Nearly 5 months and a proper little person

Freya's growing so much!

She has recently found her feet and likes nothing better than staring wide-eyed at her socks and having a good suck!

She can now roll completely over and get her arm out from underneath her at last - and isn't so grumpy when she lands on her tummy these days!

She's a bit of a 'flinger' and when sitting on your lap will sunddenly stiffen her legs and throw herself backwards...I think she just really wants to be able to play with Noah. He's her absolute world! Freya chuckles at everything he does and often tries to copies his actions and noises!

She's still exclusively breast-fed and is a pro. If I'm holding her and she decides she's hungry now, she'll just dive-bomb down towards my boob and start clawing and bashing at my top! I wanted to wait until she was 6 months to wean her (for my sake more than hers!!) but just recently she's been getting really stroppy while we've been eating - insisting on sitting on one of our laps while we eat and watching every mouthful we take! We go on holiday from 6th-13th september so once we're back I'm going to start her on the baby rice as she'll be 5 and a half months by then anyway.

Freya now sleeps in her own room too. Again I wanted to wait until she was 6 months but we have really narrow doorways in the house and I really couldn't be bothered to put the cot up in our room in the new house only to have to completely dismantle and move it again in a few weeks time so she's in her room already. She got into a bit of a habit of falling to sleep in her swing chair or on the boob for the fortnight we were staying with my Dad before the new hosue was ready so we had a few evenings of tears and screams as I trained her back into falling asleep alone but it didn't take long.

She's a really gorgeous little girly and I'm loving having a baby and a pink person in the house so much!
