5 Months

Maya hit five months on Friday.  But I've been slacking on the blogging.  She hasn't been sleeping very well so I haven't had much time or sleep.  She is sitting for short periods of time now.  She then gets tired or distracted by something and starts to fall over.  I'm not sure she stays upright long enough to really call her a sitter but it won't be long.  She is rolling from back to belly and belly to back whenever she wants now.  She rolls around the living room and turns in circles so it's impossible to keep her on the blanket.  Also, a few days ago she started pulling her knees up when she's on her belly and sometimes can push forward.  I'm guessing that this means crawling is just around the corner.  Hopefully she figures out how to use her arms to crawl or she'll have rug burn on her face.  

I'm guessing she's over 15 lbs now, probably closer to 16.  The bassinet she's been sleeping in has a weight limit of 15 lbs so we decided we should probably move her to her crib.  Friday night was her first night.  She did as well as she has been doing in our room, which isn't saying much but it went ok, no real change from her norm.  I think I cried more than she did that night.  The room felt so empty.  We will see if it gets any better.  If not I might be motivated enough to move furniture around, take the crib apart, and put it back together in our room. 

I've been working on stuff for her nursery during nap time and the evenings.  I've gotten some stuff finished.  And we picked up a bookshelf and lights for her room this weekend.  It's not all in her room yet but it's slowly getting there.

These are from July 22:



These are from July 23 (Late as usual on these.  We were out of color ink so I didn't get them printed in time for her actual birthday.):
