5 months old

 

Age: Five months
Weight: 17.4 lbs
Height: ?
Head: ?
Eye Color: Still blue with a slightly hazelish ring around the center that is leaking into his eyes.  Mostly they are blue though.
Hair: His hair is long on the top and sides and has stayed shorter on the bottom like a mop top. It is brown and feather soft.
Clothes: He is wearing 6 months in most clothes.
Diapers: He is in size 3 diapers.
Milestones: He finally rolled over from his back to his tummy on December 4th!  I was so proud of him. He held his bottle for the first and only time early this month also.
Sleeping: He has started sleeping on his side. It's so weird for me to see him sleeping like this because he looks like a little person instead of a baby. He's growing up so fast! He has been patchy with his sleeping. He will either sleep 8 to 10 hours or he will wake up every few hours. He can be counted on to nap for at least an hour or maybe two sometime between 2 and 4pm. This is the first time I have had a pretty good idea of when he will need a nap. I'm sure it will change though!
Eating: He is still exclusively on breast milk. This is the last month though because I plan on starting him on baby food next month along with continuing to breast feed. I'm hoping that he will get more consistent with his sleeping through the night with a baby food in his belly.
Activities: Logan has started to bounce in his jumparoo. He seems to really like it and will be content jumping and watching the lights and playing with the knobs and buttons for 30 min to an hour. He can roll over from his back to his tummy, but has a hard time getting from his tummy over to his back. He gets frustrated when he rolls over to his tummy in his crib and will put his forehead down and fuss. He still likes his swing and his mamaroo...especially if I put him in front of a cartoon or in the kitchen with me while I cook. It is helpful to be able to do this from time to time so I can get some cleaning or cooking done. He will reach up and grab everything in front of him and immediately it goes into his mouth. He has started chewing on EVERYTHING. He really likes bath time & usually gets a bath every other night. He is getting a lot of new fun toys for Christmas from the family & I can't wait to let him start playing with them! We are working on his balance and he can sit up as long as he is leaning up against something. He likes to be propped up in a sitting position against the boppy pillow. He also likes to watch his cousin Barrett run around and play with toys. You can tell that the boys really love each other...they are sure to be best friends!
