5 Months Old

Weight:  {Next appt. November 30} 

Length:  {Next appt. November 30}

Head Circumference:  {Next appt. November 30}

Clothing Size:  He's still wearing pretty much the same size clothing.  His 3 month Carter's stuff is getting a little snug, but he can still wear them ok.  He can also fit in 6 month stuff though in some brands.

Feeding:  We're dealing with him being super distracted while eating during the day now.  Usually that means he will only eat the bare minimum during the day and then load up during the night...which = very little sleep for mommy.  :(

Sleeping:  He really hates naps and it varies day to day whether he even takes naps at all.  He's been sleeping fairly well at night lately, but that varies sometimes too!

Loves: The exer-saucer, showers with mommy, breastfeeding, sucking on his fists, standing, talking, mornings, funny faces, mirrors, peek-a-boo, his toes, the jogging stroller, splashing.

Hates: Sleep, bottles, his car seat, not being able to see everything.

Thoughts on the fifth month

5 whole months old little man!  I can't believe it!  I know I say that every month, but it just feels like every day flys by with you!  You're getting so much bigger and so much stronger.  You can already hold Daddy's hands and pull yourself up to stand.  You rolled over for the first time a couple weeks ago and you're starting to enjoy time on your tummy much more than you did before.  You love it when I take you into the shower with me.  You flap your little arms around and smile when the water hits you! You're grabbing at all of your toys and you love to put your little monkey in your mouth.  In fact, everything goes in your mouth these days!  Tomorrow is your first Halloween and you're dressing up as a shark.  Hopefully we'll get some pictures of you, but who knows since we've been in the middle of a hurricane the past few days!  Your first hurricane buddy!  Thankfully it wasn't as bad as we thought it would be, but Mommy was pretty scared for a bit.  You particularly enjoyed having both Mommy and Daddy off from work for a few days!  We love you so much and really enjoyed the time home with you too!
