All the sudden you're 5 months old. Another 30 days flew off the calendar and another monthly sicker photo shoot complete. It is true what they say that time flies faster with each child.
The 5th month has been so much fun. You are rolling over both ways. Have flipped onto your tummy at night and naps (resulting in much better sleep!). You are almost sitting up; so strong but a little wild with the head ;) I would imagine in a few weeks you'll get the hang of it. You are eating great. Having 5 bottles a day (5-6oz/bottle) and eating 2T of cereal at lunch. You have become quite the "dive bomber" and grab and dive trying to get a hold of whatever you see that intrigues you ;) - toys, hair, James, Charlie...mommy must HANG ON TIGHT! You are still mouthing and chewing everything you can find. Everyone keeps telling me teeth are on the way, but I think we are still months away from that (given your family history).
You are taking 2-3 naps a day approx 1-1.5 hrs and are sleeping from 7:30-6:30 most nights. Every once in a while, we have a middle of the night wake up call for an extra feed.
As I write this you are sickness free...but this is the first time in 4 weeks. July started out with Hand Foot Mouth, followed by 2 nasty colds and an ear infection finale. It's been tough but you've been a great patient. Your sleep has been very disrupted (up every 2-3 hours) but you're still such a happy boy during they day. I forgot how awful the first few months of day care are on your immune system. I just take comfort in the fact that you're building it up and we'll have more healthy days to come. Last time at the doctor you weighted in a whopping 18lbs 1 oz!
Each month is better than the next. Can't wait to see what month 6 brings! xoxo my darling.
Love, Mom
