5 months of bob!









physically: he is getting gigantic. my arms are getting more an more sore everyday with how heavy this kid is getting. on thursday we will know his height and weight. that's when his 5 month well appointment is. 

teeth: no teeth yet. but he's chewing on everything, and drooling like crazy. i made sure to stock up on tylenol while at target yesterday. teeth, we are ready for you!

eats: formula as well as some solids now. we started shortly after he turned 4 months giving him different fruit and veggie purees. he is a pretty picky kid. (like his mama). some of his favorites are sweet potatoes, chicken, prunes, apples, and berries. he isn't a fan of peaches or sweet peas though. 

sleeps: really well. a few nights ago we started sleep training. it only took two nights of "crying it out." when i say crying it out ii don't mean that i left him crying in the crib by himself all night. he cried for only a few minutes while i went in every few minutes to sooth him. last night he slept in his crib, alone, for 12 hours. no crying. SO GOOD. he woke up so much happier, and alert. well and so did i. yay for sleep. go bob.

wears: bob is still in 3-6 month clothing. 

loves: eating, and sleeping. the hubs bought bob an activity center to play in which bob loves. he enjoys being on his belly more than anything in the world. he also loves being around other babies. he's finally becoming aware of them, and loves smiling at them.

hates: he still hates having diaper changes, as well as being on his back now that he's discovered how awesome being on the belly is.

vocally:lots and lots of babbling. it's incredibly cute how much he babbles.

this past month has been crazy. we did some going back and forth down to san diego for the hubs work, as well as to see family. we also started sleep training which has been the best decision ever made. we really loved co sleeping, but none of us were getting a full nights rest. now we are able to all sleep comfortably. it's really nice. he slept 12 hours last night! so good. i'm trying to think of what else has been going on, but i haven't had much coffee yet and i have a full day of work ahead of me. i will attach some photos from the past month.
