*You are wearing size 3-6 month clothing
*You wear a size 2 diaper
*You still love to "talk" to us and you are giggling more often. We haven't had a full out laugh from you yet but I'm sure it's coming soon.
*You can roll over both ways (when YOU want to). Right after your 4 month birthday you started rolling from your back to your tummy ALL the time. We even had to stop swaddling you because of this and you decided you wanted to be a tummy sleeper--much to my dismay. Every time I would put you on your back to sleep, you would roll right back over to your tummy. This made your mommy very nervous at first but we have been using Lily's Snuza monitor to help with my nerves. You LOVE sleeping on your tummy and the good news is the flat spot on the back of your head is getting much less noticeable. However, in the last week or so you have been on a rolling strike---you have not wanted to roll over at all. I went back and looked at Cason's 5 month post and it said the SAME thing. He went on a rolling strike at 5 months too---LOL. I'm sure you will be rolling all over the place soon.
*Once you started rolling over, we moved you to your crib at night.
*You do not like your rice cereal so far. In fact, very little of the cereal actually makes it into your sweet little tummy. Most of it gets spit out. I have to spoon every bite of cereal into your mouth at least 7 or 8 times because you keep spitting it out. Lots of it ends up on your bib and your face. You definitely won't be getting any food that has color in it until we get this worked out.
*Your reflux has really started to take a turn for the better the past week or two. I'm hoping it stays this way---you have been nursing so much better. Thank goodness for prayers your reflux medicine!!!
*Because you are eating better during the day, you have also started sleeping better at night. I think we are finally about to get back to sleeping through the night AGAIN. You've done it a few times now and it has been great!
*You nurse 6-7 times a day, take 3-4 naps a day, and sleep 12-13 hours at night (with 1-2 feedings during that time).
*You still have pretty blue eyes
*You will take the pacifier if you are sleepy but that's about the only time you want it. You have started sucking on your fingers a LOT lately.
*No teeth yet. I thought you were getting one last month but I was wrong---I am thinking one will come very soon though.
*You are such a HAPPY, HAPPY baby. You smile all the time and you are just SO sweet. The only things that make you upset are if you are hungry, sleepy, or if you are stuck in your car seat. Occasionally you will get upset/scared if someone new is holding you---you have a little bit of stranger danger already.
Your 5 month photo shoot was the most challenging one so far. You either wanted to lean all the way forward (to play with your feet) and fall over or lean all the way back and lay flat on your back. It was quite the struggle to get a few pictures of you sitting up.
