5 Months Old

Big smile =)

Last week Rylee turned 5 months old. Unfortunately, the past month has been kind of a rough one for Rylee. She has had a double ear infection and a bad cough. We just took her into the Dr.'s office today for her bad cough and the Dr. decided to start her on breathing treatments. We've given her 2 today and it already seems to be helping her. Her Dr. said it is just a bad time of year for these kind of viruses. I feel bad because I know that Rylee picks up a lot of germs from daycare. Lots of the kids there are sick with one thing or another. I feel guilty and wish I didn't have to expose her to all of that. People keep telling me it is good for her immune system and will pay off later but it sure is hard to see it that way right now. Hopefully she will start to feel better soon.

Even though Rylee has been sick she is still a happy, smiley, active little baby. She is rolling over a lot more now, both from her belly and her back. In fact it's getting harder to change her diaper cause she tries to roll over while you are changing her. She is also spending a lot more time on her tummy. It is funny cause when she is on her tummy she kicks her legs like crazy and you can just tell that she wants to be on the move. It's kind of nice that she's not mobile yet, we are going to enjoy this stage while it lasts.

The pictures above (with the bow in) are from over at our neighbor's house. Rylee has a lot more hair that Gracie so her mom Mindi wanted to put a bow in Rylee's hair. We thought it was kind of cute so we had to take a picture. Her hair is starting to fill in now and it is getting lighter and lighter. You can't really tell in these pictures but she has a lot of blonde hair. Who knows, we may have a blondie. Rylee is also starting to thin out a little. You can actually see her little neck now.
