Update time

Happy 5 Month Birthday to Tessa (tomorrow)!
Just a monthly update for everybody. We had our Dr's appointment the other day. Everything is (mostly) good- her health is perfect, development is right on track (we like to think she's VERY advanced though..) and growth is normal. She is still a really big baby, coming in this month at 17lbs 14oz and 25 3/4 inches up from 16lb 10oz and 25 inches. That puts her at 90% and 75% respectively. The baby that was leaving as we arrived at the appointment was 2 weeks younger than Tessa and I totally thought she was around 2 months- Dr. Ogan informed me that I'm not such a good judge of age since my baby is rather large...
2 vaccinations and she didn't even scream this time!
She has been rolling over like crazy (and getting pissed once she's on her belly.. "who put me here!! I didn't ask to be put on my belly!" She's sitting upright supported, not long before she'll be doing it on her own. Tessa has become quite the nosy baby- grabbing everything in sight. We put her on the table in the bumbo seat at dinner time and she grabs for everything, including food and knives. Time to start baby-proofing.
She's using a sippy cup! Not quite sure how to tip it back to get the fluids to flow so she arches her back until she's practically horizontal to get it to work! It's hysterical.
We started solids. The piglet loves everything regardless of flavor or consistency, even eating the cereal puffs and pieces of turkey at Thanksgiving. She gets the solids about every other day and at 6 months it'll be once a day.
What else... Oh yeah, SLEEP. We've been having a rough time. In the past month she went from 7/8 hour stretches to 2 or 3 hours. Like a newborn. I understand now why sleep deprivation is used as torture. Dr said a temporary change in bedtime should work so it's back to 9ish, and with the new white noise CD, she's back to long stretches, thank god. If she weren't so cute, we would have been considering adoption.
Regardless of anything, I am so grateful to have a happy, healthy baby.
