5 months old

I feel like 0-3 months is a newborn, 4 months is just a little older than a newborn, but 5 months, thats an actual BABY! I have a very cute 5 month old.

He is so much fun.

Our normal day:
Wake up around 7:45am. He doesn't cry, but he just starts talking and squealing until I come get him. When I finally do (for some reason I'm exhausted every morning), he gets the biggest grin on his face. He is the best feeling in the world. Then, I usually bring him into my bed and I try to get him to sleep a couple more minutes. When I fail at that, we play and laugh, then I feed him [still waiting until 6 mos to do any solids] and change his diaper.  We then get out of bed and I'll put him in the bouncy so I can get some food in me. He is such an angel and can play by himself for a while. Then its about time for his first nap. I change his diaper, feed him again, then give him the binky. Usually I then have to rock him for a little bit and he will get pretty sleepy, then I put him in his bed. Sometimes I can put him in his bassinet and he will go to sleep on his own, but rarely. For each nap and at night he sleeps in our room in the bassinet, I'm not sure when we'll put him in his own room.
He will sleep for about an hour [I like to workout and shower at this point] and wake up. I feed him, change him, then we play, maybe get a bath or listen to music while I eat lunch and he's in his little Bumbo-like seat. Then his next nap is usually like 1-3 hours; that determines if he gets another short nap before bed time. I LOVE the long naps. I miss him but I get so much done.

He has been super good at rolling over lately and loves to do it because Damon and I clap and get super excited when he does, its so fun.

He loves to watch little kids, especially his cousin Aubrey. She is SO cute with him. She likes to point to his eyes, nose, head etc. She's going through the cutest dancing phase and its so fun. Makes me excited for each of Crew's stages as he grows.

He still eats every 3-4 hours at night. When other moms say "yeah he/she's been sleeping through the night since he/she was 3 months old" I get pretty jealous. Someday I'll get a full nights sleep again, someday.
