FIVE Months!!

Age: Five Months

Birthday: January 15, 2013

Weight: 12 pounds 12 ounces

Height: 24 1/2 inches

Sleep: Now sleeping about 8-9 hours straight at night. Occasionally you whine or cry in your sleep, but you are a great sleeper! Nap times, Im lucky anymore if you will take any, but if you do, you take one in the morning around 10 or 11 and then an afternoon one around 3 or 4 and most of the time you sleep for two hours or a little less. We had a few rocky nights where you were awake every hour--must have been that four month sleep regression or the teething. Who exactly knows but you :)

Bedtime: Still the same- 9:30/9:45

Favorite Toy: oh boy, anything that you can really get your hands on at the moment. You LOVE anything that crinkles, playing with your puppy Harley, you love the TV, your toes have become the best toy for you because you never stop sucking on them :) Your new baby I think would have to be the top of the list favorite right now! Your face lits up everytime I give you your baby--its the cutest thing ever!!
