She is positively, without a doubt, the happiest baby ever. She'll smile at anyone, laughs daily, and is just generally a happy-go-lucky little one.
She's still working on rolling over, she can push her self up almost to her hips while she's on her belly, so it can't be long now!

Her next doctor's appointment is at 6 months, so I'm guessing she's about 16-17 pounds now. We still haven't started any food because she's still going 3-5 hours between eating during the day and often does 7-9 hour stretches at night. Some time in the next couple weeks we'll start. I am so (not) looking forward to cleaning dozens of ice cube trays again.
It should come as no surprise that I like learning. Hello master's degree I haven't used professionally yet! So with Luca and now with Tessa I do a lot of reading on a variety of subjects. From random parenting blogs that need to be taken with a whole handful of salt to professional articles, I just like to know what's up in the world of child raising. May not be the best thing, since some times reading a new article means trying something new for just a week or two, but I still like to know. For example, I just read that letting kids serve themselves instead of putting down a pre-dished plate has been shown to help kids understand the feeling of fullness and therefore reduce childhood obesity. Genetics would suggest that the kids aren't in danger of that anyway, but still, interesting. If nothing else it encourages independence. So, this time around, I'm going to do so much research on feeding and making food and discouraging picky eaters. Because I'm not so much interested in two picky eaters in the house.

Little Miss is pretty good at sitting up on her own! If you put a toy directly in front of her she's been able to balance for 10, 15 seconds for at least a month. Now she's up to 30 or so.
She likes to play with her feet and socks while she's sitting up, but doesn't care about them at all while she's laying down.
Luca's new way to make her laugh is to get right up in her face and yell. She thinks it's hysterical!
Love, love the pics! I was just there and they are changing so fast, I guess I need to come back more often. Thanks for sharing it helps us feel like we are not missing everything! Love you all :)
