5 Months Old Today

We can't believe how much Clare is changing. There are even some mornings when I go get her from her crib and she seems to have changed over night. She is a very determined and active little girl. We love her so much and love watching her discover new things.

She started rolling in both directions at 31/2 months. She now rolls all over the place and we are constantly having to pull her out from under things. She is scooting around by getting her knees under her and doing an army crawl. Her nose is pretty skinned up from rubbing it on the floor. She will sit for about 10 seconds on her own before falling over. Daddy is working really hard with her on this.

She loves to sit in her Exersaucer. She has become a pro at putting everything in her mouth. She is drooling like no other. We think she is about ready to cut her first tooth. She has started to giggle at thinks that her Dad and Mom do and makes new sounds everyday. The Doctor's can't believe how developed she is for her age.

We are still going to the doctor on a pretty routine basis to take care of her skin ailments. Poor little thing she is constantly trying to itch her arms, legs, and back of the head. It is hilarious to watch her scratch the back of her head. Did I mention how much we love her?

Clare has also become quite fond of Gauge, her dog. He comes and lays by her on the floor when she has floor time and she rolls over to grab at him. Every morning he goes into her room to make sure she is still here.
