5 Months (really really late post)

Wow I was really lazy with blogging last month :s before I can post MV's 6month stats I had better post his 5months!

MV turned 5 months on July 26th.

Weight
15.5lbs as per the doctors scales.


Length
27.5 inches. That's a 2 inch difference from his 4 month post.


Hair and Eyes
Aside from having a bit more hair nothing else has changed. Hair is still fairly light on top and slightly darker on the sides. Eyes still are light blue in the middle with an dark outer ring.


Clothing Size
He's still able to fit into 3 month shorts, but everything else is 3-6 or 6 months. It's so frustrating how sizes are not consistent with each store.


Diapers
Size 3's! officially made the switch in size.


Sleep
We've had a few more long stretches but just when I think it's the new norm MV starts waking more frequently again. He spends the first half of the night in his playpen and I switch him back to our bed for feeds usually leaving him with us when he's done.


Eating
No bottles but the sippy cup has been introduced and going well. He prefers water from his sippy cup but will take breast milk occasionally. We really need to encourage this. Rice cereal was introduced a couple days before his 5 month bday.


New Developments

Still no teeth despite obvious teething.

Everything continues to be throughly inspected and then tasted.

Rolling from back to front like a champ, it is getting difficult to change diapers or any other tasks that involve laying on his back. Still can't roll front to back yet.

More hearty laughter :) love that sound.

Exersaucer = poop. Not sure why but does the job every time.

MV had his first swim in a big pool and loved it.

MV is now sitting in the shopping carts like a big boy.

Lots of love for the jolly jumper.
