5 Months!


5 Months!
August 25, 2011
Technically, you have been five months for a couple weeks now... but the charger to the computer broke, leaving me with no blogging capabilities.

Highlights:

  • You wear 6 months Carter's clothes, but starting to wear 9 month onesies
  • You wear size 2 Pampers diapers (only at night) you wear cloth during the day
  • You found your feet in the bathtub!
  • You are so ticklish, I can just barely touch your feet and you giggle!
  • You now have eaten: avacados, apples, carrots, peas, sweet potatoes, green beans, prunes and now bananas. The only thing you really do not like are green beans.
  • You are generally a very happy baby; you get fussy when you get tired.
  • You still exclusively nurse and unfortunately stopped taking a bottle, so we are working on that.
Each month this is going to get a little harder; you are a wiggle worm!
  • Sleeping at night: you have had a rough patch in this area... You wake up often after 45 minutes of going to sleep around 7. Then you started rolling over from your back to your tummy and getting stuck and frustrated. One night, I woke up NINE times to flip you over. I think you were going through a growth spurt the last couple weeks because you were waking up to eat 3 ish times a night to eat. You ate A LOT. This last weekend, we went to Bend, and you slept AWESOME! So, hopefully you just turned a new leaf.
  • Napping: you usually take three naps a day. It is hard for you to get past 45 minutes (your sleep cycle), but when you do you can take a 2.5 hour nap.
This is us this last weekend in Bend:

We love you so very much! Seriously, my heart continues to melt whenever I see you!

Hi Becca,

Loved reading your post! I wanted to ask you about your choice in cloth diapers for the day and Pampers for night. Let me know if I can send you an email.

Thanks!
Laura
