Elye Kate at Five Months

Elye Kate, at five months you . . . .

-have gotten into a great nap routine. You take three naps a day. The morning and afternoon naps are around two hours or more(sometimes three) and the late afternoon nap is usually less than an hour.

-you have begun to enjoy your food. You do pretty well with vegetables, excluding peas, but your favorite is cereal with fruit in it.

-are practicing sitting up. You can last about 10 seconds before you topple over.

-are done with the Bumbo. Since you are constantly arching your back to get out we have moved onto the high chair.

-are not sleeping through the night. We have been working on it and I have been putting off this post hoping that I could say that you were. You have slept through the night one time (7:30-6:30) on your own and will go until about 5:30 sometimes, but you still like to try to convince me that you need to eat at some point in the night.

-are, sadly, losing your hair, but only on the sides.

-are grabbing everything in your reach and putting it in your mouth. Your favorite thing to chew on is your clothes.

-love your bouncer.

-are a major drool monster.

-just might be the cutest baby in the world, well, at least in Tennessee.
