At 5 months, Olivia is sure doing a lot! She's rolling over both ways, scooting (backwards, but still scooting), laughing (mostly at Logan), smiling all the time, sleeping through the night for usually 7-8 hours at a time, and spreading joy wherever she goes!
One thing we have found out recently is that she is allergic to milk based formula. So we have her on soy. So far she is doing well with it, but it's only been a few days. We were going to start her on rice cereal, but figure we should wait and see how she does with the formula before starting her on that. We have to take her to an allergy specialist when she's about 8 months to get her tested to see if she is allergic to dairy products. Not fun, but necessary. It's wierd though because I eat lots of dairy every day and she hasn't had any problems that we know of. But with the formula she broke out in hives, and a huge rash all over her face. I guess we will just have to wait and see what the diagnosis is.
Her weight gain has slowed down quite a bit. She only gained 5 ounces this past month, putting her at 16lbs 13ozs. We're not sure how tall she is, but my guess is close to 27 inches.
