5 Months

Since Blakelyn is now 6 months old, writing about the 5^th month seems as though nothing special happened.  Then I look back at all the blogs I have already posted! Busy month for Blakelyn!

Some of what I haven't already blogged about:

Blakelyn began to notice the functionality of her hands.  She lays there in mesmerization as she opens, closes, and twists her hands.   She also began to notice her feet, just seeing them (since they are now uncovered due to a wardrobe change with the season). 

Blakelyn will now experience/express anticipation.  She’ll start giggling before we tickle her.

Blakelyn is officially done with the pacifier.  She will suck her two middle fingers with her palm facing outward (this being all on the left hand of course), and has begun sucking her wrist. 

We tried putting her in a swing at the in neighborhood park, 

but she is not yet ready…

We have also observed that when we put her down for bed that she will roll to her side, preferably the left side:
