You've come a Long way, baby

Happy 5 months Larkin!


All month long Larkin has been this close to rolling from her back to her front. She can pretty consistently roll from her front to her back now, and she fusses much less during tummy time compared to earlier months.

This month she found her feet, and because she continues to put anything and everything into her mouth, she likes to suck on her toes.


Larkin is finally sleeping through the night! Matt and I supported each other through a few hard nights, and it seems to have paid off.

With a bedtime between 7:30 and 8 p.m. and a late-night "dream feed" around 11 p.m. or so, Larkin sleeps until 5 or 5:30 a.m. I do wish she would give us just one more hour of sleep - that 5 o'clock hour wake-up is brutal.

Also, this month Larkin broke her paci habit. We already only used it at bedtime, and suddenly she started falling asleep without it. As she falls asleep she sometimes fusses a bit, or she sucks her thumb or grasps her Lamby lovey, and then she's out.

Larkin smiles all the time. It's awesome.

Here is the monthly photo of Larkin with Pooh and Racky:
