Finley turned 5 months on February 11. It is really hard to believe (both because it has gone so fast and because she is so small). Here is a quick update:
• At 5 months 6 days she weighed 12lbs 3.5oz (4th percentile) and was 24 inches long (12th percentile).
• She is eating about 50% breastmilk and 50% formula (to try and bulk her up)
• She still hates tummy time and now puts and end to it quickly by rolling to her back
• She can roll from back to tummy but does it infrequently
• She got her first tooth (lower right) at about 4.5 months and is working on her lower left
• She has an infectious laugh and smile
• She loves to look at "the baby" in the mirror
• She is cooing and "talking" up a storm
• She is still a good sleeper at night (going down around 6:45) but wakes too early (sometime between 4:30 and 5:30)... We are working on that by going down earlier.
• She (just like her sister at this age) doesn't nap (other than cat naps in the carseat, swing or arms.
• She started physical therapy to strengthen the left side of her neck because she favors looking to the right (a condition called torticollis) and therefore has an asymmetrical head shape (a condition called plageocephaly). We are meeting with a doctor to see if the PT (and more time upright) might fix it or if she will need a helmet. (This is pretty common, especially now that babies are supposed to sleep on their backs).
• She loves her sister. She is always looking around for her and giggling at her.
