5 months

Ava is now 5 months old.  She has started waking up twice each night recently instead of only once, and she's been getting rocked back to sleep instead of just falling back to sleep while eating.  We think she is starting to teethe.  She had a slight fever one day last week and chews on her hands like crazy.  I can feel the nub of a tooth, but nothing is poking through yet.

Over the last week or two Ava has learned to roll over.  She has the back to tummy roll down pat, but has only achieved the tummy to back roll once so far that I know of.  She usually rolls onto her tummy after she wakes from her nap or in the middle of the night and then gets frustrated.  She is starting to try to crawl, but hasn't figured out the arm/leg coordination.  She is also starting to sit up more without falling over.  She really likes hanging out in the walker and the Jumperoo also.

Ava usually takes 3 naps per day (morning, early afternoon, late afternoon), with at least one being a longer (1.5 hour+) nap.  She eats every 2-4 hours and has started to taste solid foods (mostly fruits) but hasn't eaten any yet.  She isn't very interested in trying to eat them.

I haven't weighed or measured her lately, but she is getting noticeably heavier where she wears my arm out sooner as well as taller since she's outgrowing some clothes.

Her new favorite position.  She started in the middle of the blanket on her back, then it was tummy, back, tummy, smile!
