5 months!

Kylie turned 5 months on Sunday. She is doing great. So far she has tried sweet potatoes, bananas, carrots, squash, peaches, applesauce (her fav), pears, and even sweet peas. She does wonderful with food, in fact she would rather have food any day over her bottle. Honey says Lee was this same way when he was a baby. SHe is still on the Nutramigen formula, but we are hopeful Dr. Hammad will put us on regular formular at her 6 month check-up next month. She is really responsive these days and LOVES for us to talk to her, make funny noises, and goofy faces. She discovered her feet a few weeks ago and diaper changes are not as easy as they used to be b/c she always has her feet up by her head. She is such a smiley little girl and everyone at nursery loves her. She is infatuated with all of the other babies and children. And when she is at home she is in constant search of Dolly. Our biggest challenge is that we are still not sleeping through the night and in fact she gets up more times than ever. I am not sure what to do about that???? Suggestions? I let her cry it out but 30 minutes or more will pass and she will still scream. How long do you let them cry it out?? We are desperately hoping for sleep at our house for Christmas. haha. Any ideas on sleeping would be appreciated. I have tried bathing during the day, bathing right before bed time, rice cereal in her last bottle, etc. Kylie does not want to miss out on anything and sleep is not on the agenda. We have been to see Santa twice this month and both times she giggled and stared. She really liked him, I doubt it will be this easy next year. She is still pretty long and lean. She is in 6 month clothes, but bottoms still seem to fall off her waist and one-piece rompers will barely snap in the length. We are all excited about her 1st Christmas and cannot wait to wake up Christmas Day with this cutie!
