5 months old

Mara is now 5 months old...we can't believe how fast time has gone by! She's recently learned how to roll from her back to her tummy & back again onto her tummy-pretty exciting for us first-time parents:)
We're trying out rice cereal...so far she hasn't been too impressed. We get more on our face & clothes than in our tummy! I think it's more of a change of texture for her to get used to.


Mara usually sleeps on her side with an arm over her head and the blanket between her legs...which is pretty much exactly how mommy likes to sleep as well:) It's amazing how those little traits come out & you notice little quirks about yourself.
We had a check-up with Mara's orthopedic specialist a few weeks ago. She's been out of her harness completely now, and does not even need to wear the step-down brace at night. All reports were "normal" and we have another check-up with xrays in 3 months. Her legs have strengthened faster than we expected & she's acting like a typical 5 month old. Praise the Lord for answering our prayers! Thank you to everyone for your support, prayers, and encouragement while Mara was in her brace! We're so thankful she's developing into a beautiful little girl.
