@ 5 months old

Olivia at 5 months old is always trying to talk like us, uses her voice a lot, sometimes talk herself with her toys, she is getting smarter each day. She loves people's attention; always being an angel. She can sit herself with some support on sides, but sometimes lose the balance. She is still drooling a lot, but no tooth in sight. I think i did see her trying to sign milk once and grabbing the bottle; but then she is grabbing almost everything and trying to eat everything even the paper! What she sees what her mama or dada is doing is what she wants to do too! One afternoon with my friends at the restaurant i had my iced tea full and Olivia tried to use the straw to drink it like I did but it didn't work for her; in a second she used her strong arm and slapped it away, it spilled all over! ....not her first time...
Lately some ppl have come up to me and thinking Olivia is a boy! beside her clothing, her face & ears & hair actually looks like a boy; i'm starting to agree with them. I can't wait for warmer weather so she can start wearing dresses, she got it on the hangers waiting to wear!

The low of this month was when she had fever 39-40 for 2-3 days with lots of diarhea and sleepless nights but now she is all better & looking beautiful as ever!
