I thought I really enjoyed you being 4 months old... but I think 5 months is now one of my favorite months!!! (And I will probably say that about next month too!)
Oh how I love you, and you are growing up so fast!!!!
This is YOU... at 5 months!
Weight: 18
pounds Height: 26.5
inches
You eat 4-5
oz. ever 3-4 hours
You sill spit
up all the time… and it is a lot… all the time.
Because of this, you wear a bib
and I wear a burp cloth all the time.
You still love to have your hand up on your bottle or by your face when you eat
You are
wearing size 2 diapers and size 3-6 month clothes... and a handful of 9 month clothes
You are
napping about 3-4 times a day… you are awake for about 2 hours and then go
down.
I’m still
swaddling you to go to sleep.
You are my
hardest baby to put down for a nap, and you usually scream for awhile while I
hold or bounce or rock you. *sigh*
You want to
suck your thumb or a paci… but you can’t figure either one out… or you just
aren’t 100% sure of either one.
You are
sleeping well at night… going down around 8:30/9:00 and waking up around 3 or 4
AM to eat… then sleeping until 6 or 7.
Once in awhile
you surprise us and sleep until 5:30 or 6! We'll count that as sleeping through the night!
You are now sleeping in your crib upstairs… bye-bye cradle… so sad!
You love your
toes, and they are in your mouth whenever you can reach them
You love to
have your hands in your mouth or by your mouth
You love being
outside and it makes you happy
We got out the
exersaucer and it has become one of your favorite places to play!
You are kind
of over the swing, but enjoy the kick gym and just playing on the floor.
You also love
to just sit on the couch and play with toys
You are a rock
star at rolling from your back to your tummy… and would rather roll to your
tummy than lay on your back.
You are getting
really good at holding on to toys and “playing” with them
You love to suck on your bottom lip. It's Liam's favorite face you make!
You went to
camp with mama and you were such a good baby!
You have taken
your last bath in our baby bath tub, and have now moved to the big bath tub…
another sad moment for mama.
You prefer to
grab toys with your left hand… hhhhmmmm????
You are my
Ergo baby… you really enjoy hanging out in the Ergo
You also love
to be held!
You are a
happy baby who pretty much goes with the flow
At the same
time, you also have a little temper and will let me know when you are not happy
with what is going on with you.
You have also
learned to arch your back when you are mad…. Silly boy!
You also kick your legs, and you have the LOUDEST "mad scream" of all my babies! Woah!
You love your
brothers and sister and they are great at entertaining you and making you laugh
You don’t
really have any nick names, but Ainsley is constantly singing “Baaaaylor…” to
the tune of “Day-O… me say Day-O!” I just keep smiling!
Your hair is
getting longer and it doesn’t stick up as much anymore… but your cowlick still
makes it look like it is “styled” all the time!
You fit so
perfect in my arms and my heart is aching for you to stay little for just a bit
longer. I can seriously feel my love for you grow each day!
You are
growing up so fast, and as much as I enjoy seeing you do new things and blossom
as a little guy…I desperately want my baby to stay for as long as possible.
Because of
this… I usually put my hand on top of your head at least once a day and tell
you not to grow anymore!
Baylor, I love
you more than my words can say! You are beyond a blessing to me sweet
boy!
