There were definitely a lot of big events that happened in Wells' 5th month, like those that I already documented: his Baptism, all of the Christmas celebrations, and New Years. These are all the other things that we did in between that month!
Having lunch with Mimi
Mommy and Daddy had a date night to see Breaking Dawn part 2 while Memommy and Ganddaddy babysat
We celebrated Adam's birthday
started playing with his feet more
half way rolling over on the play mat
belly laughs and giggles with daddy
Wells got his first cold. We went to the doctor when it wasn't getting better and found out that he also had his first ear infection, and got prescribed his first pink medicine/antibiotic. :( Poor buddy didn't feel so great and Mommy had a sinus infection at the same time.
Amazed when discovering the cup during his bath one night
Playing with cousins at Jacob's 1st Birthday play date
visiting with grandmother who was in town for Christmas Holidays
Bundled up at cousin Bennett's 5th Birthday party
Exploring new ways to play after getting so many fun Christmas presents
cuties
tried Rice Cereal for the 1st time
and did NOT like it
started sitting up assisted much better
and just kept growing up and being our precious angel baby
5 month photo shoot
Age: 5 months old
(we didn't have a checkup doctor's appointment this month, but was measured at his sick visit)
Weight: 15 pounds 11 ounces (50%)
Height: 26.75 inches (90%)
Head: ?
Likes: Pulling his paci out of his mouth, smiling in response to you smiling at him, talking/babbling, standing and sitting, throwing toys
Dislikes: when he can't get the paci back in his mouth, being sick, socks on his feet or blankets over his legs
Eating: still breastfeeding: had been eating every 3 hours since he was born (8am, 11, 2, 5, 8pm), until New Years weekend when we moved to a new schedule of eating every 4 hours (8am, 12, 4, 7:30pm)- this is working MUCH better because now he will eat more at every feeding, doesn't get fussy in between, and he started napping longer between each feeding (about 8-9 minutes eating total)
Sleeping: we moved our bedtime routing earlier so that he was usually asleep by 8pm and sleeps until anytime between 6 & 8am. When he got sick, he stopped sleeping through the night as much and would wake up coughing or just miserable so there were a few nights of not sleeping very well.
Diapers: Size 2 Pampers (nighttime diapers too) but he's starting to grow out of them it seems from the number of blowouts he's had
Clothes: 6 month dressy clothes/bubbles and 6-9 month cotton/play clothes/pajamas
Other things to mention from this month:
- Constantly pulls paci out and puts it back in
- Rolls the top part of his body over when laying on his back but doesn't try to rotate his hips to roll all the way
- Smiles when you ask him to or he sees you smiling
- Squirmy on the changing table and will twist the top of his body to reach things on the table behind him
- Can't be left unattended laying on his back anymore since he rotates and squirms
- Started throwing toys out of the car seat
- Completely was uninterested in rice cereal- wouldn't open his mouth or swallow any of it
- Will kick his left sock off all the time
- Doesn't like blankets over his legs at nap time or in the car seat anymore- kicks until it's off of him
- Drools a lot whenever he is playing upright (in his exersaucer or door bouncer)
- Is still such an angel baby!
We love you sweet love muffin!
