Oakley- 5 Months

Happy 5 Months!

At 5 months old...
- you are sitting up with no assistance and have been for a couple weeks. You love to sit up and play with sister now... and steal her toys away that are within your reach.
- you "talk" more
- you grab for food all the time. If someone is eating near you or has a cup, it is your mission to try and swipe it from them.
- you are getting good about scooting backwards when you want to "be on the move". Sometimes you want to go forwards, but go backwards instead. We are working on going forwards.
- you have gotten so much better about your car seat and car rides.
- you have a love for baby dolls. Probably just because they are around you often.
- you still love to be in the Maya wrap.
- Harlen makes you laugh the hardest. Sometimes we are about to tell her to be quiet or get out of your face and then we hear your laugh and we all start laughing.
- you are really good at telling us when you are tired because you have the eye rubbing down pat.
- you have started to lean in for kisses and hugs. If you just realized that I'm next to you, you will lean over to me like you want a hug. :)
- in size 5 diaper, 12-18 month clothes, I would guess 24 pounds 
- take about 4 naps a day
- have not started solids
- wake up once or twice a night, but you have to be touching me all night long.

I know I say this a lot, but you are just the happiest baby. You are content to sit with a toy, you smile at everyone, and are so easy going. We just love your guts, Oakley Bradford Phemister.

Love your leg rolls!!
