Fiona is Five Months Old

Over the last month Fiona has:

• Played lots in her exer-saucer
• Tried eating (well tasting really) banana, apple, pear, carrot, and celery (as of right now I think the thing she likes the most is chewing on a rubbery baby spoon)
• Started moving backwards
• Gotten increasingly more frustrated by her physical limitations - this girl wants to go!
• Persisted further in sucking her thumb (I'm still not entirely sure it will take, but she's trying)
• Remains entertained by her sisters, but now is engaging with them, and she doesn't seem to be terrified of Alice anymore (Oh and I need to record Kate singing her cute dog song to Fiona)
• She continues to be bright-eyed
• She is laughing more and more and smiles lots
• And she still freezes up in front of the camera (I should start trying to take her monthly photos with the point and shoot digital camera - then she can see Mom and not the scary camera)

I can't believe our sweet little Fiona (who is getting bigger and bigger all the time) has been with us for five months!!
