Baby - 5 months

Zoey is learning and growing every day.  She is so much fun and has just a wonderful, calming personality.  At 5 months she:

Has discovered her fingers, ears and toes.

Tries to put her toes in her mouth but can't quite get there.

Has bit her thumb (and mom's chest) quite a few times.  It brings tears from both of us.

Is weaning off the "nursing."  Mainly only does it at night to go to sleep.

Likes to hold onto people's clothes, hair, jewelry, etc.

Has learned how to splash in the bathtub.

Has learned how to pull the bows off her head much to her mother's chagrin.

Looooves her daddy and gives him the biggest smiles.  He also got the best laugh out of her ever by waving a plastic garbage sack in front of her face.

Two weeks ago she was 26.5" (97%) and 15.15 lb. (84%).  Two inches taller than other babies her age!

Likes to go swimming and loves to be outside and watch the birdies.

Looooves her dolly and sucking on her pigtails.

Still has the 2 teeth that have poked through quite a bit.  Seemed to be teething a bit more last week but nothing showing yet.

Still eats 4-6 oz. every 3-4 hours.

Still needs her Prevacid.

Is in 3-6 mo. clothing but fits better in the closer to 6 mo. clothes.

Just started wearing size 3 diapers today.

Loves to smile then nestle her head into your chest like she is shy.

"Sings" and "talks" a ton.

Sometimes responds to her name.

Watches everything intently.  You can tell that she is a sponge.  My dad said he's never met a baby more inquisitive than her.

Goes to bed around 10:30 pm and Is sleeping between 8-9.5 hours a night. Wahoo!

I swear she says "hi" and still cries "ma, ma, maaaa" when she is sad.

Is so good with her hand and eye coordination and is starting to grab things with her thumb and pointer finger.

Watches everything we put in our mouths and wants to eat real food.  She also watches us on our phones and iPad and tries to play on them too.  She's smart!

We are so in love with her.  She is our reason and happiness.  We are so blessed to have such a sweet soul in our lives and are eternally grateful.  We love our Munchie more than words!

And just because it's funny:
