Personally, I can't believe Abbi has been around this long, it certainly doesn't seem like its been this long, but yesterday, Abbi turned 5 months old. So that means another reflection about her.
A TON of things have changed about Abbi in the last month. The biggest most obvious change is that she now has a tooth! It sticks up pretty good out of the bottom of her gums and looks cute too.
She is still just as wiggly as she has ever been but now when she wiggles it seems to be with a purpose. We still haven't seen her roll over, but Mrs. Debbi says she does it pretty consistently. This past week she learned how to grasp her feet and so now when you change her diaper she's grabbing at her feet trying to hold on real tight. Very cute!
Another huge milestone this past month - we started feeding her rice cereal, the first steps to solid food. We're still working on 1 tablespoon at a time, but she does seem to be making progress at it. Once she's got a good hold on the whole spoon to mouth concept we can move on with tastier foods!
She's of course gotten bigger, which is cool too. Her hair keeps getting longer, and I noticed last night that her head is really getting pretty solid. It seems like each month that goes by she makes these huge leaps and bounds in progress and it just seems unbelievable.
She's talking more than ever now, and of course loves to put things her in mouth. She's able to reach out and take something from you to put it in her mouth which is really cute. And to wrap that all up, she's got an awesome little laugh. When you actually get her to laugh out loud, and not her cough laugh, its really cute.
It's amazing watching a little person grow up and learn new things. Last night she sat with me and cheered the Redskins on to victory. She sat on the couch, assisted only by the side boundaries of couch and father for a good 20 minutes. Playing by herself and watching the game. It was awesome!
