Your 5th month has been so much fun! You have the CUTEST personality. You sometimes cry if I leave the room! At first, I thought it was the sweetest thing ever....now it makes it a little harder to get things done :) You are on a very consistent nap schedule. You wake up between 7-8. Play for 2 hours, then you start to get fussy, so I put you back in your sleep suit, rock you for a few minutes, and you are OUT for at least 2 hours! Then we play some more or run errands and you'll take another 2 hour afternoon nap. You also take a shorter evening nap before dinner. I put you to bed around 9:00 and you sleep all night! A couple times this month, you would cry in the middle of the night. I ignore you if I can :) If your cries get louder and longer, I go in your room and put your paci back in your mouth and you always fall back asleep.
These are things I want to remember about your 5th month:
*We go to the doctor tomorrow, so I'll get your official stats then.
*You wore size 2 diapers until last week when they started leaking, so now you are in size 3 Luvs.
*You wore size 2 diapers until last week when they started leaking, so now you are in size 3 Luvs.
*You can still wear some of your 3-6 month size clothes, but you're pretty much in size 6 months and some 6-9 month clothes.
*Size 1 shoes.
*You have 7 ounces of formula at a time.
*You began eating baby oatmeal at 5 1/2 months. At first you had no idea what to do with it, but you have gotten the hang of it now! We'll start purees soon!
*You still drool all the time!
*EVERYTHING goes in your mouth!
*You learned how to sit up by yourself (5 1/2 months) while we were at the beach! You love to sit up now!
*You have an inflatable bathtub where you can sit up. You love to splash and suck on the wash cloth.
*You still spit up a lot. I'm hoping that will ease up once you start eating purees.
"Mommy, no more pictures! Ok, one more...."
"Here ya go! Now are we finished?"
Baby Pearce you are the cutest 5 month old I know. I am so glad Mommy takes so many pictures of you. Today I showed your great-grandmother your pictures and she just loved seeing you. Aunt Ashley and your little cousins are coming down to play with you this weekend and then it is my turn. I wish I could sit in a chair and grab my feet. Maybe you can teach me some baby tricks when I see you. Love and kisses and hugs, Mama and Papa
ReplyDeleteWhat a doll! He gets cuter every month. Happy half birthday, Pearce!
ReplyDeleteHappy 6th months little guy!! Gear up for family pictures! We'll do them soon!
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with Mama & Papa! You are the cutest baby I know, And I know that not a one of us is biased. Mommy needs to keep taking all those pictures and text us "the picture of the day" every day! : )
ReplyDeleteGG misses you, too, and I'm counting the days until I can come back! In the meantime, get Mommy to let you hear my voice on some of the books I recorded for you. I'm curious to know if there is a little glimmer of recognition.
I love you so much!
