Ivy is Five Months

How many of us wish we could still grab our toes and fold in half? Five-month-old Ivy is a big fan. In fact, if you lay her down, you can bet that's the first thing she does.



Even with all those rolls, it's easy as pie for Ivy.

Ivy also is getting good at babbling "mamama" and otherwise belting "aaaaa". In fact, she's disturbed more than one Sacrament Meeting by her talking to us with her "aaaa's".



That bright pink baby bouncing around in her chair brings me so much joy. As well as watching her discover new things, like when we attached a toy bracelet to her arm.


Ivy tried solids for the first time, and we're still working to convince her they are something she will enjoy.



She's been ready to eat solids for a while and did amazing actually eating from a spoon. However, I don't know if it's taste or a texture issue, but Ivy sure did not enjoy the oatmeal once it entered her mouth. Despite what Kendrick says.


She's tried a couple more foods since her first baby-oatmeal experience, all with pretty much the same results: a scrunched up face and sudden loss of appetite. She should come around, right?


Those blue eyes and chubby cheeks! They make my heart melt.

Ivy also experiments with escaping the bumbo now that she is getting stronger and more mobile.


Luckily, she hasn't mastered the technique and remains safely seated, however hard she may try.


Snuggling this girl is my favorite and her baby smells and smooth, soft skin warm against my neck is probably the best feeling in the world.


She weaned from the swaddle like a champ and she's getting too big for me too fast. Five months seems so old, and it went by way too quickly. All these milestones of rolling over and eating solids, swaddle-weaning and babbling, are exciting and wonderful! I just wish I could take a little more time in each stage to soak it up even more now that I know how fast it'll really go.


Keep growing baby girl, you're the sweetest baby and we love you!
