5 months

At 5 months old, Leah:
is wearing 3-6 mos size clothes
wears a size 2 diaper
sleeps really well some nights (only waking once) and not so great other nights (waking every 1-2 hours)
takes 1-3 naps every day
likes being worn in the pouch
actually likes riding in the car now
loves attention and lets you know it by smiling and squealing at you

I took Leah to the dr. a couple weeks ago for a check up and they are concerned about her weight. She is not gaining as well as they'd like. We've been trying to supplement, but she will NOT take a bottle, and our attempts at other methods have not gone well either. I have an appt. with a lactation consultant next week to make sure she is doing as well as she can at nursing, and we have a few appts with other specialists next month to rule out other things that could be causing the slow weight gain.

I, personally, feel like she is fine. She is gaining slowly, but she's still gaining, and she is healthy in every other regard. She is meeting and surpassing all her milestones. However, I don't want to ignore the issue and let it get out of hand. I don't want her to get to a point where she stops gaining, or starts losing, so we are taking all the measures we need to take to make sure she gets what she needs.

I finally uploaded some more pics from my camera. For your viewing pleasure...
