Isabelle turned five months old yesterday. Some highlights:
The little one has started arching her back a lot. It makes sitting with her a challenge because she’s all squirmy and wiggly.
She has started getting tangles in her hair! Oh no! TANGLES!!!! Alan sits there and works them out, like he’s grooming a little monkey.
During bath time she cranes her neck back a lot and it makes it hard to hold her. She’s just asking to roll head first into the water. But on the plus side it makes cleaning her little neck fold much easier.
She gets distracted while eating now. I must stay quiet and not move my hands into view or she’ll stop and stare.
Isabelle likes standing. Sometimes when we try to sit her down she locks her legs as if she’s standing.
She tries blowing raspberries. Video here.
She sticks her tongue out a whole lot now.
She started talking a lot falling asleep like she’s fighting it and trying to convince us to let her stay awake, talking to the sandman. Video here.
She can turn herself around in her exersaucer.
She’s started trying to lift her head and upper body up while she’s eating on her left side. Silly baby…can’t eat and get up at the same time.
And finally…rolling. Yep she’s got that down.
Isabelle is the center of our world. She is soooo loved.
Read month four.

I love your updates. They are so wonderful.
As for the trying to stand when you want her to sit–try the Jedi mind trick. That’s what I do.

She is so lovely! That photo of Allen grooming her like a monkey is priceless! He looks so intense and serious and there she is all cute and smiles. Also I love the family photo with the dogs. Notice that everyone in the photo is staring at Izzy !

I can’t believe she’s so big now! Has it really been five months already? I love the family shot.
