5 Months Old

I know Reed is almost 6 months old and I am finally get the 5 month post done! I have been going non-stop this month and just haven't made time to blog. In fact Daddy had to take these pictures because I was away from Reed for the first time. I had to take a quick trip (33 hours, to be exact) to Dallas for work. My job has kept me very busy this month to say the least. Reed is so much fun and seems to change every day, we love him so much! He was 5 months old on 9/9/09!
At 5 months Reed is....
  • Still eating about every 3 to 3 1/2 hours
  • Still no real nap schedule, he normally gets up around 7 to eat and then goes back down for a nap around 8 to 8:30. His naps range anywhere from 30 mins to a hour or so. He normally is awake for an 1 and 1/2 to 2 hours before taking another nap. Still naps the best laying in his boppy pillow.
  • Still sleeping great through the night. Once a week or so he wakes up in the middle of the night (around 4 to 5) for his paci
  • Going to bed as close to 8 as possible, some nights it is all we can do to get to 8 o'clock. He just crashes around 7, but we hold him off as long as possible to ensure he sleeps until 7.
  • Everything he grabs now, goes straight to his mouth
  • Laughing so much more now, he has the best giggle when we tickle him
  • Loves to bounce in your lap when he is standing or in his jumperoo
  • Reaching out to grab for toys
  • Starting to take his paci out of his mouth and try to put it back in
  • Still wearing 3 to 6 month cloths
  • Wearing size 2 diapers
  • Doing pretty good at trying to hold his own bottle, he gets 2 bottles on the days I work
  • Grabbing his feet all the time now
  • Eating cereal at his 5 o'clock feeding, Reed loves to eat, I think he would eat until he popped.
  • Drinking water or diluted juice from a sippy cup every day
  • Loves bath time
  • Starting to recognize people he knows a lot more (mainly me, Josh and his grandmas)
  • Big news of the month is that Reed rolled over on his 5 month birthday!! However, he rolled from back to tummy and is still not rolling from tummy to back. He gets over and can't get back!
