6 months

Well, January 8 came and past with no post! We spent the morning of Malin's half birthday in Port Jefferson with my good friend Susanne...followed by a quick trip to Dr. Schwartz since I had an inkling that M's ear infection hadn't cleared up (Thanks Susanne for convincing me!). Unfortunately, our suspicions were correct...M has a double ear infection.  So another 10 days of antibiotics it is.  In the meantime, she let me take her picture, but wasn't quite in full spirit.

Malin's 5 month stats

Weight: 14lbs5oz (16th percentile)

Length: 26 inches (55th percentile...she went from 25th to 55th in one month!)

Head: 41 cm (11th percentile...ugh oh!)

This month Malin...
-learned how to sit up
-Eats rice cereal, oatmeal, pear, apple, banana, avocado, sweet potato, mango, and her favorite...PRUNES!)
-sleeps from about 7-10 then 10-4 and awake at 7:30
-laughed at a little boy in her daycare when he started crying
-finally sleeps unswaddled (that may have happened right at 5 months)
