Five Senses

Five months Callie-style looks a little like this:
> big smiles and chubby cheeks and sparkly eyes
> slobber (always slobber) on her chinny chin chin
> toe munching in the evenings during "kicking time"

Five months Callie-style sounds a little like this:
> squealing and shrieking (happily) and the hollow thumping of her little feet kicking the mattress in her crib after she wakes up
> giggling (more like courtesy laughing) at her parents' vain attempts at 5-month-old humor
> crazy splashing (involving all arms and legs - at the same time) during baths

Five months Callie-style feels a little like this:
> oh-so soft skin to nibble and kiss on
> a fuzzy head nuzzling into your neck again (we had a couple month hiatus on this due to her thinking she was big stuff and wanting to hold her head up all. the. time.)
> little pinches and scratches and pulled hair that are quite surprising (and surprisingly painful)

Five months Callie-style tastes a little like this:
> mostly breast milk, morning, noon and night
> a taste or two of rice, oatmeal and squash (until the parents backed off due to tiny tummy troubles)
> absolutely NO bottles (Cal's choice) but a newfound (as of yesterday, so far) love of the sippy cup (even when it had formula inside - shocking!)

Five months Callie-style smells a little like this:
> whiffs of Johnson's Baby Bedtime Bath when she is unwrapped from her swaddle or when you kiss her head
> slightly sour spit-up spots on her shirts
> shockingly potent farts and poops from that tiny, squishy bum
