Five Months


Well little guy, we made it through another month. It was a tough one for you & a sleep deprived one for the rest of us. You got two really bad colds this month & had a tough time dealing with it. Thankfully you are all better now & hopefully won't be burdened with one like it again (although I am told that is wishful thinking). Obviously your sister loves you so much that she wants to share everything with you, unfortunately for you colds are harder for you than her.

This month you started to enjoy your bath much more, are trying to grab your feet a lot & are showing a greater interest in toys. You have started to spend more time in the exersaucer & are finally enjoying floor time more. You have started to roll over on your side a lot, but seem quite content to stay there & are not venturing any further. You don't seem to mind when I roll you over, but you don't seem to have any interest in trying it yourself.


Your sleeping pattern is starting to regulate, but you still seem to need to cry for at least 3 minutes before you will go to sleep. You are starting to nap well, but only in your crib & you always wake up after about 30 minutes to cry for about 5 minutes before you go back to sleep. I wish I knew why you must do this. You are still getting up once in the night to be fed, usually around 3am. This month that night feeding was a little longer than previously because you would "talk" after you were fed. This too has improved the past few nights, so I hope that you have finished with that little stage. I really like being back in bed within a half an hour.


In another month you will start to have solids & we think you are going to love it based on how much you love to watch us drink & eat. Until then you will have to remain satisfied with your bottle, which you on occassion have held all on your own!
