5 months old!

our tiny baby girl isn't so tiny these days! she is more than 11 pounds and 23 inches long. she's finally on the growth chart, ha! in the tenth percentile for her height and weight for her age. but for a two month old she's well above the norm. she's somewhere in between. and just perfect! her doctor is so happy with her and is very impressed with her strength and motor skills.

natalie is outgrowing clothes like crazy. luckily, between her grammie, mimi and auntie andi she has plenty of new fashions to grow in to! it seems like just yesterday we were trying clothes on her to see what would fit. it was all so big on her! now she has a pile of things she has outgrown. whew!

she still doesn't like "tummy time" but has no problems holding her head up while you hold her and she pushes away from you to hold herself up. she is very close to sitting up by herself.

and needless to say she gets a loud mouth from her momma! the girl chatters and coos and giggles away. we think a tooth isn't far away. she has been chewing on her hands a lot more and on her toys, we found her some teething rings...she just isn't sure what to do with it yet!

here are a few pictures of our five month old:
