5 months old!

 Brenya turned 5 months yesterday! Time has flown by.  It seems like just last month she was brought into this world ready to face the tough problems she had ahead of her.  Looking at her now, you would never know what she had to overcome.  She is progressing very quickly and we could not be prouder or ask for more from her.  She is eager to crawl and explore and is working hard to develope the muscles needed to do so.  She even loves to stand and can do so with just a little support.  She is able to sit on her own for a couple of seconds but is still a little wobbly and rolls over like a pro.  She is even showing intrest in eating solids although we haven't quite started them yet.  She giggles, talks a lot and loves to play.  She is very fond of our dog Rufus and enjoyes petting and watching him.  She is still small, at her last weight check a week ago she weighed 10 lbs 6 oz but she is still healthy and chubby.  Naps are not something she likes and fights sleep almost every time she needs to take one.  I guess there is just too much for her to miss out on and she doesn't want that! We love our little girl and all the exciting and challenging moments she brings us!

This was taken a couple of days ago.  She is just so worn out from tummy time.

More and More Progress

Brenya is doing amazing! She is working on sitting up, rolling over, and crawling.  She is getting very strong and exercises everyday to get even stronger. She is able to sit up for a couple of seconds by herself and she pushes off the floor with her elbows when on her tummy.   Her growth has slowed a little but she is still doing great.  She is in the 2nd percentile, so she is small but healthy.  She giggles a lot and is very curious about everything she sees.  Mom and dad have to watch her and not let her grab things she shouldn't.  We are all very proud of her and the accomplishments she has made.
