G at 5 Months

I can't believe it is time to write this post (1 week late). Plus a bit of a photo dump.

Cool guy on the 4th of July

First 4th of July outfit

Day care celebration for the 4th.

 

Sleeping sideways

My little man is already 5 months. I have no idea where the past month went! It seemed to fly by!

Sleep: About the same as last month. You're almost sleeping through the night most of the time but every now and again you think you need a snack around 3:30.

Daily Routine: We're up for the day around 6:30-7. I usually feed you first then you lay on the bed while I get ready (don't worry moms I have a very close eye on him) most of the time you're sleeping again. 

We're still trying to leave leave for daycare  at 7:40 but more like 7:50 in reality. We sing all the way to daycare. You love going there so it is a fun way to start your day. 

I love to read

You're starting to be a better napper for her and she says you're a happier baby if you get a morning and an afternoon nap in. She has a hard time getting you to nap some days though. You're too busy playing and exploring. One day she said you were falling asleep playing with your toys and yet you still wouldn't nap for her.

First time at the pool

I'm still coming to visit you at daycare each day at lunch. So far we only had one day where I couldn't make it.

You're still napping on our way home from daycare. It is like a switch. You're happy and playing but the second you see me you get cranky and want to get in your car seat for a nap. It is pretty nice of you to do. It allows me to drive home and get the bottles washed and supper started before you wake up to eat.

First trip to the Zoo

Then you wake up to eat, you watch us eat. You're starting to get very interested in what we are doing, watching the fork go up and down again (same with cups). But I'm holding off on solids until next month, if you'll let me.

First time in the jumper

Eating: Still about the same. Once before we head out for the day plus you're eating a 4 oz bottle in the morning and afternoon. I also send you with a "snack" bottle of 2 oz. for whenever you need it. Plus you're eating at lunch and two dinners and a midnight snack. But I have no idea how much you're eating in total volume.

4 month well baby check up

Weight: Not sure. I would guess you're at about 19-20 pounds. We better start getting through those 6-9 month clothes because you'll cruise through them I'm sure! The 12 month ones aren't all that big.

Length: You seem to be filling out more of the car seat these days. I hope we will get a couple more months use out of it but who knows!

Diaper Size: Size 3 for you big boy! Many of my friends have children who are starting to potty train and they're in size 5 diapers, it makes me wonder if you'll slow down or if I'll be buying giant diapers for you later on. Other option is that you better potty train really early :)

Dad reading to G on father's day

Clothing size: 6-9 Months, as referenced above, they're really not that big. 9-12 months for Children's Place. Why do they feel the need to have their own sizing. I will never get it. We will be moving up again shortly I'm sure. You've really got to slow down, your wardrobe is plentiful but you're not giving me much time to use it! 

Hair: Fairly light where new hair is coming in. I think you'll have our hair color. Both mom and dad have similar shades.

Eyes: Beautiful Baby Browns. 

Righty or Lefty? You've always favored doing things with your left hand but do them better with your right hand. In the last month you've started to do more with your right hand now. Hopefully this means you're a righty like mom and dad. The world is an easier place for us righties.

Sleeping with Grandpa W

You're a determined baby. When you get your mind set on something you want to do it! Your new thing is to grab the handle on the sink and try to move it while the water is on. I hold you in the sink while I fill your little bath tub with water. You used to try to grab the water but have moved on to the handle. You will just sit and stomp your feet when you can't get it to move. Mom laughs. Sorry bud.

Hanging out with Grandpa W on Father's Day

You have mastered rolling about freely now. You refuse to sleep on your back now. The second your back hits the mattress you roll to your side. You'll bring your lets straight up in the air and plop them to one side or the other. You also continue to love bath time. You kick kick kick your legs in the bath and grab for toys. We are just about ready to get you in the big boy tub because you're just too restricted in the baby tub!
