5 months old!


Our little baby was five months old a few weeks ago.  He just keeps growing and changing so fast!  Here are some highlights of our five month old baby:


  • Sleep... or lack there of.  This has been a hard month for Evan and us in regards to sleeping.  Napping continues to be no more than 45 minutes, unless momma is holding him and then he can sleep for 2 1/2 hours!  Nighttime went downhill in the middle of september.  Evan started to want to feed more and was waking up numerous times between feeds.  He moved from his rock n play, to an elevated crib, to a more cozy crib with a diaper changing pad, butt support and the bumper brought in to make his crib appear smaller.  I felt like a mad scientist at times... but midway through October, Evan slept in his crib with no other stuff and no elevation last night waking up only at 12:30 and 5 for feedings.  He slept from 7:15 - 6:20 this morning... excellent.  I can take that!
  • Reflux seems to have settled down.  We have taken him off his medication and he seems to be doing just fine.  There are still spit ups everyday, but not every feeding and there is no arching/screaming.  WooHoo!
  • Evan continues to love outside, especially sitting in the stroller without his carseat!  
  • Evan loves all things electronic... remotes, phones, iPads, TV, computer... you name it.  He lunges for it and is mesmerized!
  • Favorite toys include his butterfly/dragonfly, peacock and LOVES his little circle toys: giraffe and zebra!  Loving his excersaucer and some of his toys that light up!
  • Still loves watching and playing with his big brother best!
  • Plays a paci game where someone has the paci and Evan grabs it... he then laughs when you say "who stole mommy/Liam/daddy's paci"!
  •  Is sitting up, still a bit wobbly, but loves it and is starting to support himself with his arms rather than just falling over.  He still likes to lunge from sitting right onto his tummy
  • Is eating cereals, carrots, pears, peaches, green beans and squash.  Loving it!
  • In size 3 diapers, 6-9 clothes
  • Loves making zerbert noises with his lips and other sounds: ga, go, ba, da
We love you Evan!
