5 months and a new skill

This little gem is now 5 month old. I love it!! Newborns are cute but I love when they become aware and more capable. Shelby sleeps through the night 10-7ish, LOVES eating food, and has gobbled up everything I have given her thus far; she also surprised me with her ability to suck out of a straw on her first attempt. She was mad of course when she found out it was water.

She also babbles, rolls to her side, loves peekaboo, plays with objects, grabs everything in reach, barfs rarely, drools rarely, loves Mom and Daylin the most.

And speaking of Daylin… our big girl has mastered the bike without training wheels. We had been trying to teach her for a while with little success until we lowered the seat, thereby lowering her center of gravity and she had it down instantly. Now just to find her a bigger bike. Everett also made a transition almost overnight. One day he just couldn’t figure out the tricycle thing and the next day he was a pro. Go figure. Slower than molasses but he sure has fun, and doesn’t seem to mind that the trike is pink and purple.
