5 months old...I can't believe it...you're 5 months old! Where has the time gone?!
5 months old, August 14, 2011
This has been a great month for you! You've become such a big boy.
You're wearing size 3 month clothes and size 3 diapers. You go to bed at 7:30pm and you're usually up in the morning by 6:30am. You love your sleep and you're still taking 3-4 naps a day. You drink an 8 oz. bottle first thing in the morning and then you have 3 more 6 oz. bottles throughout the day. You eat your dinner around 5:30pm.
You're almost sitting up on your own. We sit you up on the floor and you can balance yourself for a bit before you start to tip over. You do best when you're sitting up with the "Spin Spin A Letter" toy.
You love your Daddy so much. When you hear his voice you will turn your head and look for him until you find him. You love to give him a big smile when he talks to you.
You have the best cheekies in the whole world! I could kiss them all day long. Booski, I just love you so much.
You're such an active little monkey. This month you started army crawling all over the place. You don't stay in one place for very long. As soon as you're put down on the floor, you're off and crawling. Usually you head right towards Kenna's puppy or Trippy's toy basket! If you're not moving towards something, then you're twisting yourself around so that you're in the right position to watch both your sister and puppy. You just love them so much and you usually don't take your eyes off of them!
This month TWO bottom teeth popped through, which means you're drooling all over the place and putting everything in your mouth.
After lots and lots of practice this month, you are now eating your rice cereal. In order to give your cereal more taste, we combined it with Gerber stage 1 veggies. You've tried sweet potatoes, peas, squash, green beans and you have liked them all. We've also given you rice cereal with mixed fruit rather than just the plain rice cereal and you like that much better too! Right now you're eating your cereal at dinnertime and you sit in your highchair...no more Bumbo for you!
If we don't comb your hair right when you get out of the bathtub then you have crazy hair! I think you get that from your Daddy!
I started back to school this month. We had so much fun this summer. You, McKenna & I did so many things together. I already can't wait until next summer! I miss you guys so much while I'm at school, but I know that you're having lots of fun with Grandma & Grandpa Witkowski and Aunt Lynn. Grandma & Grandpa Witkowski come over to our house on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays and then I take you to Aunt Lynn's house on Wednesdays. You love Louie as much as your sister does!
You're loving your bouncy more and more these days. You've now figured out how to actually play with all of the toys that are on it and you've figured out how to BOUNCE!
I just can't get over how much you've grown this past month. Life couldn't be any better!
Just know that you are the most perfect little boy in the whole world.
I love you sweet boy.
Love, Mommy
