Delaney is 5 months old!

Delaney turned 5 months old September 17, 2013!
And here she is...

A few stats...
Weight: I would say about 17lbs! (She's juicy just like Dylan was)
Height: Taller than she was at 4mo!
Head:  Bigger than last time, I'm sure!
Eye color:  Grey/Brown
Hair color: light brown
(We go back to check stats at 6 months)

Sleeping:  She's still working on her 2 naps a day but usually is ready to nap about an hour after she eats.  She has her afternoon nap about 1:30-3:30 sometimes longer which is great because that is when big brother sleeps, too!  She usually goes to bed about 7:30-8 and has been waking up at 5am.
Feeding:  She is now nursing once in the morning and taking bottles of breastmilk and supplemented with formula the rest of the day due to a condition I developed shortly after she turned 4 months old called Postpartum Thyroiditis.  My thyroid was speeding up my metabolism and my supply of milk suffered.  You can find out more information here. She usually eats 6 times a day and about 5-6oz with each feeding.  She also has rice cereal at lunch and dinner times. Next month we get to try fruits and veggies :)
Clothes:  She loves all her hand-me-downs and so do I!!!  She's wearing 3-6 months.
Fun Facts:  She has 2 teeth!!! (on the bottom)  She found her toes!  And she can hold her own bottle!

 Here is a picture of her feeding herself...

We also stopped swaddling and she now goes to sleep in her cutie patootie PJ's...

She loves to laugh and giggle when being tickled.  She loves to be held but if someone other than Mommy is holding her...she's turning her head to find me!  She loves to watch her big brother play and she can jump in her play jumper!  She TALKS all the time!!!  I'm sure her teachers in the future will LOVE that...haha!


We love you baby girl!!!!

Love,
Mommy, Daddy and Dylan :)
