Amelia at 5 months

Amelia turned 5 months old a few days ago and has been developing really quickly.
Starting on December 30th she learned to sit quite well.

Now she can sit quite well. She doesn't even need to hold herself up with her hands.

And starting yesterday, she started joing us at he table in her own seat. 

 

Part of the reason we have her in her own seat is because she has really long arms. Sometimes I feel like they are Go-go Gadget arms. Twice I have had her far away from my food and somehow she was able to reach out and spill it all over both of us. 

Amelia loves her brother. She will laugh and laugh and laugh at him.

- Move almost anywhere she wants within a 3 foot range. (It is not quite an army crawl, but she somehow manages to get herself around)
