Camila Luna at 5 Months

Luna is almost 5 months old. 

We had a visit with her pediatrician last week.  She's 2-foot, 2-inches and almost 16 pounds (in the 90th/95th percentile for baby girls her age.  Good Grief!) She got another pile of vaccines, but got over the shock pretty quickly this time. (There's a whooping cough outbreak in CA these days - we're happy to have our kids vaccinated - the dr. recommended that we as parents consider a pertussis booster (often included with tetanus, these days).)

And we talked about solid foods. New science shows that introducing certain foods earlier or later does not have much (if anything) to do with allergies ... so it's all free game: strawberries, stone fruit, wheat, eggs, etc. and they're not pushing that boring rice cereal anymore.  Great news! So, we continue to follow Camila's lead, and let her try the flavors and textures that we're eating. Here she is gumming a stalk of asparagus!!

 

She adores Liv and lights up whenever she sees her. It's a delight to witness. 

She's getting chattier, always wants to join in the conversation "lah, lah, lah. rah, rah rah."

And now she's starting to scoot around on the floor. She made it almost all the way across the bedroom to me this evening! Whoa!

It's fun to watch these things develop!
