5 Months Old!

Carson Adam is five months old today!

 

At 5 Months You:

• Are so precious :) You are adorable, sweet, quiet, and a rather easy baby if I do say so myself!
• Wearing 6mo clothes that are getting tight!
• Weigh 18lbs
• Are getting awfully heaving to tote around in that car seat
• Sitting if propped forward on your arms, but aren't an official sitter since you'd fall right backwards if we let you
• Enjoy playing in your excersaucer, lying on your tummy or back on blanket with toys, sitting in your bumbo seat, and being played with and talked to by your family.
• Take about 3 naps a day. Usually you are quite a good napper.
• Drink 4-5 bottles a day, aroudn 6-8oz each
• Have been switched to a differnent formula made to reduce spit up and it helps so much! All of us aren't soaked in spit up anymore!
• Still get a kick out of your sister
• Get glad when Daddy comes home, you love to watch him and keep eye contact with him as he moves around the room
• Give smiles out very easily, unlike your sister did at your age
• Are noticably not as much of a noise maker as your sister was at this age.
• Have no interest in rice cereal, we tried at 20 weeks and you make the most disgusted faces! We'll try again in a month or so!
• Had your baby dedication at church
• Are still sleeping in your pack n play in Mom and Dad's room because I don't feel quite right about you sharing with your sister yet
• Are for sure sleeping through the night with an occasional getting up one time to eat, but mostly sleeping through about 10-11 hours.
• Always turn over to your tummy for sleeping and usually such your (left) thumb.
• Flap your arms and kick your legs when you're excited and giggle when your tummy is tickled!
• As always, are an incredible little blessing to our family
