She is also very interested when we chew and grabs at our food. So, it may be time to try cereal soon. I am excited and nervous about this. First, I will be sad to give up exclusive breastfeeding. It has been a special time for us, and still will be, but she's just on her way to not needing her mommy anymore! I guess that's how it will be forever. The older they get, the less they need you. I can already tell she's going to be very independent.
She's also getting very good at grabbing things. The other day, she was in her pouch and I was making banana bread. I had a bowl full of dry ingredients on the counter, and while I was pouring out something into a measuring cup I look down and see Carolynn holding onto the side of the mixing bowl and dragging it toward her/off the counter! She also is getting good at grabbing hair.
I keep thinking any day now I will go to get her up in the morning and she'll have some teeth, but nothing yet. Just drool....a lot of it.
Even though she's not far from 6 months now, here are some 5 months pictures I took.
