewhere...she gets so excited! She love it when you gobble at her neck...she strts giggling so much :)

Eating solids!!!!

Mia has begun eating solids. The first thing she ate was rice cereal. At first she made the face like "eww what are you giving me" to oh ok, this is defferent then the milk I have been given the past 4.5 months. We don't think she really likes the cereal, but we'll keep trying. We have to give her something for 3 days in a row, and then we can try something else. So Mia has tried green peas, , carrots, peaches, pears, and sweet potatos. She loved the peaches, pears, and sweet potatos. Oh my goodness, she gulped those down so quickly, I thought she was in a race :)
