The biggest developments:
She is on the verge of crawling; currently she is in the stage of rocking on her hands and knees. She has also figured out how to push up to a sitting position from her hands and knees and can sit in short spurts by herself.
Her noises are broadening to include raspberries and humming. I think she's going to take after her mommy in her humming habit. She talks to herself a lot in coos, squeals, and grunts.
Her mobility is not just limited to floor movement; just today she discovered the ability to push herself around in her walker. She promptly tried to catch Sushi.
Her schedule is changing again- she is awake quite a bit now and we've eliminated her midday nap. Fortunately she hasn't stopped sleeping through the night; she also takes a long am and pm nap, with a short shuteye between her 5pm feeding and dinner time.
As she approaches six months, she is becoming more and more fun to play with, be around, and have a part of our day. She is the sweetest, happiest baby and as her personality continues to emerge we are seeing glimpses of her own individuality. She entertains herself very well, yet loves to hang out with mommy and daddy. Her favorite toys include her baby Einstein piano (she figured out how to switch between the different sounds), her pink carousel rattle, her owl Taggie blanket, and mommy's phone (no she's not allowed to play with it but she sure likes looking at herself in the camera mode...).
Her cutest giggle moments are when daddy 'chews' on her and growls, when she's tickled under her chin, and when daddy 'throws' her in the air. When she's not smiling her sweet smile that crinkles her little nose, she's inquisitively studying every detail in her visual surroundings.
