Explaining the rather good nights sleep last night… Blythe’s first top tooth is finally in!

Blythe learned how to wave during church tonight. I don’t think anyone sitting behind us got anything out of the rest of the service!

It was actually wonderful to watch her learning. She stuck her hand out and was just staring at it (willing it to move even) and then it opened, and closed, and then opened again. Her face lit up and she started clapping. It was awesome!

Announcing the arrival of the long expected tooth. We have been hearing about it for months now and at last it is here. Haven’t been able to get visual proof yet. Go figure.

We somehow haven’t made it to the 6 month check up, but here is what Blythe is doing:

She can
Roll over (both ways)
Push to hands and knees and rock
Scoot to reach things
Sit unassisted for awhile
Squeal (her newest form of communicating)

5 Months Old

At 5 months Blythe can:
Roll over front to back and back to front
Get her tummy off the ground (sort of)
Sit (as a tripod – bottom and 2 hands) for about 10 seconds unassisted
Spin in a complete circle
“Baby snow plow” to reach what she is after

My new joke about Blythe is that she was a termite in a past life…

For one thing almost every toy I let her play with (read chew on) is made of wood. She also is at the perfect height when seating in our high chair and positioned properly to gnaw on the table (which she LOVES to do). If you put her close enough to any table (home, friends, restaurant, etc.) she will immediately try to eat it! We actually had strangers laugh and tell us how cute she was, although I’m not sure they got my termite joke (but at least I think I’m funny)
