Now that Abigail is 5 months old she gets to start eating more solids and trying baby food. At school she is eating cereal for breakfast then eating cereal and baby food for lunch. She's still drinking four bottles during the day too! Can you say piggy? The girls at school tell me that she's all about eating. She's like a little birdie, she opens her mouth and waits for you to put the food in. She's been doing that on the weekends with me too. I have a feeling she's going to be my eater between her and her brother. First my sleeper and now my eater. The second time around is proving to be a breeze compared to the first one!
While we were home last week I tried carrots with her. (Austin decided he didn't want to go to school on Wednesday so he played sick! Just kidding, he really was sick.) She didn't quite know what to think about them. Apparently she loves green beans and peas. I'm going to give her some this weekend to see how she does.
I also had to take her to the doctor last Tuesday. We thought she may have had pink eye because her eyes had some pretty nasty drainage. It turns out she just had a cold, thank goodness. We also learned that she now weighs 14 lbs. 12 oz. and is 25 3/4 inches long. She's grown an inch and gained almost 2 lbs. in a month. Wow!
Since I already posted pictures of Abigail eating carrots, here are some of her sitting up. I think she's really getting anxious to get on the move. She can't sit on her own yet, she still needs some assistance. I think the Bumbo has really helped her back muscles get stronger. The date is off on the pictures. The camera was without batteries for a while so the date reset on me!
This picture reminds me of one with Austin playing with the remote at my parents house. I'll have to see if I can find it.
