Now is a great time to store away all of your earrings and take off the glasses. Your baby wants to grab everything. Giggles are the norm now and you find yourself being extra silly to earn them.

Baby probably has a good laugh at them self in the mirror as well and is loving exploring water by splashing. Baby is ready to put things in their mouth so make sure all small items are far out of reach. 

Baby is very interested in your food but remember, that doesn’t mean baby is ready. Read more about feeding your baby here.

Some babies are sitting for a few seconds at 5 months but don’t worry if your little one isn’t there yet. Every child grows and progresses at a different rate. It’s important to help them advance but not push if they aren’t ready. Mom, you’re probably starting to feel a little more like yourself. Some of that brain fog might be starting to clear and you’re starting to feel a little more confident. You should be. You’re doing great!
