5 Months Old

Mena's now 5 months old. She weighs about 16 pounds according to our home scale. She averaging 30 ounces of formula per day. We tried rice and barley cereals but both constipated her so she is back on an all liquid diet. We'll try solids again when she's a little older. The biggest change this month is that we've moved her into her own bedroom. She's falling asleep around 8 pm and then we wake her up around 5:30 or 6 am to get ready for daycare. On the weekends she falls asleep around 8 pm and wakes up on her own around 7 am. It's nice when she lets us sleep in a little.

Her hand-eye coordination is improving.

Her neck and arm strength is growing.

She's frequently flashing the melt-your-heart smile that she's perfected.

Yeah, it is melt-your-heart smile. I wish I was there too and teach her say --hello in Chinese "ni hao", and tell her --you has amazing smile in Chinese "ni de wei xiao heng mi ren"
