5 months

Its 5 months already....we're working on a theme with our sports onesies, Eagles will be next month! Its hard to show off our cute onsies in the winter time.

Its been a crazy month. Its a short month for one and then he was so sick for 2 weeks but he's a trooper. He's getting the hang of the cereal thing, sometimes he eats more than others but he's getting it. At only 5 months there is no hurry.

He's still sleeping well (though I hate to write this, knock on wood!). It varies but the last two nights he's slept from about 8:30pm till after 6:30am. My body is starting to adjust to all that sleep too. At first I was just waking up by 5pm because I wasn't used to getting more than 5-6 or so hours at a time but its really nice! It helps being dark in the morning now too! We often cut down on a feeding if he sleeps late and try to work the times back in which usually happens by the afternoon. We're still trying to get into some kind of nap routine. Generally speaking he takes a half hour to hour nap in the morning (I call it lappy nappy cause he usually gets snuggled on someones lap for that one), one mid day maybe, and then a longer nap, 2-3 hours, in the afternoon, which seems to happen in his swing because he's just not into his crib during the day. He's starting to be able to sit up a little bit, we practice on the bed because he thinks its fun when he falls (and of course its just on our soft down comforter). It will be nice when he can do more on his own and we don't have to switch between 7 different play places for him all day long.

It was so nice last weekend, we finally got some real outdoor time in. Aunt Ellie and the kids came up and we walked down to the pond to see the ducks and fish.

Daddy just practicing for his many fishing trips with baby boy.


Sweater and hat Grandma Diana made, too cute!
