Well, Lennon is rolling over all the time now. She rolls from her back to her tummy and will play on her tummy for a while. The last few days she's been lasting longer on her tummy and doing some baby push ups. After a while she gets mad and can't get herself back over to her back yet. So I help her roll over and she'll stay on her back for a bit before rolling over again! She's babbling a lot more now too. She'll entertain herself with "yayaya," "dadada," and buzzing her tongue and lips. It's all pretty cute!
More exciting news...Lennon's getting her first teeth! At 5 and a half months. There are two teeth starting to poke out on the bottom. One of them is already coming through, the other can just be seen. It hasn't seemed to be bothering her. She's still pretty happy all the time. She puts absolutely everything in her mouth. But, so far, no complaining about the teeth! Fred's dental hygienist suggested wiping her gums with xylitol to help control bacteria which cause the pain. She swears it works. We've been using just water up until now, so we'll try that.
Lennon will be six months old in a couple of weeks so we're starting to think about introducing some solid (pureed) foods. We're looking forward to that and to see what she thinks of it and how she reacts. More on that when we get there.
We took a last minute trip to Penticton for the long weekend. Fred had Monday off instead of today so we thought we'd take advantage. The weather was ok. In the low 20s and a bit cloudy. Of course Monday, when we had to leave, was absolutely beautiful and hot. We had a great time though. Did lots of walking and got in a couple of swims in the pool too. It was a bit cool for the beach and the lake is pretty chilly still. It should be better when we're back at the end of the month.
Sleep is still an issue. Lennon is waking up four, sometimes five or six, times a night. I think she's made it a habit to use me to get back to sleep when she wakes up because she's definitely not eating every time. We all need more sleep. Waking up a couple of times to eat would be fine. It's all the extra wake ups. We're going to try some sleep training. Hopefully that will help! I'll keep you posted!
