5 Months

Oh sweet Andrew! You have stolen your daddy's and my heart! We are still in awe at how wonderful and precious you are! We are so very, very blessed by you. We can't believe it has been 5 months already.

At 5 months:

~You wear size 3 diapers.

~ Wearing size 3-6 month clothing.

~Wearing size 1 shoes

~Sleeping from 10 pm - 7 am usually

~Eating every 4 hours, drinking 6 oz.Your first bottle is 8 oz because you are STARVING! You are now on formula which has been a challenge to find the correct formula for you because of your reflux. You started with Advance Similac, then went to Sensitive Similac, and now you are on Soy. Your reflux has been much, much better! We also gave you your first bottle of juice yesterday which you gulped down! :-) You love sweets like your mommy.

~Napping.... well we won't discuss this right now. There is definitely room for growth... You hate your naps and fight me right now. On a good day I can get you to take an hour nap in the morning and 30 min in the afternoon. On a very good day, I can get a 2 hour nap in the afternoon. Let's just say you are very cranky in the evenings ;-) But we love you all the same!

~Sleeping in your crib
~ Have discovered Baxter! You like to "pet" him and watch him play. I know he is ready for you two to be best buds!


You went to your first fireworks show.

You went to your first Builders trip.

You started playing in your jumperoo.

You have MASTERED rolling over! You hate to be on your tummy so the minute we put you there, you roll back to your back.

You started going to Mother's Day Out. Each week has a theme. You were the cutest little cowboy!

You are learning how to sit up!

Learning to show us your displeasure!You will also make raspberry sounds now.

Had your first overnight at Gigi's while Mommy and Daddy had a date. Don't worry, you didn't even miss us! You had too much fun being spoiled by Gigi and Pawpaw.

You are in LOVE with your toes!

Little buddy, your daddy and I love you so much! Before I wrote this, I looked back to see what you were doing at 4 months. You have grown up so much! We are so proud of you and your new tricks as Daddy likes to call them! 

We love you!

Mommy and Daddy
