5 Months

This month has been a pretty good one overall!

We've had mostly steps forward and a couple of little lapses, well, really just one bigger one, but we're working on that.

• No doctor's appointment this month, but I estimate him to be about 15 lbs and 25.5 inches long. We'll see what his stats really are next month.
• He can almost sit up by himself- he's super close.

 

See? He's not really propped up here.

• He's still pretty small. There are some 3 month clothes he still fits in to! 
• He can roll from his back to his stomach and he loves to lay on his stomach now to play with his toys.
• He enjoys standing and holding on to things, but you have to watch him closely because he's not good at holding on.
• He'll reach out and grab at your face to give you kisses, but this can also be dangerous because of his fingernails that he digs into your face.
• KC entertains him a lot. He laughs and laughs when she comes near.
• Trey gets a big smile when he comes home from work.
• We're working on taking 3 consolidated naps during the day. This usually happens.
• Sometimes it's annoying but he loves his schedule and if we veer from it, he's usually one upset little boy.
• He's eating rice cereal once a day, but it's making him constipated, so we're about to switch to oatmeal. I will say that he LOVES eating from the spoon. It's pretty cute.
• Lately, he's been waking up at 5:30 am which is our step back. He used to be the best sleeper: 7-7 every night. We're working on pushing him to sleep later, but it's been one step forward, two steps back. I keep hoping this is just a phase, but it's been a four week long phase at this point. I am not enjoying this one at all. 

I can't think of anything else at the moment except that he finally discovered the bear he takes pictures with. Here's a little photo evidence.

 Hey you, Mr. Bear. Whatcha doing here?

 

What's this thing hanging off your neck?

This is my chair. Get outta here.
