5th Month with Stormie Grey

This month has been full of sickness for our baby girl. First, we had a case of RSV. We were able to catch it early and avoid any sequelae or hospital stays. It was so very hard to see you so so sick and miserable though.

A couple weeks after we got past RSV, you got sick again and had your first ear infection. This is an improvement when compared with older sister who had her first ear infection at only about 3 months old! When you saw the pediatrician for the ear infection, you weighed in at a whopping 20lbs! Again, compared with sister who didn't weigh 20lbs until about 9 months old!

You went through a period of stranger anxiety that broke Granny's heart. You wouldn't even let her or Pepaw or Nanny talk to you without you bursting into tears! You still aren't rolling over really, but you can pretty well sit up unassisted for at least several minutes before you topple over backwards or to the side.

You are eating baby food for breakfast, lunch and dinner now. You love sweet potatoes, squash, bananas, and prunes. We have tried meats a few times and they make you shudder and make funny faces.

You still love your big sis and light up when she speaks to you or even walks into the room. And here is a picture of big sis cheesing at school with her friend.
