Our princess is five months old! She's 15.2 lbs. and I think she's getting longer and longer. Her legs are stronger, perhaps due to the morning Jumperoo exercises. Her milestone for the month: she started solids already! I'm feeding her twice a day with rice cereals and various vegetables. Not much changed from our routine, but her nap time has longer interval. She's mostly playing, either with me or by herself. She also discovered her toes taste better than her hands. A week before the twelfth, she had fever and I was worried sick as I didn't know the cause. We brought her to the doctor, she had sores on her throat and mouth. The pedia said it could be due to germs that reaches her mouth because of her putting anything in her mouth. She was prescribed with meds. I was a little relieved that the fever didn't occur again and after 2-3 days, she's back to normal.
Thus, an addition to her cleaning routine: cleaning her mouth-gums, tongue and inner cheeks, with a swab and water. And washing her hands and feet with soap and water as often as possible. Using the sanitizer if we're out.
If only we can be sick instead of our babies, most mothers would choose that.
