I am super late with this months update…I know I have said it before, but I really don't know where the days go. This is even more true now with the little dude being more active and sleeping less during the day…that said the last month has been one of my favourites so far. Watching the little dude change and develop new skills everyday is such a privilege.
This month saw our first roll, which we all got a
little over excited about as they have been few and far between since then.
I get the feeling he has shown us he can do it and therefore 'ticked the
box' and is now ready to move on to other more interesting things! One of
those things being sitting! We had a pretty difficult week towards the
end of the month, where he seemed very out of sorts and I couldn't work out why
and to be honest put it down to teething…but we were soon shown why, the little
dude no longer wanted to lie down as he could sit unaided. The first few
days were a little wobbly, but after some practise he is now a champion sitter!
Coupled with the move to siting seems to be developing preference for sleeping on his side. Both Mr O and I sleep on our sides so I suppose it is only to be expected, but it is a little funny seeing him smoosh his face into the side of the buggy or car seat when he's tired!
We also had our last lot of jabs this month and I couldn't have been more proud of how the little dude dealt with them. He had to have one in each leg and for the first one he just did a funny fake cry (also a new development) and then giggle and for the second one he cried for about 10 seconds and then promptly feel asleep…can't ask for better than that.
In terms on routine things are still pretty much
the same…feeding every 3 or so hours, although in the night this is starting to
stretch (hooray!), 3ish naps a day (the 11.30 nap gets dropped every now and
then), bath time is tending to be a little earlier and we put him straight to
bed now rather than bringing him back into the living room with us which is
much better for everyone.
One of my favourite things this month though has to be all the crazy faces that have been pulled…lots of poking out of the tongue (and of course raspberries), sucking of top or bottom lips and one I like to call the frog!
5 months is a great age…can't wait to see what next
month brings!
We love you more and more everyday little dude x
