Grace 5 months old

Well Grace is now 24 weeks old...so 5 months and a bit.
She is such a happy little girl.  Always smiley, she has started to giggle now but overall she is pretty quiet...We just got back from our 13 hour car ride to and from Alpine, Utah.  We stayed for a week and a bit.  She and Parks were sooo good in the car!  I was really surprised.  Grace is a jolly jumpin machine now.  Loves her excersaucer.  She is her brother's biggest fan. We bought her a floor mat with things that hang down over her and she has mastered rolling over both ways now...she is halarious.  If you leave her for a bit she usually ends up completely off the mat and somewhere far away.  She loves being on her tummy.  She has one bottom tooth already that she got when she turned 5 months and now you can see the one beside it will be out in a week or two.  She is teething hardcore and puts EVERYTHING in her mouth.  Thank goodness for soothers...it gives her alot of relief.  She's not that interested in food yet, but i have given her oatmeal, pears, sweet potatoes...i'm in no rush if she doesn't care...that is fine with me.  Her sleeping has started to slowly get worse and worse.  She only naps during the day an hour at a time MAX.  usually 3 times a day which is fine.  At night she has been waking up every 2 or so hours wanting her soother put in.  soooo now that i am home again i am starting to Ferberize her....that method worked really well with Parks.  I let her fuss/cry for 5 mins. go in give her her soother....wait 7 minutes or so than go in give it again...i usually dont have to go in more than once...but i'm tempted to just get rid of the soother at night...like we did with her swaddling.  We had to unswaddle about a month ago cuz nothing could contain her and she kept waking herself up.  Now she just rubs her face with a blanket and falls asleep.  lastnight she only woke up twice, so hopefully tonight will be even better:)  I am so grateful to be able to be a stay at home mom.  It is the best job ever!

Her most favorite thing to put in her mouth

She really has not mastered sitting up, so this blow up bathtub helps alot with the falling over:)
