Will being 5 months old make her magically sleep?



I hope so. But I suspect not. I guess we will find out in the morning. What happened to my good little sleeper? The one who slept from 7-7?

Did I overfeed her? Is she legitimately hungry at midnight and again at 3 and again at 6? Will she ever sleep again?Should I make her cry it out? Is the world ENDING???


Ok. maybe thats a slight over-reaction. Or maybe not.  I mean everyone's baby goes through the dreaded 4 month sleep regression. . . . . Riiight?


I really hope she starts sleeping better. But for right now I am just happy that she's my little chunky monkey lovely Lucie baby. She's happy, mostly. And healthy. (Except for that one spurt of allergies) And she goes on  diatribes telling daddy and me about her day and everything else. We laugh at her when she talks because its just so funny. This past weekend her voice all of a sudden took a raspy turn and she started to sound like Lord Voldemort. I hope she's over that now and that it was just a function of the aforementioned allergies.

(Who could resist these rolls?)




Ok allergies. I say allergies. The doctor says she's too young to have allergies. That's funny, because I'm pretty sure she has them. If you had seen her- itchy watery eyes, runny nose, sneezing, coughing.....
I guess not allergies. So, a cold? Maybe. Ugh. I'm still thinking allergies.

Just this past weekend we started giving LuLu oatmeal! She loves it. L-O-V-E-S it. Reaches for the bowl and bounces up and down in her bumbo waiting for the next spoonful. Which is good. Because I have been feeling the pressure breastfeeding a 16+ lb 5 month old who never turns down food, and solid food is going to be my best friend!!!



Lucie has moved up to mostly 6 to 9 month clothes, and is excited to put all of her 6-9 month clothes to use. She's still wearing some 3-6 month dresses. It seems like, so far she has grown out of the 0-3 month clothes at 2 months, and the 3-6 month clothes at 5 months. Will be interesting to see if she grows out of the 6-9 at 8 months?! She is wearing size 2 diapers still, but is getting ready to be in size 3. I think we may stay in size 3 for a while after this since they are 16-28 lbs.

We went on a dinner and shopping date with our friend, Emme and Mrs. Katie. Our daddies were camping. We learned all about Anthropolgie home goods.



We're doing pretty well and are looking forward to our aunts Meaghan and Lauren getting married this summer! What a fun summer it will be.

Here's a 5 month pic: Not a very great shot, but this squirmy wouldn't sit still and smile at the same time. In this particular pic her daddy is trying to make her smile, and she's just looking at him like, "It's 6:30 in the morning. Yeah, right."
