Juliette: 5 Months

Age: 5 months
Milestones: Rolling over!  She can roll over from back to front.  She can also sit for a few seconds at a time.  She's getting to be such a big girl!!
My Favorites: I've almost completely sleep trained her, only during her afternoon nap she wakes up after about 45 minutes and only goes back to sleep if I bring her into bed with me for some snuggles. I'm sure it COULD be fixed with some more training...except I have no interest in fixing it!  I love our one-on-one snuggle time and am ok with it going on as long as possible.
Her Favorites: Squeaking!  She is such a happy, friendly little squeaker!  She also loves playing with her rings.  I have them hanging from the top of her carseat and she gets SO excited whenever she sees them.  I let her play with them when she was sitting in her Bumbo, and every time she dropped them she would cry.  I didn't really realize how much she loved them until then! 
Surprises: She sleeps on her side!  I had no idea little babies did that and I love watching her roll to her side as soon as I lay her in the crib.  Oh yeah, and her hair is totally golden!  It was super dark when she was born, but now it's coming in pure gold!  Not blonde, definitely not blonde.  Not red.  And not brown.  It really is a glowy beautiful gold, and with the dark tips from when she was born, it's a very stylish reverse ombre.  She's so trendy!
Other Notable Moments:  Her first Valentine's Day!  She was too little for the Father/Daughter dance this year, but we went on a family picnic to celebrate and it was blast.  She also went to her first Rodeo and particularly enjoyed the sand box filled with corn kernels
Looking Forward To...: This whole month!  Well, the next two months, really.  We have so many fun visitors and plans coming up!  I can't wait for Juliette to meet and spend time with more of her family
