5 Months

 So now my little girl is 5 months old. It's great. I'm happy to be out of the newborn phase. Frances is such a happy and content little baby and it is getting better in better. Everyone says how she looks like Henry, so I thought it would be fun to do a side by side (or up and down) comparison.  She does have the Henry "look" but I feel she is starting to diverge from it.  What do you think?

Frances loves George RR Martin

I am happy to say that I can tell the difference in pictures and not just by looking at their hair (or lack of). So, what is Frances doing at 5 months?  She now can roll over from back to front (but not front to back). She doesn't do the best with tummy time because she likes to puke in that position. Speaking of puke, she still has reflux, but we often forget to give her medicine and she does well. I think she is starting to grow out of it. I was hoping I could tell you all that she is sleeping through the night, but things are worse than ever! She is waking up 4-5 times a night. Not exactly sure why, but it could be related to teething. She usually goes back to sleep pretty well, but I'm not liking this new schedule.  I was hoping to put her in Henry's room at 6 months, but I can't have her waking up Henry all through the night. I guess she might just have to stay in the pack-n-play for a while. The pediatrician in me tells me that she is hitting all of her milestones (except rolling front to back) and is right on track.  The mother in me tells me that she is the best baby ever!
