5 Months Old: 12.17.12
- Still wearing 3 month clothes but have started the transition to 6 Month clothes because 3 month are getting hard to get over your head
- Wearing Size 2 diapers
-You are still not sleeping through the night. Bedtime is between 7-8 each night and you are usually up around 1 am and feeding is the only thing that will put you back to sleep. (and then you usually make it till 7am when dad gets you up)
- You are finally big enough for your ExerSaucer. You are still on your tip toes..so we put a pillow under your feet to give you a little "boost" You only like being in it for 20 minutes or so ( I think it is SO overstimulating for you)
- You ran all kinds of Christmas errands with mom. You loved all the stores, people and change of scenery
- We fed you your first "solid food" Rice cereal on 12.23.12 You did really well with it, no crying, no spitting it back up. You loved it. We can't wait to try some fruits and veggies now.
- You started to get really stinky gas (maybe from solids) and are now pooping only once a week! This is really crazy to all of us, but we know you are just maturing and using all of the nutrients from your breastmilk with very little waste. When you do "blow" (on Saturday's usually) it's pretty bad
- You also had your first public "blow out" We don't go out much (and now I know why!) :) We went to dinner with friends at Strouds. We had a bit of a wait, and I pulled you out of your car seat and got "the whiff" I went to the bathroom to change you, only to find out you had pooped through your onesie and onto your sleeper. We didn't have a spare outfit with us, and you needed a bath, so you and I went home, while dad stayed out with his friends. This was by far your worst poop to date!
- You are finally growing some "peach fuzz" hair. You still have no hair on the back of your head, where you lay down and rub your head back and forth
- You are pretty easy going, but have definitely been wanting to be held a lot more lately. (Especially at night when you come home from daycare and we are trying to cook dinner!)
- You still can't sit up unassisted. You do good in your Bumbo..but have what dad calls a "Pimp Lean" where you tip to your right
- I love your baby giggles and I know just how to get them..undressing you to take a bath! You get so excited. And you seem to be ticklish under your arms and a little on your sides
- You celebrated your First Christmas and even got to go see Santa!!
- You received a bunch a cool new toys to play with: Llama Llama books, duckies, squirt toys for the tub, monkey stroller toy, singing/talking puppy, Baby Einstein Octopus, Walker/activity center, new clothes, high chair toy, plush monkey blanket toy, crinkle dolly..and more!
- You love your activity mat, and are content there batting and pulling for over an hour!
- You love to be pulled up to stand now and can bare weight pretty well
- Your favorite place to fall asleep is on Daddy's chest.
- You are finding your voice and love to talk to yourself especially at 1am after feeding and getting a new diaper
