Happy 5 Months!


Wyatt...

  • Weighs right at/a little over 16 lbs (per at home measurement), not sure how long he is
  • Wears size 2 and size 3 diapers. We are finishing off the last case of size 2 diapers, and he wears size 3 at night.
  • Is just barely still fitting into his 6 month clothes. He'll be moving into 6-9 month clothes within a couple weeks. *sigh* I was right in last month's post.
  • Sleeps in his crib in his own room now! We moved him out of our room right after he turned 4 months, it was the easiest transition ever. There was nothing to it and he sleeps a whole lot more sound without us coming and going to interrupt him.
  • Has bathtime around 6:30 and goes down between 7:00-7:30, he is slowly stretching it later :) Most nights he has 1 feeding, but here lately he's been sleeping all the way til 5:30. I think he is starting to transition out of needing a night feeding! When he does eat at 5:30 he goes back down for a little bit longer.
  • I am so happy to say that naps are getting much better! In "Healthy Sleep Habits, Healthy Child," Dr. Weissbluth explains that a true morning nap does not develop until 4 months. Sure enough right after he turned 4 months, Wyatt finally started sleeping 1 hour - 1.5 hours for his first nap of the day. This book has been right on for us on everything! Highly recommend it! Then he has a couple more short naps (30-45 minutes), but a long afternoon nap should start developing within a month or 2.
  • Rolls over both ways!
  • Pulls his feet up towards him and plays with them all day.
  • Sits up in his infant play seat all by himself.
  • Stands up in and LOVES his jumparoo!
  • "Tripods" - sits up with his hands out in front of him to hold him up.
  • Has 1 tooth! His bottom, middle, left one... and the right one seems to be working on its way up too! No fun =(
  • Eats baby cereal with his morning bottle! Seems to like it ok, I think we're going to start bananas next week.
  • Loves to reach up and touch our faces, put his hands in our mouth.
  • Holds his bottle.
  • I can't say that he "crawls" but he sure has a way of getting himself around, can't even describe it, lol, but he gets moving.
  • Loves to scoot on his tummy for toys and books that are just out of his reach :)
  • And no one can get that baby laughing like his Daddy can. He loves to play "rough" (both of them, lol), fly around, get thrown around, roll around and "wrestle"... I have a feeling it's only going to get worse :)




(He would much rather feed himself, little Mr. Independent)



hehe

I know I am probably going to say this as he continues to grow, but this is my favorite age so far! We are having so much fun with him <3
