5 Months

Man oh Man, how I love her!!!!!

She is the best baby ever. She  makes it so easy to love her with her good nature, her constant smiles and giggles. 

She goes to sleep so well. I don't have to 'put' her to sleep, when she's tired I take her upstairs wrap her up tight and she goes to sleep within 30 seconds. She's an easy baby to 'read' and know what she needs.

Shanelle loves music. She likes listening to music with dad on his iPhone. It's cute to watch them together bonding, love watching Jeff dance her while they listen to music. Some of my favourite moments is to watch them together.

 Weighs 13lbs 5oz
 Length - 26.5"

She is ready to eat. She wants food, real food, might start feeding her baby food before she turns 6 months. She just stares at us when we eat and tries to grab food when its close. 

Shanelle likes to scratch at things with her nails. 

She enjoys tummy time, rolls over and will do 45 degree turns

Loves to chew on her hands as you can see. She constantly has her hands in her mouth. Teeth? Maybe, but haven't seen any yet.

People still comment on how alert she is and how those eyes just seem to take everything in. Still love her eyes, my favourite feature of hers.

She is getting close to sitting on her own. 

Loves her brother and sister especially when they jump or laugh at her and chat with her.

Sleeps well at night, not through the night, but wakes up to eat and then right back to sleep. Seriously I couldn't ask for a better baby. She is just SO good and happy all the time!

Enjoys her jumperoo and jumping and jumping and jumping. Too cute.

Jaycie loves to take care of her, pick her clothes each day, change the occasional diaper, have her in her room in the mornings when she gets ready, hold her as soon as she gets home. She is just like a little mom.

She likes having showers with me and throughly enjoys me singing in the shower :) She must cause she sings along with me. 

We love our Shanelleeee! So, so very much!
