5 months old

This past month went by way, way to fast. I feel like Cam just turned 4 months and now he's already 5!



What's Cam doing at 5 months old?

Sleeps (typically) from 7:30 p.m. to 6:30 a.m.

Takes 3 naps per day, each 2 hours after he wakes up. The first nap is usually 2+ hours, the second is 1.5 hours and the 3rd is 45 minutes.

SCREAMS the highest pitched scream I've ever heard. Screams every time we walk into his room for a nap.

Is GRUMPY when he's tired. He can go from laughing to screaming in a second when he's ready for bed

Loves his bath, but hates putting his pajamas on afterwards

Wears size 3 diapers

Nurses 4-5 times per day; will start on rice cereal sometime in the next month (he's eyeing our food...)

Rolls both directions (tummy to back and back to tummy) but prefers to cry till you pick him up

Loves to stand up at the ottoman or on our laps

LOVES to jump in the jumperoo and on our laps

Smiles much more now than ever before

Laughs a short, quick "hee" and it takes a lot to make him laugh

Watches his brother like a hawk

Is happiest when he's being held and walked around

Sticks out his tongue when he's concentrating

Has abs of steel and can do "crunches" to about a 45 degree angle (wants to sit up so badly)

Can reach and grab objects with both hands and bring them to his mouth

Drools with the best of 'em

Is spitting up less and less each day... thank goodness!

Is tolerating dairy in my diet better... but I don't want to jinx it

Kisses his mommy- grabs me by the face of the hair and gives me the greatest smooch on the cheek!

LOVES to sit outside

Likes to be thrown in the air; in fact, this makes him laugh more than anything else

Is ticklish on his neck and chest

Babbles a little during the day and much more often when Kaden is at school!

Sucks on his crib sheet or his sleep sack to put himself to sleep

Smiles at himself in the mirror

Likes to be naked

Leans his head in for "badju badju butz" a Yiddish game my Grammie always played with us

Falls alseep in the car when it's close to nap time; wakes up as soon as you try to take him out

Is a total and complete snuggle bug

Happy 5 months, my sweet baby boy!
