My Baby's 15 Cutest Photos From Month 5
Fern Winter turned five months old last Friday and we had our monthly photo shoot. I can’t believe how fast she’s changing and growing (see Month 1 , Month 2 and Month 3 and Month 4 photo shoots to compare)!
This month Fern had her first doctor appointment, dealt with some remodeling, struggled with nap time, and Fern even shared her first laugh with us!
I am documenting Fern’s first year of life by doing a round up of my favorite photos from that month and taking her photo in front of our chalkboard and making a list of her likes and dislikes.
See Fern’s likes and dislikes and best photos from this past month after the jump!
Fern likes:
*grabbing her feet, *looking longingly outside, *Marley, *eating bananas in her snack net, *grabbing everything, *pinching and poking Daddy’s face, *flapping her excited arms
Fern dislikes:
*her new diapers, *too much tummy time, *having parents out of her sight, *Mommy’s sleep
Fern’s best photos from this month:
-
5 month photo shoot
In each month's photo shoot she just looks bigger and bigger. It never ceases to blow my mind.
-
Mommy & Baby
My friend Kacie snapped this photo while we were out at coffee one day and the lovely lighting has made it one of my favorites.
-
Future reader
This little lady has a thing for books and I'm hoping it sticks. I would be perfectly happy having a librarian for a daughter one day.
-
Fern's first laugh
This photo was taken about an hour before Fern's first laugh.
-
Like father like daughter
My husband goes off-roading and we joined him on an excursion this month. Fern stuck to this mini version for her off roading adventures though.
-
First taste of food
Gumming on a carrot was Fern's first culinary experience this month and she seemed quite fond of it.
-
Stoic
I love this photo because it perfectly captures Fern's calm and relaxed face - her usual day-to-day look.
-
Family time
This is a photo from our first family coffee date.
-
Life lesson
This month I learned that I should always carry more than one change of clothes. You can just imagine the situation and this is the aftermath - a naked baby with a very guilty grin.
-
Making friends with Marley
Fern has discovered Marley this month and she's totally into her and always trying to grab her fur.
-
My very hungry caterpillar
I often refer to Fern as my very hungry caterpillar, because just like the book, "she was still hungry". Her appetite knows no bounds.
-
My little ham
Fern has gotten super smiley this month and she'll often ham it up for me when I have my camera out.
-
My pink girl
Pre-baby I said I'd never dress my little girl in pink, but it looks so cute on her sometimes, I give in.
-
First high chair experience
This is a photo from Fern's first restaurant experience in a high chair. She was so excited about it and couldn't stop smiling.
-
Nap time
This month I finally got Fern to take her afternoon nap. The only problem? It requires me to nap with her. So sometimes we have photo shoots (or I do anyway) while I'm waiting for her to wake up.

Happy 5 months Fern! Love you sweet girl
Every posting she seems to get more beautiful!! I love your photos…it’s inspiring me to break out my camera which has been hibernating the last few weeks. Thanks for sharing. I love that she’s such a ham. Seems like pulling teeth to get David to ham it up like that. Congrats!
