At 5 months Jessaleigh likes to

• Try to crawl


• Try to talk to you (especially daddy - he is hilarious)


• Suck her thumb


• Drool


• Chew on anything - especially spoons


• Sit up (although she isn't so good at staying up)


• Watch her brother


• Be within sight of Mommy at all times (more on that later)


• Stare at you until you look at her - then she smiles like a loon


• Not be in the car seat


• Make you feel guilty for not sharing your food with her


• Wake up blowing raspberries

All in all she is precious!

Clearly she has things to say already

I think its official Jessaleigh can sit up by herself (at not tip over for awhile). She has been trying to sit up forever it seems, but now I can put her on the floor and walk away for a moment with fearing for her safety. She still tips over eventually, but can catch herself if she goes sideways. Tipping backward is the only real concern and Jessaleigh seems to be OK as long as she in on a soft (rug or pillow) surface.

I know I have mentioned it before, but now we have finally caught Jessaleigh rolling over on "film." She has been able to do this for weeks, but doesn't seem to want to very often. I guess it is a personality thing.
