Saturday Larissa turned 5 months old. Can you believe that? She's growing so wonderful. She's a sweet baby. Full of life, smiles non-stop and loves hugs. She also loves to let you know she wants to be held 24/7. She sure loves to cry a lot too when she doesn't get her way :) But that's what babies do right?
She still rarely sleeps. Maybe a couple of hours a night. She sleeps for about 20 mins and then up for three hours then back down again for another 20 mins. This goes for naps too. Her and Reg are on opposite schedules still so I'm always up with the both of them still all day and all night. My body is getting more sued to it though. Some days, it's harder and I feel so exhausted and others, I'm pretty good to go the entire day.
Larissa loves attention and she is now rolling all over the place. She rolls everywhere you put her down and goes all over the floor. Just rolls and rolls to get to where she wants to go. It's pretty funny. She also holds her head up amazing. So strong and healthy.
She babbles non stop as well. Always wants to tell you what's on her mind. She always has a finger in her mouth as well. She chews on her finger all the time. She's teething and it shows. She's not a thumb sucker or anything. Just likes to chew her finger. It's hard to get a photo of her without it being in her mouth.
She is still being breastfed. We are still able to keep going with that. And it makes me so happy. I'm so proud of myself for being able to keep a milk supply with her. I never have been able to with my other children. So this makes me feel so happy. Though, it's not always enough, I do supplement when I have to. But I nurse her 75% of the time.
so. so. so. precious. <3

ReplyDeleteLarissa is just beautiful, I miss my little Jayla at this age!
ReplyDeletePS: Since she doesn't like wet diapers maybe she will be easy to potty train :)
OMG where have I been?! How is she 5 months old already? I feel like you just announced you were pregnant LOL! :) She is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteLove her big brown eyes! My little girl Star is about 4 1/2 months but a little chunky lol. She was 14 lbs two weeks ago and growing out of size 2 diapers. It's all in her belly and thighs haha. Hope Larissa starts sleeping more for you..it is so hard and stressful and I totally understand :)
ReplyDeleteAwwww...how adorable. Happy Five Months Larissa. :)
ReplyDeleteShe's five months already?! Time flies. Hopefully, she'll start sleeping more during the night once her teething passes. My son didn't sleep well when he teethed.
ReplyDeleteShe is so beautiful, she looks like your older daughter. I have been really slacking on reading blogs, so I understand how hard it is, 3 kids is alot of work. Then some lady at the grocery store trying to bless me with another one, I told her no, bless me with money, lol!
