So, 5 months old. This month has seen a lot of good nights of sleep, a lot of questionable nap times, lots of giggles and even more exploring. It gets more and more fun daily! Over the past month, we've introduced Samson to food (one kind a week because I make it myself & I'm too lazy for more than that). He becomes more mobile as the days pass, he can roll and scoot with the best of them. He's got his own version of "crawling" down, which I'm fairly certain is going to result in rug burn on his forehead soon. He is a bed-time all-star and a nap-time rookie. He loves to be surprised, play peek-a-boo and chase Cash around the house. If he's crying, he'll almost always settle down for a big, wet smooch from his furry brother or some time outside.
Age : 5 months
Height : 26 1/2 " (ish)
Weight : 17 lbs (ish)
Clothes : 3-6 months and a few 6-9 months. They are big on him, but I thought I'd rather buy more clothes for him to grow into... you can call me a thrifty mom ;)
Diapers : Charlie Bananas during the day, and size 3 up & up diapers at night time. We sized up his diapers for volume, not size. He's still a little string bean!
Eating : 6.5 oz/5 x a day, rice cereal and homemade baby food once or twice a day (so far : bananas, avocado, sweet potato, apples, next up: butternut squash!)
Sleeping : 7:30pm-7am, nap time is totally suspect these days. Mr. Busy Body wants nothing to do with naps unless he is in the carseat or stroller.
Pacifiers : MAM pacifiers and his fingers and/or whatever stuffed animal he can get his hands on.
Likes : Playing with Cash, books and stuffed animals, playing with mommy & daddy, going for walks, being outside, jumping in the bouncer, bath time
Dislikes : Napping in his crib, being strapped down in any capacity, dirty diapers, eating food when he's really hungry for a bottle, catching a glimpse of himself crying in the mirror... the travesty!
