Carden recently turned 5 months old and we are so looking forward to what she will be doing at this stage in her life. During her 4th month, she learned to roll over, got more chatty, and started to sleep through the night. She also discovered that most things can fit into her mouth--her hands, feet (oh to be that flexible), toys, and anything else she can get her hands on. She loves to grab a hand full of my hair if I don't have it pulled back out of her reach.
To celebrate turning 5 months old, we started her on rice cereal. What a mess! Note to all first time moms, don’t try this when the baby is really hungry because it will just frustrate them and cause lots of drama. She did much better after being nursed and had a little something already in her belly. She is getting much better eating from a spoon each time we feed her!
Philip came home for a visit and was able to spend a lot of quality time bonding with his niece. He hasn’t seen Carden since she was born, so he enjoyed playing with her since she is so much more interactive. I love how much he adores her! We are going to be in trouble when he come to visit when she is a toddler just based on how excited and silly he gets her at 5 months old.
