5 Months and Sitting Pretty

Today Meera is 5 months! Time flies...have I said it before? Well, I'll say it again...time flies!!!

Ever since she rolled over from back to tummy, she LOVES sleeping on her tummy. In fact she doesn't seem able to sleep well on her back anymore! She's also able to roll from tummy to back (since the 17th) so if we put her on a large enough area she can roll from one end to the other. Noticed that she usually rolls over towards her right...hasn't quite mastered rolling to her left. So for now it's predictable which way she'll go.


During her doctor's visit last Friday she weighed 6.8kg. She can roll over from tummy to back now and yesterday I saw her try to suck her toes for the first time. She's been making a grab for her toes lately but yesterday it finally made it into her mouth (like every other thing she gets her hands on!)

As with each passing month we made sure to take photos of her on reaching the 5 month mark. So we took shots of her in her bouncer (not sure how much longer we can continue cos she's getting rather big for it...only a matter of time before it collapses from the sheer weight of her!). We also took some with her and the HUGE cow my mom bought for her. As we were placing (posing) her with the cow we suddenly realised that she could sit up! WOOHOOO!!! That's another milestone reached. Wonder when she acquired this new skill? Unfortunately the ability to sit did not come with the knowledge of gravity so we have to prevent her from tipping over constantly.
