Five Months

Happy 5 Months Little Man! The months are passing by so quickly.  This last month has been fun to watch you grow.  You are even more mobile now and are exploring everything you can. 

BABY STATS:

Weight: 15 lbs 

Length: 25 inches

Hair Color:

Red

Eye color:

Gray Blue but the inside is starting to hint towards green.

Diaper Size: You have moved into size 3.

Clothes Size: You are still wearing 3 months. You live in onsies because I feel like they are the easiest to dress you in!  They are getting a little tight so it may be getting time to try out some 6 month clothes.  You are still skinny though so that's why I haven't attempted it.

Nicknames: Tarter Sauce or Tarter

Sleep: Sleep is not happening for long periods of time so we are changing things up for you.  We got you out of the swaddle and you have been sleeping in the Baby Merlin Magic Sleepsuit.  We have decided to wean you out of that and are using the techniques from the book "The Sleepeasy Solution."  It worked wonders with Liam and within 3 days of starting it, we had Liam sleeping through the night in his crib. We just laid you down without your Sleepsuit while in your crib and you are asleep!! Fingers crossed that you start sleeping better today!

Eat: You still eat every few hours, either nursing or getting breastmilk in a bottle when Mom is not around. One more month and we may start giving you some solids.

Daily Routine: Eat. Sleep. Poop. Roll Around, Try to CRAWL! and Chew on stuff. Repeat.

Milestone: You are EVERYWHERE! You roll, get in the plank position, get on your hands and knees and army crawl to get things you want.  Dad gives you a couple more weeks until you are full blown, hands and knees, crawling. But I say "SLOW DOWN, Little dude!"

You got your first dose of Tylenol this month after your shots.  You looked like you could hear colors!

Tylenol Face!

You took your first bath with your brother.  We put your infant tub in the bath tub and put you in.  We then filled up the big tub and Liam got in.  You both loved it!

Likes:  You like whatever you can grab and put in your mouth.  You will army crawl to anything on the floor and try to suck on it.  Your brother's leg, a big toy truck, a book, your teethers etc.
You love a teether necklace I made myself to wear when Liam was little.  You chew on it until it's covered in drool.
You like the blue Lamaze plush horse that Liam had when he was little.  It was his favorite toy also!

Dislikes: You don't like being in the car lately.  You have been extra angry when you are in your seat. 
You don't like when Dad has to put you down for bed at night.  You are much happier when Mom doesn't work late and can snuggle until you fall asleep. 

Firsts:

First Baby Pushup
First Army Crawl
First time sleeping in your crib
