Afton at 5 Months!

My Sweet Afton is 5 months old already! The other day, Weston said "Afton has been a baby forever... When is she going to grow up, already?" But I'm saying "Afton's already five months! Why is she growing up so fast?"
Just the last month she has gotten so fun and learned new skills: When she drops a toy, she looks for it.
When Jag walks past her, she flips over to follow him and tries to make a grab. If she DOES get a handful, she pulls hard... and Jag runs away.
We went to the pet store the other day and Afton was SO excited by the little puppies! She squealed and kicked- and that was just looking at them in the glass cages!
She now knows her mommy- Afton loves a party with lots of people and she'll kick her legs and babble. But, as soon as I hand her off to someone (except Daddy) she takes one look around and bursts into tears. Already!
She sleeps in the crib, now, instead of the swing.
Afton loves to laugh at Hyrum, especially over the dinner table. And Weston has great hair for grabbing...
She loves to grab anything and stuff it straight in her mouth- especially when I am eating! She wants food so bad, even though she had never had it. So, we tried a little rice cereal- eh, food isn't all she thought it would be, I guess. She didn't care too much for it. :)
Weston took the pictures for me:




We're still working on her crooked neck, doing stretches everyday. It's much better when she lays down but sitting up it still LeaNeS... Speaking of, she is doing awesome at sitting up and even supporting her weight standing up- she's just a strong little girl, determined to grow up too fast like her big brothers! Oh how we love our Afton!

Hyrum had torticollis, too which gradually went away when he learned to crawl and such with stretches. Chloe had a slightly crooked neck but its fixing itself with tummy time, but she is not rolling over or wanting to initiate any movement so she's in PT for that, too! What a cute little girl you have there, and great helpers!
