Love: 5 Months

I'm a bit late on posting this, but the week he turn 5 months old was also the week of his great-grandma's funeral, needless to say it has been crazy. So here we go.

 
Age: 5 months

Weight: 16 pounds

Clothing Size: 3-6 months


Likes: Bath time still tops the list as a favorite time of the day. Also, playing outside, he can be screaming, and as soon as we go outside he is quite.  Mickey Mouse Clubhouse is by far his favorite TV show, especially the hotdog dance at the end, he laughs and laughs.

Dislikes: Being left in the room alone.

Sleeping: I broke the habit of putting him in our bed. He is now sleeping all night in his own crib (minus a few nights on vacation). There are a few nights every once in a while that he actually sleeps all night, but normally he wakes up to eat in the middle of the night. Many mornings he will also go back after the morning feeding and sleep until about 8 or 8:30.

Eating: Bottle feeding has become increasingly harder. There have been instances where he will skip a feeding rather than take a bottle. I have decided that I am going to have to make a point of giving him one bottle a day. At Connor’s 4 month check-up we were told we could start cereal and then a few weeks late fruits and vegetables. Starting cereal was a bit interesting; I learned that runny cereal was not for him. It has to be thick, like mashed potatoes.

Playing: Tummy time has gotten better. And he has learned to roll over! It took a lot of practice, he could not figure out what to do with that arm. He has also found his feet, and grabs at them all the time.

 

What we did this Month: This month we took Connor on his very first vacation. We went to Inlet Beach, Florida. The car ride down there was a little rough, he was just done with the car seat. While down there, he enjoyed the pool, slept through his first visit to beach, and did not like the bright sun. Unfortunately, our vacation was cut short due to the passing of my grandmother, Connor’s great-grandmother. I am so happy that she got to meet him, I know that she loved him.
