Madeline: 5 Months

Madeline spent her fifth month of life enjoying Washington D.C. and all that it has to offer! Though she seemed to enjoy her time spent outside hiking around the city, the outside street lights at night proved to be quite a sleeping distraction, forcing Maddie to wake every 1-2 hours just to see if it perhaps were daytime yet. Being great parents that we are, we moved her pack and play into the master bathroom. . . . problem solved! Bad parenting or inventive? We are going to go with inventive.

Some highlights of Madeline this month include:
- Mastering rolling over- both directions, multiple times
- Loving the water- the bath, the pool, etc.
- Becoming so jealous of food that we caved in and started her on solids
- Smiling, laughing, cooing, "talking" a ton
- Still wearing 3-6 month clothing
- Learning to blow "zerberts" and spending a great deal of her day doing it
- Taking 2-3 good naps during the day
- Is affectionately called Cakes, Baby Cake, Maddie, Maddie Cake, etc.
- In one word: happy
