5 months old/５ヶ月

Time flies!! It's the beginning of December, which means it is the last month of the year. Also, Pineapple turned 5 months old today.

Here are the things that Pineapple has started doing last few weeks:
-grabbing an object near her
-taking her pacifier out of her mouth and putting it back in by herself
-passing an object from one hand to the other
-following with her eyes when we point to something

It seems that she lost her interest in rolling onto her side for now. She doesn't do it much unless she is trying to reach for something near her. However, she loves sitting up when we pull her up by her hands, and lately she has even come all the way to her feet by keeping her knees and back straight. For now she can't stay up without support, but it makes me wonder if she might do one of them or both before she rolls over.

In the picture, Pineapple is holding one of her favorite toys at this moment, a plastic bottle.

光陰矢の如し！もう１２月の初め、つまり今年も最後の月となりました。そして、今日でパイナップルが５ヶ月になりました。

ここ数週間でパイナップルが出来るようになった事を書き上げてみます。
ー近くにある物をつかむ
ー自分でおしゃぶりをとった後、また口に入れなおす
ー片手に持った物を別の手に持ちかえる
ー何かを指差すと目で追う

今の所、体を横向きにするのは興味がなくなってしまったようです。近くにある物を取ろうとする以外は、あまりやりません。でも、腕を引っ張ってあげて座るのが楽しいようで、最近では座るだけではなく、背中と膝を伸ばしたまま立つようになりました。寝返りをする前にお座りやたっちをするのかも、なんて思ってしまいます。

写真は最近のお気に入りのおもちゃ、プラスチックボトルで遊ぶパイナップルです。
