Parker was 5 months old on January 5th. No check up with the doctor this month so no official stats. I'll share those again next month. He continues to grow, move, and do something new each day. He has done so many new things since the last time I updated so this list is going to be pretty long!
- Wearing 6-9 month onesies and pants but we're getting closer to the 9 month ones each day.
- Size 3 diapers
- Taking 6-8 ounce bottles - averaging 32 ounces of formula a day
-Sleeping 11 hours a night! Holy cow, I just said that! Goes to bed anywhere between 9 &10:30pm and sleeps the entire night without waking. Every night. And yes, I know how extremely lucky I am with this. :)
- Most nights puts himself to sleep on his own in his crib but will fall asleep on his own anywhere. The floor, swing, a big bed, couch, etc.
- Naps (for a longer period of time) two times a day. Morning and afternoon. He will take random cat naps in between.
- Enjoys sitting in his bumbo.
- Rolls EVERYWHERE. This baby cannot lay still. He rolls left, right, up, down. Multiple times. Across the floor. On the changing table. In his crib. Within a matter of seconds. My days of leaving him laying on the floor and running upstairs for something are no more.
- Squeals, "talks", babbles, tries to imitate your words, constantly.
- Smiles all the time. For pretty much anyone.
-Found his toes and can almost get them in his mouth. Has learned to pull his socks off. So in between getting them kicked off and pulling them off, he probably has his socks off more during the day than he has them on.
- Grabs for your plate/fork/food if he is sitting on your lap while you're eating. A sign he's ready for his own solid food.
- Ate rice cereal for the first time this morning. Didn't love it, didn't hate it either. I'm not quite sure of his opinion on it just yet. Likes his hi-chair though.
- Holds his head really well. Lifts his head up and looks around in his crib, swing, etc.
-Is working on sitting up by himself.
- Impressive eye/hand coordination. He can grab on to anything small you put in front of him and shake it or throw it on the floor. :)
- Loves bath time! He has learned to kick his feet in the water and will do this and squeal the whole time.
- Enjoys listening to stories.
-Loves toys, especially those with lights and sounds.
- He is getting harder to get dressed each day because he is constantly moving/rolling on his changing table. We will probably be moving to the floor pretty soon.
- He will let me rock him, but would much rather just be free to roll around on his own.
- As always, still the best baby ever!
Happy 5 Months My Sweet Boy. Love you bunches!
