Happy Five Months, Ruby!
Ruby’s Fifth Month
Clothes: “3-6 mos"
Diapers: Size “2”
Belly laughs! That's definitely one of my favorite things from this past month! It didn't happen a ton, but it happened. Here's how the biggest one went down this month: I was reading a
book to Ruby. There was a goat on one of the
pages. So, naturally, I started “baaing” like a goat
(more so for Rae, who was in the room). Ruby was in my lap facing me, and started
belly laughing…shaking up and down. Rae, Ms Lexie, and I then spent the better part of the afternoon
continuing to “baaaaaaa” at Ruby. It
worked for a while, then the novelty eventually wore off. Every now and then, we can baa at her and get her to smile
with it. But, her belly laughs were
limited to that day. It was a fun little surprise. Who knew goats were so funny.
Ruby also enjoyed visitors this past month. Several of mommy’s friends were in town for a
wedding. Ruby got to meet and play with
them. She also has enjoyed being social
in the neighborhood.
What else from this month...
- Plays with her feet – loves them
- Talks more and more
- Opens her mouth when you get near her face…like a little bird
- Turns pages in books. Her big sister did this around this age too. Brings back lots of memories
- Still loves sitting in her bumbo...and just sitting, in general.
- Has started spending some time playing in her crib...just to get used to it...b/c, (and I know, I know) she's still in her Rock N Play. The goal next month is to be napping exclusively in her crib. I'm nervous. She seems to enjoy playing in there tho. Thank goodness.
- Still rolling over. Doesn't do it much...and hasn't rolled from back to front yet. But she's working on it.
- Something that I think is cute....she gets her little teething rings wrapped around her shoulder. I don't know how, but it almost always ends up like this...like a little shoulder bracelet (and speaking of teething....still no teeth!)
- Lots of feet crossing.
- On a not-so-cute note, has had some constipation problems. I'll spare the details...in short - it's not fun...for anybody.
- Loves her Ms Lexie. They spend lots of time together - Ruby thinks Ms Lexie is funny :)
Overall, this past month, she really started interacting more...which makes things so much fun! Looking forward to more fun next month, you little goat giggler. :)

Interacting:
This pic is random but I had to post. A-b/c I have a pic of Raegan almost just like this in the same outfit. And, B - b/c it shoes how much bigger Ruby is than Rae. This little outfit fit her way earlier than Rae could ever fit into it.
