Famous Baby
Our Photographer from your newborn pictures facebooked me that you would be featured in a magazine titled Chic. We of course had to buy a copy to save for you. You are just the cutest! I cant believe how little you were at just one week old for the photo shoot.
Here is a preview of one of the pages in the magazine:

Five Months Old- Sept 24th
Our little baby is getting bigger and bigger by the day!
--We weighed you and measured you at home: 26.5 inches, 18.5 lbs
--Starting to wear 9 month clothes, they are a little big but some sleepers are tighter.
--Wear size 3 diapers, diapers are starting to get stinky from eating solids! Icky!!
--Eating rice cereal like a pro, the past week day care started to feed it to you in the mornings too so now you eat it twice a day. We usually give it to you around 6pm and then you have a bottle around 7 before bed. You still are drinking bm in bottles 7-8oz around every 4 hours or so..sometimes more.(size 4 nipples)
--We gave you peas on Sunday for the first time, you weren't a fan. We mixed a little with cereal and then you ate them.
--We have been making you lots of baby food and freezing it. We have made peas, green beans, acorn, yellow, and butternut squash, carrots, sweat potatoes and pears. We are going to make some peaches this week too.
--We bought oatmeal and banana cereal for you try next too. You just love eating cereal you cant get enough. You are up to 2 TBSP at a time mixed with BM. We also have been giving you a sippy cup w/o the valve full of water to try and have some of that while eating your cereal. Most will end up all over you and coming out of your mouth haha.
--Bedtime is getting earlier and earlier. You seem to barely make it till 7pm most days. Kinda sad but if we wait any longer you get overtired. Most nights you will fall asleep on your own but a few times you have melted down and weve had to rock you a little bit and then lay you down.
--You still like to sleep on your stomach and you always manage to roll to the back of the edge of the crib and you'll be sucking your thumb and then your other arm is usually stuck hanging out of the crib. haha We constantly will move you to the middle and you always end up there.
--Naps on the weekends are still a struggle..you just typically cat nap 30-45 mins. We have been trying to lay you down in your crib before you get tired..you usually will go to sleep on your own but still wake up after that short amount of time. Sometimes you'll make it an hour or so. You seem to nap for about 3 hours and then another 1 nap at day care. She said she had been swaddling you and putting you in a bouncer. Last week she was trying to get you to sleep out of the bouncer.
--Sleeping has been going better, you seem to sleep through the night for a week or so and then youll go back to waking up and wanting to eat once and right back to bed. You usually sleep from around 7-650ish.. usually you will wake up around 530ish and jabber in your crib and then fall back to sleep.
--You have two white spots on your bottom gums but no teeth yet. You are still drooling like crazy and putting your bib and burp cloths, blankets in your mouth and biting on them.
--You sit up in your high chair to eat and while we eat dinner.
--Love walks in your stroller sitting up like a big boy!
--Reading books has been going better. You like playing peek a boo and patty cake.
--You roll over like crazy. We lay you down and you constantly roll yourself over from side to side and on to your stomach and pull your self up. I think you've forgotten how to roll from your stomach to your back because often times youll cry for us to roll you back to your back and then youll roll back onto your stomach.
--You only really sit up with something behind you. In the swing, stroller you kind of arch forward like you are trying to sit up so it prob wont be long.
--Bathtime-you still like it we switched you over to the infant side and you seem to sit up better that way.
--You are losing more and more of your hair. You've got some crazy hair going on.
--You don't really like your paci that much anymore, which is ok with us. You prefer your thumb or hand.
--Still making sounds and talking up a storm and laughing alot.
--You like to stand up and hold our hands and airplane.
--You love being outside so it will be interesting when its too cold to be out. May have to hit up the mall for walks.
--You like toys that you can put in your mouth, youre getting a little better at your musical jumper. Your feet finally kinda touch the ground so hopefully you'll be able to use this more. We are putting away your bouncer and prob the rock and play. You are getting to big for them. You still like the swing but will lean way over to see where we are or just lean forward. The playmat is a hit or miss..you lately will just roll over and a few times you have rolled over and then fallen asleep. haha
--I am still pumping for you and plan to gradually stop soon. My goal was to make it to have enough for you for six months and I have exceeded that goal. Our deep freezer is full of breastmilk. I was so anxious to be done and now I am struggling stopping haha. I def want to be done by the end of next month when I am in another wedding. It will be nice to say goodbye to the breastpump for a good while. heheh!
--If you are in your swing and were doing things, when we come closer to you you will get so excited and kick your legs and arms and smile to see us. It is the cutest thing ever!! When we are in the kitchen too you will lean way over so that you can see us and keep watching us.

Bath Time
You still love bath time..today we switched you over to the infant side of your bathtub vs the newborn side, which we prob should have done a long time ago. You can kinda sit up more and it stops you from sliding down every minute. It was so funny to see you sitting up like this..you could just see all of your little fat rolls everywhere. bahah. Its hard to scrub all of those. Such a chunky monkey!! hehe
You also made a first time discovery. (You will prob hate me for this post later) but you kept grabbing yourself in the bathtub. You would not stop playing with it over and over..we couldn't help but laugh. It has only begun I'm sure! hehe Silly boy!!!

2nd Anniversary
Tues, Sept 10th
It was our 2nd Anniversary! Crazy to think its been two years already! The time has flown by. We celebrated at home by grilling out and eating dinner with you. We had some wine and dq blizzards for dessert. Mommy got some pretty pink roses from daddy too! We plan to go out to eat for dinner on Thursday while Auntie Dana babysits you.
Here you are eating your Sophie the Giraffe. You wanted us to hold it for you to gnaw on her head. haha

Cereal Update
The past week the rice cereal eating has been going much better. You are eating about 1.5 TBSP of rice cereal now (a little thicker like oatmeal). You get so excited to eat it and the past few days we cant seem to feed it to you fast enough. You just gobble it all down, biting the spoon, and sometimes even start to cry for more. haha I think next time we will buy you the oatmeal kind with bananas. Im wondering when we'll start introducing some veggies to you..maybe 5 months? Im hoping this means you will like food. You have been sleeping through the night every night too. Maybe its keeping you fuller at night? Such a chunky monkey:)
Famous Baby Model
Our photographer that we used for your (week old) new born photos..facebooked us that you were featured in a magazine!! Its a photography magazine called Chic. You are too cute!! We will def be buying the issue to save for you.

Rice Cereal
We gave you your first taste of rice cereal after your 4 month appointment on (Monday, August 26th). It didnt go very well. You screamed and werent having it. I think you were a little over tired and upset from having shots that day. We continued a few more times and it went a little better. We tried putting some in your bottle a few nights but it didnt seem to help you sleep longer or keep you full through the whole night. We put your high chair together over the weekend and tried to feed you cereal again and it did go better. You ate about 1/2 TBS last night without any tears or crying. Hopefully it means you are getting used to the idea. hehe
