5 months








Quinn at five months...

-at 4.5 months you weighed 11 lbs. 4 oz. and were 23 1/4 inches.
-you rolled over from back to tummy once.  but i didn't see it!! i laid you down to change you and went to grab your new swim suit to try on and within those five seconds that i was turned around you had rolled over :(
-you found your feet!  i think it's so cute when you chew on your toes!
-you are now a little jumping bean.  you have some strong little legs that like to go crazy... running, jumping and kicking! 
-you've been sleeping through the night since about 3.5 months but the last week or so you've been waking up in the middle of the night around 3 or 4 am again.  last night you didn't so hopefully we're over that.
-you had your first camping trip to Don Pedro Lake!  you were just so excited to be outside/entertained by everyone all day!  you were a champ! although, you didn't like the water so much... too cold for you.
-you're on a pretty good routine. i try and keep it eat, play, sleep.  nursing every 2.5-3 hours. but you still don't take long naps so i sometimes wait a bit to feed you once you're up.
-awake span is still about two hours (that includes the time you're nursing)... a little less in the mornings and sometimes a little more in the evening.
-you never wake up at the same time each morning.  it's always between 5 and 6:30 am.  so your naps aren't always at the same times each day yet, but hopefully we'll get there soon!
-because you still don't stay awake long and nursing you is not that fun in public, we don't go many places.  if i have to run errands i'll do it fast in between your naps.
-great at grabbing things now! ...including my hair and food :) so fun!
-laughing more and at the most random things.  while we were camping you were laying on our air mattress while i was getting things ready for bed. i wasn't even looking at you, just walking around in the tent, and you started laughing like crazy! haha i was like where did this come from... but i went with it and started being silly to make you laugh more and you kept on going to for a long time.  but then there are times when we try and make you laugh and you just smile and grunt.
-still wearing size 0-3 month clothes and size 1 diapers.
-boy can you you scream. not like crying screaming but more like squealing.  i think you do it more when you're getting tired.  daddy and i just laugh when we hear you over the monitor while you're trying to go to sleep.
-still loves: a warm bath, a pacifier & being swaddled to sleep (won't go down without both), being outside, watching people, when i sing to you in my terrible voice at sleepy time, getting your bum cleaned/being naked, standing, and kisses.
