5 Months

As all Mom's with little ones say, "Time is flying by!"
I can't believe Parker is 5 months (3 days shy) but we went to his well baby yesterday and I wanted to document his weight/height while it is still fresh in my mind!



Weight: 15 lbs 10 oz (25-50th %)
Length: 26" (50-75th %)

*He continues to sleep through the night (goes to bed between 7-7:30 wakes up around 6-6:30, eats then goes back to sleep until around 7:30) A mothers dream! Now I need to get my 2 year old to sleep better....

*LOVES to smile! But especially loves to smile at his big sister and his new favorite is himself! While I am getting ready he gets to sit on the counter in his bumbo and stare away at himself.

*Has yet to roll over, which I am actually okay with! I don't think I can deal with two moving babies yet.

*Coos and talks to you all the time, especially when I am changing his diaper (except when he's hungry, then it's just screams!)

*Loves his little minky blanket. When he is tired and fussy you can just put the blanket up to his face and he snuggles right in.

*Takes 2-3 naps during the day. One quick one early morning, a longer one (2 hours-ish) in the afternoon, and a quick cat nap around 5 (perfect for making dinner!).

*Still super easy going!

*Yes, he's been put in a dress AND has had a headband placed atop his head! But not at the same time and Troy knows about it....he is the one who told me to try the dress on!
The headband was a new style and I wanted to see how 'big' it was on a baby head and the dress was an alteration of the little dresses I have been making. The pattern goes from 12 month to 5T and I had a request for 3-6 months (Hi Lindsay!) so I had to alter the pattern and wanted to see how it turned out....he is definitely too chubby for my 6 month dresses ;)
Sorry, no pics of either!

*Drank water out of a sippy cup without a problem (I am going straight to sippy with him, no bottles this time around!)

*Troy Jr. in looks

*I think he will be keeping his blue eyes like his sister.

*Still spits up like crazy, hopefully after his Dr.s appointment yesterday and him getting an Rx for Zantac the problem will be solved! I hate that every picture we have of him a stinkin' bib is around his neck!

*Ate his first (of many!) solid foods tonight! He loved the rice cereal, which is completely opposite from his big sis Taylor!

Have I mentioned how much I love these kids?

Bentley HATED Zantac. It helped him from hurting/screaming all the time, but did nothing to help the constant spit up. Hope it works better for Parker.

Aw, what a cutie! Hopefully the medicine will work for him soon. I can't wait to see the dresses you are making. And who knew you had such a great model for Olivia's dress?! Thanks so much for making them for me!

He's so handsome. It's amazing to me how quickly they change and all of the sudden grow up. He sounds like such a good little baby.
