Month 5+6

So, we skipped a month. I meant to post. I really did. We've been pretty busy here. Working on some re-org at the Etsy shop. I've split my shop into 2 - one for baby stuff and one for other stuff. We've also been preparing for some Swap meets, toy fairs, and other venues to sell our wares. Not to also mention eBay. Busy busy! Now for some Evie updates...I'll try to remember them in order, but no promises.

Month 5+6

  • Evie's eating lots of different foods now - fruits and veggies of course. We don't plan on starting meat until 8 months. Foods include mango, pears, apple, avacado, carrots, peas, squash, sweet potato, apricots, nectarines, lentils, leeks, celery, banana, plums, and I bet there's more I'm forgetting.
  • She learned how to hold the bottle up herself.
  • She can sit up for about 1 minute by herself.
  • Everything she picks up is going into her mouth.
  • We did a 6 class session of Baby Yoga. Evie loves it. I highly recommend it.
  • Evie is learning to drink out of a sippy cup. She's getting better!
  • Loves to play in her activity saucer. She is in there all the time!
  • Another thing I recommend is Baby Signs. She can already sign 'change dipey' and 'milk'.
  • Learned how to roll over about a week after she turned 5 months.
  • Plays 'Peekaboo' with her blanket.
  • Getting better with people she doesn't see too often. I credit this to Evie's photobook. We go through it every day. We flip through pictures of people she should know, but don't see all the time.
  • Sleeps at 8pm, up at 7pm. I never take this for granted.
  • Doesn't sleep much during the day though.

Hopefully I'm not missing anything. I would love to post more often, but we'll have to see how that goes. I'm also thinking about moving my blog to a new title, that corresponds with the new shop. But we'll see how that goes. Cheers!
