5 Months Old

On Saturday our little peanut boy turned 5 months!

He wasn't too thrilled with getting his photo taken but we did it anyway. (he needed a nap but wasn't giving in!)

Here's whats been happening the last month!

• You are a solid 15 pounds by now!
• You wear size 2 diapers
• A typical feeding is 4-6 oz during the day and 6 oz bottles before bed.
• You sleep through the night, going down around 8:30pm and getting up around 7:30 am. You are a champ and Mommy thanks you!
• Nap time usually hits around 10:00 am for a quick cat nap, a 2-3 hour nap in the afternoon around 1:30 or 2:00, and usually another cat nap around 5:30 pm.
• It is easy to get you down at night. You get your bottle and either fall asleep during it or will put yourself to sleep after I lay you down.
• We started rice cereal and a few foods (green beans, sweet potatoes, and squash) all of which you have taken to very well. It seems that squash is your favorite which I find odd.
• You roll EVERYWHERE! I have walked out of the room for a quick second and by the time I return you are across the room.
• When you are rolling sometimes you will stop to see if we are watching. If we aren't you will stop, pose, and then wait until we look at you.
• You love to laugh and your giggles are infectious
• You want to crawl so bad. If you could figure out moving forward you would be taking off.
• You babble constantly. We hear "ba ba ba ba babababababa ba". "MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM", and "da da da da da da" quite a bit.
• Bear is still very interesting but you have now figured out that he is soft and you love to pet him.
• You're working on your two bottom front teeth right now. we've now gone through them coming and going 3 times!
• We often find you sucking on your bottom lip
• You love to stick out your tongue and think you are pretty cute.
• You love being talked, sung, or read to.
• Your personality is starting to show through. I think you are going to be quite the comedian.
• Pretending to be shy has become a favorite game along with peek-a-boo.
• Standing is a lot more fun than sitting. Dr. Mahon thinks it is funny that you won't pull to sit, you would rather pull to stand!
• You love to bounce and jump. I know you are hoping for a 'jumping chair' for Easter.... guess we will have to talk to Daddy er, the Easter bunny!?
• You are such a happy and sweet baby! Very easy going and easy to please (usually). Mommy and Daddy feel very blessed to have a baby like you!

The past month has been so much fun! We can't wait to see what happens in the next month!
