6:21 AMFor some reason month 4 went by very fast because month 5 seemed to sneak up on us. Here we go!
At 5 months-

- Sleeps in 2-3 hour stretches at night/co sleeps with us
- Won't sleep in her crib anymore
- Still swaddled but it's starting to look like that won't be for much longer
- Has started seeing the chiropractor a few times a week for Torticollis and her flat head
- Loves tummy time a lot more now
- Pushes up onto her hands
- Turns her head in the direction of any noise
- Mostly just wants to be with mama
- Still doesn't laugh very much but smiles all the time
- Sits up on her own with a boppy behind her for when she leans too far over and falls

- Still hates her carseat
- Still has cradle cap
- Can put her paci in her mouth by herself
- LOVES her Sophie Giraffe and Captain Calamari (one of Elijah's old baby toys)
To expand more on her head-Torticollis is basically when a baby favors one side of her neck more than the other. Abigail leans her head to the left more than anything but it isn't severe at all. However, it has created a flat spot on the back of her head because she would refuse to do tummy time so she laid down a lot on her back. Our chiropractor has been so great and told us her torticollis will be a fairly easy fix as long as do stretches with her daily and help her stretch her neck more. The flat spot on the other hand will take a little more time because he has to sort of reshape her head. She hates these chiro visits but they're whats keeping us from having to buy her a helmet. Me and Kaleb are getting very excited for next month as she will start solids! We did BLW (Baby-Led Weaning) with Elijah and it was so much fun! We plan on doing that with Abigail as well. The 6-9 month stage is always my favorite! I'm excited to see her develop more and watch her learn to be mobile. Though her sleep is terrible right now we are all having so much fun with her. She's a blast!
