Macyn is 5 months today! She gained a little over 1 lb this past month so she now weighs 14 lbs 1 oz. She also grew another 1/2 inch so she is now 26" long! She is a happy baby and we are well on the way to having a 100% healthy baby, too. She had another appointment in Sioux Falls and her liver enzyme numbers were better. One (the more serious one) was completely normal. The other was still elevated, but it is up to us whether we want to check it one last time for piece of mind. The pediatric gastroenterologist said she wasn't concerned and confident that the last number will come down yet. At Macyn's 6 month appointment we were going to discuss this with her doctor and see what she thinks. But other than that, we are very grateful that everything else is normal.
Now back to the "fun" stuff - Macyn likes to play with her feet, mostly when you try and change her diaper (turns into a great challenge!). She also likes to slide down in her bouncy seat and grab her feeties. Another thing she likes to do in her bouncy seat? Fall asleep! (I have caught her do this a few times already this weekend) We have also noticed that she is starting to be very verbal - if you take a toy away she gets mad! Or if she drops one off her Bumbo tray or something is slightly out of reach, trust me, you will hear it!
She can sit supported but completely falls over once you let go. But, she has started to make a "Razzing" sound when she blows spit bubbles all over - that's what she's doing in the picture above. Its cute, really. She has a habit of sucking her thumb too. She LOVES baths (see my previous post) and also started on cereal. (I will post another blog about that later), but here is a "sneak peak" of how that went:
so its been a pretty great month! She is starting to get to the "fun" stage!
