5 months old

Elizabeth is 5 months old today. I wish I could stop time as this is one of my favorite ages. I love how she coos, talks and giggles.
We had a busy month (which explains the lack of posts). She was diagnosed with a lazy eye earlier this month so she has to wear a patch for 2 awake hours a day. You can tell the patch (which is essentially an eye band-aid) bothers her as she scratches at her eye when it's on. She's getting very smart and starts to cry when she sees us coming at her with the patch. I have to say she is being a trooper as I know it hurts when we pull it off. We will come back to Mayo in July for another visit to the Opthamalogist.
She is talking up a storm and I swear she says 'mama'. Granted, it is more like mmmmmm, but I'm sure "mama" isn't far away :). She is such a cuddler and loves to snuggle. My favorite is when she reaches for my hand when I'm feeding her so she can hold it. She refuses to fall asleep on her own and still wakes up within minutes of putting her down in her crib-even when she is sound asleep.
She had a big weekend and rolled over from front to back on Saturday-most likely because she hates being on her stomach. We also gave her cereal on Sunday which she loved! She kept opening her mouth for more. Although, it didn't help her sleep like I was hoping! She still has her crazy hair and looks just like Jack when he was this age.
