5 Months Already?!?

Caroline is 5 months old today.  Wow, I feel like I just got used to saying "Oh, she is 4 months old."
 A couple of things I want to remember:
She is in size 2 diapers
Wearing 3-6 or 6 month clothes
In the morning she is eating a vegetable & at night she is eating oatmeal. It is backwards I will admit but I want to make sure the vegetables don't make her sick. Also who doesn't like breakfast for dinner?

Tolerates is the best way to describe how she feels about vegetables.  She will eat most of the portion I give her but she would rather have her bottle. 


Sleeping schedule:  
8:00 pm- bedtime
2:00 am- wakes up for a quick bottle goes right back to sleep
7:00 am ish is up & ready to play
10:00 am ish naps until 12:00 pm
1:30/2:00 to 3:30/4:00 pm nap {this is usually the one I join her}
Then one more before bed for about 30 mins
She naps with a blanket over her face.  The blankets are the lightweight ones Mimi made her.

She is an outdoors girl.  The positive thing about her need to be outside is I have met all of neighbors. There is a little girl named Piper that lives down the street born a month apart from Caroline.
Swimming & bath time are fun. In the bath she splashes and kicks like crazy
Since last month she has really turned up the volume.  She "talks" all the time.
She hasn't rolled over, she pulls up to her side but hasn't made the commitment to be on her tummy
When she is awake she likes to be sitting up in the bumbo, baby Einstein, in a lap or propped up with pillows. 
When she is fussy I put her in the baby bjorn and walk her around.  This is almost always in the evenings.  I would say she is defiantly a morning person.
Over all she is a happy, easy going baby.  Her sweet personality is starting to come out.
