Lani @ 5 months

This little girl just grows more yummy every day!  As well as GROWING every day.  She weighs about 17lbs (8kg) now, and is wearing the same size nappies as Vili.  It's not so much that she's really big, she just has these amazing thunder thighs and big ol' gut! We still haven't got her officially rolling over. It's weird, when she has clothes on, she makes absolutely no attempt to roll over, but when she's naked she'll give it a go.

Rolly polly baby.

  

   

This is about as close as she gets to rolling over, although she has managed it once or twice.

She has certainly found her lungs, and she makes these horrific screeching and screaming noises all the time, especially if it's already noisey, she just adds to it. And she loves hearing other people scream too. She's found that if she pulls on mummy's hair or earings then mummy makes this great squealing noise, which makes Lani laugh. lol  She makes the cutest little cooing sounds, the occasional ma-ma, lots of growls, and most recently, blows lots of raspberries.

With her Great Grandma Desiree. 

We haven't really officially started feeding her solids yet. To be honest, I just haven't had the time; meal times are already busy enough as it is. But we have given her the odd thing, like a little piece of banana, or an apple to suck on, and she's munched a few baby num nums too.

   

Lani loves to be outside, watching the trees, licking the wind. So we've been going on lots of walks. She hates the jogging stroller, but loves the umbrella stroller, go figure.


Malachi remains her number 1 fan.

  

She remains our little tummy sleeper. We've tried her on her back and side, swaddling and not swaddling, but this is how she prefers to sleep. And it makes her fatty cheeks stick out and look so cute!

 

She loves the water, the bath, the pool, where ever she can get it. She loves to dip her hand in and suck the water off. When we go in the pool she kicks and splashes and has a ball. 

 

Oh we just love this little girl. She's the apple of everyone's eye in our family. And we are loving this fatty smiley goobery stages she's at right now. But I'm excited for her to start sitting and crawling and exploring the world.
