Month 5

Aubree-Rose is now almost 6 months old but I do have a picture from a day or two after she was officially 5 months old.  At 5 months she could't sit up on her own for more than just a couple of seconds.  As of today, she sits up great until she sees something she wants and she will face plant to get it.  These face plants don't seem to hurt at all but they keep me from leaving her sitting without at least a pillow or two around her.
Aubree is a happy girl that smiles all the time.  She is an easy baby but she is also a girl that knows what she wants, when she wants it.  She does not like to be left alone in a room, even if she can still see me.  I often have to pull her high chair into the kitchen while I am cooking or cleaning so that she is appeased.  She is still a wonderful sleeper at night but day time naps are hit or miss.  Sometimes she will sleep 5 hours a day and I will have to wake her up from each nap and sometimes she will sleep maybe 3 hours a day.  Luckily she is happy no matter how much or little she is napping.  She is not a fan or eating from a spoon yet but we have started pureeing food and putting it in her bottle along with some rice cereal so that she at least can get used to all the new flavors and when she finally learns to swallow food it will hopefully be an easy adjustment since it will taste like food she has already had.  She gets 4 bottles a day.  Three of them are 8 ounces of formula, 1 ounce of food, and some cereal.  Her afternoon bottle is just 9 ounces of formula.  Aubree is our little marshmallow.  She is so soft and squishy and her fat little thighs and arms are just so cute!  
She really loves Brigham to pieces and he is by far her favorite person.  She gets so excited when she sees him and whenever he can find the time to give her a little attention she just laughs at everything he does.  Seeing them interact is my favorite thing.  Last night she wanted his attention so badly and he was not interested in giving it to her.  We had to bribe him with peanut butter chips.  Each time he got her to laugh, he got a chip.  It was a total win-win for everyone! ha ha
Yesterday on the way to church she was just laughing away in her car seat.  We aren't sure what she was laughing it but we loved hearing it.  I hope she is always able to laugh so easily through her life.
