What does UR 5 month old do??

Mine eats solids already lol. she still can't turn over from belly to back or vice versa. She turns to the side though. loves to hide her face with the diaper. not sure why shes doing that.

I would like to hear from moms who have this age baby!

I have a 4 month old- I just started solids.

They learn how to grab onto stuff this month? That is so cute Smile

My baby doesnt roll over either.

No solids yet, just breastmilk. What's the rush? She turns on her side from her back but isn't rolling over yet in either direction. Smiles, giggles. Is scared of strangers - she makes a sad face and cries lol. Plays with toys that are easy to grasp (made out of material). Discovered her toes recently. Grabs the tablecloth.

Mine will be 5 months tomorrow.
She can sit up for a bit unsupported, rolls over both ways, loves playing with toys.
No solids, but the other day my 2 year old gave her a crumb of pretzel much to my dismay and she loved it.
Suffers from separation anxiety -- it's getting nuts. Knowing my kids, she'll be like this for a bit past 1. And starting at 4 months, that's a LONG time to go through it.
She's a pitzele, but oh, so cute.
Loves playing with toys, if Mommy is right there.
Jumps a lot in exersaucer or on my lap; she is quite a squirmy kid.
Hates, hates, hates baths. Sigh.

Mine is about four months - close enough?

If your baby hates baths, try steaming up the bathroom before you go in, and keep it really warm in there the whole time. My first was like that, and steaming up the room really helped. I think he was just cold!

DS rolls over both ways and moves around a lot. Loves to squirm and can stretch/creep himself off of his play mat. Likes toys, especially anything he can put in his mouth. Sits unsupported but supervised on the couch w/ a tendency to bend forward. Plays with his toes and loves to jump/bounce on Aba. No real solids yet, tried banana once, liked it, sweet potato once, hated it. Mostly breastmilk- in no rush. Loves being held and Loves bath time. Laughs a lot B'H. Doesn't like to sleep that much though.

DD is 4-1/2 months old, turns over in both directions, starting to babble.

Good at grabbing things. Likes attention, eye contact, very smiley.

I started giving her tastes of solids (homemade orange mush) this week. She actually seems to like it, but swishes it around in her mouth a lot and swallows only a small % of what I give her (which is <1/8 tsp anyway).
