5 months old

On October 7 Zenobia turned 5 months old. Hard to believe she is almost half a year old already. She is almost sitting up by herself, she can balance really good and then she gets excited about something and her whole body wiggles and she throws herself back. So far we have only had one incident of her head banging on the floor. Zenobia is also getting ready to crawl! Lately she's been up on all fours rocking back and forth and then piking her little heiny up in the air and pushing off her toes to get the toy she wants. Next week she will be starting her first solid food, rice cereal. I will definitely keep you posted as to how that goes. She is also rolling over but not nearly as much as she is up on all fours. She really doesn't care to roll over-she prefers being on her tummy. And of course she's smiling, laughing, cooing, and squeling like crazy. In the mornings she wakes up smiling and cooing and sometimes even squeling with that high pitched little voice. For those of you who know that I am not a morning person, well guess what!? Zenobia has turned me into one and I even wake up smiling. She is such a joy and blessing in our lives.
