5 months old

Today Karis is five months old.  Wow!  I feel like it was just yesterday that she was only 3 weeks old.  That's because I feel like I'm a 3 week old mom, still doing the same things I did back then, still trying unsussessfully to figure out my new job.

We all survived Karis's first cold.  It lasted about 2 weeks, and her cough lingered on for another week.  During her sickness, I nursed more frequently to provide comfort for my ill baby.  I just realized a couple of days ago that even though Karis got better, I was still feeding her one or two times in the middle of the night.  Oops.  Time goes by too quickly.

Now that Karis is five months old, she is able to:
- roll from tummy to back, both left and right
- sit unassisted in her bumbo chair
- find her feet and pull her socks off
- spend up to 10 minutes on her tummy
- use arms to hold head up while on her tummy
- smile when smiled at, babble when talked to
