isla - 5 months

i am not sure what i've been doing for the last month, but it hasn't been blogging.  we moved into a new house just over a month ago and we love it.  we are almost completely finished unpacking- and if we ever finish peeling the wallpaper border down from the master bedroom- we might actually paint in there and move our furniture in instead of sleeping on the floor on our mattress. i might write a post about our house one day- so stay tuned!

isla turned 5 months old on november 17th.  this was a rough month for us.  i don't know if it was the move, a wonder week, or what, but she was crazy.  things have settled (esp with her) and now she is just the happiest baby ever- but this past month her sleep schedule was all jacked up, she was fussy and just plain crazy.  no doctor's appointments this month, so i am guessing that her weight is probably around 12 lbs.  she finally mastered rolling over from her back to her belly- but the first time she did it was in her pack n play at 1 am in a fit of rage.  she's let us see her roll over since and now, just like ian, she prefers to sleep on her belly.  she is still nursing well- but is starting to show an interest in what we are eating.  she doesn't really sleep much during the day, despite my efforts, but she does sleep at night for maybe 10 hours?  we almost have her room ready- so i think she'll be moving in there pretty soon, but we've got to figure out how to get it warmer in there.  it's an icebox! 

i can't believe it's been 5 months already.  it seems crazy that it's been that long, yet it seems like it's been forever.
