On Sunday Master P turned 5 months old! He has been such a joyful addition to our family! There isn't a day that goes by that one of us doesn't comment on his sweet spirit or happy nature. His smiles at strangers and passersby opens our world to so many new people who honestly just want to share in his delight. He is the happiest baby and we are so blessed!
What has he been up to:
- He blows raspberries constantly and cracks himself up
- he babbles non-stop. It took him a little bit longer than Bel to find his voice but now that he has there is no stopping him
- he's rolling like champ
- he is sitting up
- we no longer take the infant seat everywhere as he prefers to be sitting like a big boy. Although if he is sleeping we still use it!
- We've opted out of his 4 month appointment because bringing a healthy baby to a place covered in germs is just too risky. So we are waiting until flu season is over for shots and such. So unofficially he is weighing in at 19.2lbs (87%) and 28 inches long(96%)
- He's wearing mostly 6-12 month clothes except Gymboree wear he is in 3-6month stuff.
- He is still eating constantly and now has at least one bottle and one solid a day as I just cannot keep up with him.
- He is sleeping through the night and goes to be between 8-8:30 and wakes up at 9:30! He is also taking 3 naps a day....2 tiny naps and a longer one in the middle of the afternoon. He is showing signs of dropping the morning nap so we may try that and see how it goes.
- He is held 98% of the day. Thank goodness for a sling! I think we are both just really enjoying him with the idea he is our last, whether or not that turns out to be true...who knows but for now we are treating him as such!
- He loves to swing at the park
- He has been left with his first ever 'sitter' and we are so thankful we have good friends we trust to watch him!
- Pierce is the best thing ever. We've spent the last month marveling at how much he's changed and how fast it has happened! We cannot wait to spend the rest of our lives remembering fondly his baby years!
