Maddie Kate is 5 Months Old!

Sweet Maddie Kate is 5 months old and she's such a doll.  She weighs 15 pounds.  We started giving her rice cereal at night between 4 and 5 months...she wasn't too sure at first but she's getting the hang of it.  We're doing it now just to get her used to eating from a spoon and also to get used to solids...we'll start a more consistent solid feeding schedule and with fruits and veggies when she turns 6 months.  Miss MK is just the sweetest baby.  She has perfected rolling over and now won't spend much time on her back at all.  She's been sleeping in her crib for a couple of weeks now and every night she ends up on her side or on her belly.  She still sucks her thumb but since she's cut two teeth and they're bothering her she also likes to chew on a paci...or Sophie the giraffe or the chew beads Nana got her...or tonight, Daddy's finger.  Ha!  I finally feel like we have more of a normal routine.  MK goes to bed fairly consistently between 7 and 8 - right around the same time as her big brother and she sometimes sleeps all night and sometimes wakes up around 1ish for a bottle.  We are enjoying a little bit of consistency but we are still looking forward to the day she sleeps all night more than one night at a time.  I'll post more when I post her 6 month stats and pictures but here are a couple from her 5 month photo shoot and from her first taste of rice cereal!  She's wearing the same onesie in both sets of pictures...totally a coincidence, however, Mommy is not fashion forward...and while she has found some super cute things and is getting better...MK still wears the same things over and over...and over.

What is that?  I'm busy sucking my thumb.

Okay, I'll try it but only if you let me do it myself!

What is that, wallpaper paste?

On second thought...it's not so bad!  Keep it coming!
