Almost 6 months old!

Hello all!

My little one is in bed so I figured I would update with Lily's almost 6 month update.

ECI came today again.  They will continue to see her through her first year of life since she had the seizures at birth.  Most of the babies in the NICU at TCH are a eligible for services.  Since Lily had the seizures, she automatically qualified.  Anti-convulsant medications are known to cause stomach problems and since we had so many tummy issues when ECI first started working with us, they decided to assign us a dietician who will work with us and only reference back to PT, OT, etc...  Thankfully, Lily has not needed any of those.  Hopefully, we will never need those.
That being said,  here are our stats from today's visit...
She weighs 20 lbs 10 oz (up 1 lb) and she is 27 1/2" long (up 1/2") . 

Here are her growth charts: (courtesy of Child Growth ipod app)

Ms. Jennifer went through the checklist for her milestones, she said Lily has mastered the 3-6 month milestones and on to the 6-9 month milestones.  Yeayyy!  Brandon and I are very proud of her.  She definitly wants to move!

Here are some of the things she has learned to do in her 5th month:
She has become ticklish
Laughs deleriously when tired
Scooting (slowly commando crawling)
Rolling across the floor and everywhere
Raking objects with both hands
2 new birthmarks have appeared (one on her elbow and one on her jawline)
We have had to move the crib mattress down to it's lowest setting because she started pulling on her bumper.  Honestly, we would have only moved it down one setting BUT apparently you have to take the whole bed apart to lower it, so we just figured to put it down on the lowest setting)
She has started sleeping on her belly
Has offically put her nuk all the way in her mouth so she only gets it at bedtime
She is pulling up on people
Still teething
We started her nighttime routine with an 8-8:30 bedtime
She is eating oatmeal in the morning and a vegetable in the evening.
EDIT:
She cut her first tooth on 5/26!
Getting up in position to crawl and rocking 5/30
Lightly saying "da-da".  Does it very randomly, but she is starting to use more letter sounds.


Here are a few fun firsts my little one has done this month:
First trip to the zoo
First time swimming
First time down a slide (with daddy)
First time drinking from a sippy
First time eating real food (banana)
First time in a wagon
First time playing with a puppy (Fannie)
First time in a highchair at a restaurant (Olive Garden)
Either this month or last month she has started sitting in the shopping cart
EDIT:
First bloody nose!  Was pulling herself up on one of her toys and it flipped over on top of her! :( 5/24
First time to the Children's Museum

It's amazing how fast she is growing.  It is the strangest mixture of heartbreak, pride and excitement.  Before you know it, I'll be doing her almost 7 month update!
