Five Months?

Chelane is rapidly approaching her five month mark.


She rolls over. She hasn't mastered back to front, but she twists off her belly to either side with ease and expertise. She has discovered and uses her hands to a level I didn't know was possible for a small baby.* Chelane is also going through the cute stage of making loud, obnoxious, ear splitting, concentration-destroying, cute sounds. I know I have mentioned it before but she is also wearing 6-9 month clothes (and they fit now without drowning her at all).

She is so happy and getting so big but I am worried about her this month. She was born September 30th... so when exactly does she become five months old?...


*my past experience and knowledge is limited to Dallas, who at this age was: rolling, starting to sit up, bouncing for endless hours in his bouncer and had two teeth; but had no interest in sitting still and manipulating objects with his hands

First of all, if that isn't one of the most amazing baby pictures I have ever seen, I don't know what is! My Goodness - those EYES! You better watch out for this one. :)

I would just say that she's 5 months old on February 28. Micah was born on May 30th and I think I remember doing the same thing. It's the only month you kinda scratch your head and wonder. If it really bothers you, you can say she's "5 months-ish" or "5 months - give or take a few" on the 28th. =)

LOL, and here I was hoping at this time last year that Aislynne would be born on February 29th!

I second Christine's suggestion. Luckily the 5-month mark isn't quite as monumental as the 6-month one, so you can fudge it a little bit.

Trevor was born on December 29th and I was just thinking the same thing the other day...when does he turn 14 months?

I love your honesty! She's super cute.

what a cutie! isn't it so interesting how very different each child is and how they pick up different things at different times, etc. i'm just fascinated and amazed by this kind of stuff.
