Amber is 5 months!

Amber is doing great at 5 months! At 5 months:

• she is interacting with play
• she is moving objects from hand to hand
• she is sitting unsupported consistently for a brief time
• she is trying to scoot when on her tummy (usually succeeds in moving about 2-3 feet)
• she is really trying to roll over, but just not quite there yet
• she is eating rice cereal - and tries to feed herself...I put the cereal on the spoon, then she takes the spoon from me! Last night when I was feeding her- she added another step-- she would drop the spoon when it was empty!
• she is so very interested in what we are eating
• she has found her feet
• she is reaching with her hands to explore faces (makes my heart melt)
• she is still working on the teeth- those two bottom teeth are doing a disappearing act!
• she has, unfortunately, exeperienced her first cold and double ear infection- she was a trooper though it all!
• she has experienced her first: time in the lake, 4th of July/fireworks, wedding
