Langston 5 and 6 months




I have gotten so behind a blog posts.  I get in this rut and although I will check other people's blogs, I just don't feel like wrting anything on mine.  So here is a brief update to catch up from some of the past two months.

The 5th month Langston learned to roll over from her back to front.  She was so close at the end of last month that it didn't take long.  She continued to move everywhere on the floor and grab and play with all kinds of toys.  Chewing was still crazy along with the drooling.  Nursing and sleeping continued the same as I expect they will for a number of months since she is sleeping through the night and taking consistent naps. We celebrated her uncle Gary and aunt Tina's wedding along with Thanksgiving this month.

Month 6 came and went in a blink because it was the month of December and we had just celebrated Thanksgiving and we were kicking in the Christmas celebrations.  Langston cut her first two teeth this month.  That was about a month sooner than the boys because it was right after she turned 5 mnths and they were both around 6 mnths.  Since cutting teeth she has not sucked thumb hardly at all, although she still loves the paci. She also learned to roll in the other direction at the beginning of the month.  This causes her to just roll back and forth to amuse herself.  We started putting her in the exersaucer at the end of 4 months and once she was 5 mnths a lot.  She will play in this for a long time and it is really strengthening her muscles.  Her first Christmas was fun and we got to spend a lot of time with family which was good.  At the end of this month we went for her 6 mnth check-up and she was 16 lbs and 26 3/4 in.  This is still above average in height and 45 % in weight.  Again, still right between the boys.
