I laid you in there, said go to sleep, kissed you and walked out. I checked the monitor after like 5 minutes and couldnt believe it. I had to come into your room and check. You were asleep! Good job baby!!! This make Mommy so happy!!
I noticed that you move around so much in your sleep, I was thinking this was why you were waking up so much, so 2 nights ago I thought I would take one of your musslin blankets and tuck you in tightly - snug as a bug in a rug - over top of your sleep sack (which is a new one because you outgrew your 0-6 months one). I have noticed a difference. You still wake up a couple times in the night every hour but its no longer an all night thing and the last 2 nights you slept from 5am to 8:30am. This morning you laid in there content just looking around and playing quietly to yourself until after 9.
This is a pic of you all tucked in tightly on your video monitor.
Its good that your sleeping habits are changing. If we keep getting up every hour for too much longer mommy is going to be even more of a gong show. The other day we left the house to go to your Grandma Kathryn's house and when we got there your Dad was pointing at me and laughing, I looked down and couldnt figure out what he was a laughing at. Then Grandma started laughing. I still couldnt figure it out until your dad said... "You have 2 different shoes on"...
I have also done some other things that has made your dad ask - "What is wrong with you?" So baby... please start sleeping better! Today is looking promising!
The other day you rolled over from your back to your front for the first time and it was in your crib. You only lasted a second or two then you rolled back over. Your Dad and Grandpa Ron were here. Mommy missed it, but thats ok. I get lots of firsts. You did that on July 13th.
5 Month Quick Notes:
- You are starting to get quite a bit more hair
- Now that you are eating rice cereal Mommy's stomach needs to get stronger, your poops are pretty bad these days. haha
- Drooling and chewing on things all the time. Always chewing on your hands and arms.
- You also love to chew on Mommys fingers and you eve growl when you are chewing sometimes.
- You are very loud. You LOVE to talk and yell and hear your own voice
- Your 4 month immunization shots barley even affected you. You were sleepy that day and night and then back to normal after that.
You love hanging out with Max! You guys are gonna be besties! Max is only 2 days older than you and you 2 basically do the same things at the same time!
You, Max AND Holt are 3 of a kind. Mommy, Amalia and Nicole all laugh about what you 3 are going to be like when you are old enough to really play.
