Today Leah turned 5 months old. At 5 months Leah is still very sweet. She has a pretty long attention span for her age and spends a lot of time playing on her play mat, smiling and batting at the toys that hang above. She also is loving the bouncy seat we are borrowing from Holly. She laughs at the toys hanging from it. Leah will go in the swing for short periods and also has fun just laying on a blanket and talking.
She has started to really suck on her fist and fingers a lot, causing some drool. So, I am pretty sure she is starting to teeth (though I read that it could still be months before the teeth actually appear so we will see).
Leah usually nurses for the last time around the same time the boys go to bed (between 7:30 and 8) and goes to sleep after that. She wakes up once during the night usually between 3:30-4:30, though she has gone longer and shorter. In general she sleeps about 8 hours, wakes to eat and then sleeps another 4 or so, waking up for good between 7:30-8:30am. She then nurses, plays for 1 1/2-2 hours and then sleeps. Eating every 3-4 hours and taking usually 3 naps. Her last 2 feedings are usually closer together without a nap in between. She continues to sleep on her belly and listens to white noise. She is mostly just nursing, though we do give her the occasional bottle of breast milk to keep her used to that too.
She continues to be very happy. Smiling, laughing and talking. We are all just so in love with her!
