The little one has reached another milestone... she's 5 months old!
On her 5 month birthday, I measured her at 26.75 inches and weighed her to be 13.4 pounds. I can only guess from the charts in my baby books, but I think she's still pretty long and fairly lean.
Newest developments include rolling from her back to her tummy. She did it will a little help last Monday (2/28), and when I picked her up from daycare on Tuesday, the teacher had left a note on her daily sheet that Reese "rolls from her back to tummy so well!" She has started taking some "steps" (with assistance of course). But when she stands and is leaned forward, her little legs start to go to work! :) Reese continues to LOVE to stand, and she is now utilizing the play gym that Grammy got her. Reese is a very long baby, but most 5 month old babies aren't ready to get in those things... and her legs don't quite reach the ground. So, I put the Wii board underneath it -- and it's perfect! She LOVES it! She bounces, she plays music, she plays with the frog and flowers that are attached to it. It's great... especially since she has "outgrown" her bouncy seat. In her attempt to stand whenever possible, I have caught her trying to stand in her bouncy seat. Therefore, it's being retired!
For some good news on my part... I have a new job! That's right, I've been offered a position with Calvary Home for Children (in Anderson). It's more of a commute that working with the City was, but I anticipate it to be much more rewarding, and the schedule will be perfect for Reese's daycare schedule! I will have a training day on Wednesday and will officially start on Tuesday of next week. I am thankful for God's hand in this job opportunity, and I am thankful for the prayers and support that I have received along the way!
