Five Months

Hello Five Months!

Baby Stats:
Weight: 17 lbs.  Yep you read that right!  My baby is 17 lbs.  Yikes!

Sleep: Oy vay!  I so wish I could brag and say that Colin is a rockstar sleeper but this is his weakness.  His bedtime is between 9-10pm.  He almost always makes it 5 hours, eats, and then back down for 3.5-4.5 hours and up for the day.  HOWEVER, we did just start using the Magic Sleepsuit and it is magic!  The first night Colin slept 7.5 hours straight!  Oh my word was it amazing!  Naps aren't too regulated around here.  He usually sleeps for an hour in the morning at some point and an hour in the afternoon.  But I'm not strict about when and where he naps.  I like have a little flexibility with it so that weekends aren't a disaster when we are out and about for events or running errands.

Feeding: We started solids and Colin LOVES them!  And we started some organic formula too which he likes!  Colin's morning and bedtime bottle are formula.  He gets 3 bottles during the day with breastmilk and then twice a day he is eating solids.  He tried avocado, sweet potato, butternut squash, banana, green beans, pears, and apples this month.  He liked everything except green beans.  He got tight lipped and refused to eat them.  I'm hoping if we mix them with something, he might like them a bit more.

Diapers: size 2
Clothing: 6-9 month clothes

Sweet baby Colin-

You continue to grow and fill my heart with pure joy.  I'm at a loss of words to try and describe how much I love you.  You are growing so much and have discovered the world around you.  Your little personality is getting big and is sweet as can be.  Your daddy and I rush home to see you when we are gone and we snuggle you to bits when we are together.  Your smile is the best thing in the whole wide world and it melts my heart every time.  I'm so excited for the next month-- I'm sure you will be very busy (sitting up, maybe starting to crawl, and continuing to try new foods)!  I love you to the moon and back and I always will.

With all my love,

Mama
