5 Months Old

My youngest baby turned 5 months last week.  She is growing up so fast and eager to please everyone.  She is definitely one big smiley baby and loves to laugh and giggle.  Codi will be starting rice cereal this month and then headed into eating her veggies.  She is also starting to roll from front to back and back to side.  She loves sitting in her bumbo chair to watch her brothers play or if the television is on.  She also loves to stick her hands and toes in her mouth - wondering if she is teething!

Weight: 16 pounds 1 ounce

Height: 24 -1/2 inches

Eating: 8 ounces every 5 hours and about to start rice cereal

Sleeping: cat naps during the day and all night!

Hair color: Brown

Eye color: Blue

Clothes size: 6 months

Diapers: cloth diapers

Pinterest Love

Tonight my church group is having a pinterest party, which by the way I'm so excited about. A Pinterest party by the way is when someone makes something from their Pinterest boards and brings to share with everyone. I wanted to share with you what I completed for the party.  You can look at this post of mine to see the images I copied from.

1. Verse of the Week hanging plaque

I bought a vintage cheese plate and sprayed it with Heirloom White.

Then I sanded the edges and stained them.

I bought chalk board paint and painted the areas I wanted to write on with the black paint. Then at the top visually copied the lettering from my inspiration photo and painted it.

2. I made ornaments for my babies that included their picture and birth stats. They are not complete yet. I bought 2" cubes and typed and printed their info on stationary paper. Then I cut each square out and modge podged it to the cube. I still need to buy some hoop hooks and ribbon so they can hang on the tree

3 months

I'm a little behind on this post, but I wanted to post it before Codi turned 4 months in about a week.  Here is all my babies at 3 months.  Caden is holding the flag, Codi is in the blue dress, and Connor is in the blue and green outfit.  Codi is going to the doctor for her 4mth check-up in two weeks.

Here is some new stuff she is doing:

Eating: 8 ounces every 3-4 hours - I think cereal is just around the corner

Sleeping: less during the day and from 8:30pm - 8:00am

 

Hair color: Brown

Eye color: Blue

Clothes size: 3-6 months

Diapers: cloth diapers

 

Codi is loving life right now.  She loves to smile and laugh and definitely be talked to.  Her favorite thing is to snuggle right now and hold her little rabbit and rub it against her cheek.  She loves blankets and soft animals against her cheeks, so we have to watch her like a hawk, but it soothes her.  She hates her carseat and doing better on tummy time.  We love taking walks and once we are in the car and settled she is a great sleeper. Overall she is an awesome baby and her brothers love her to pieces.
