I can not believe that Oliver is 5 months! Oh how he changing almost every day. It amazes me the rate at which babies grow, develop, and learn. Every day I'm more & more thankful for my handsome boy- he is such a happy baby.
- he is becoming independent... he doesn't mind playing alone in his crib with his toys or sleeping alone in his pack n play (kinda makes me sad cause a part of me wants him to cling on to me)
- he used to love being as much as possible but now he is all about being on the floor where he can kick, grab, and roll over
- speaking of rolling over...he has mastered rolling from his back to his belly...he can't figure out how to get from his tummy to his back yet but he's working on it...almost every time he naps or goes to sleep he wakes up on his side or lately, his stomach
- doesn't care for swing any more... but i haven't had the heart to put the swing away yet...he lived in the swing for the first few months.
- loves being his crib- he uses his crib as a play area instead a sleeping area...for now anyway.
- he is sleeping in his pack n play almost the whole night now- sometimes he comes to sleep with us if he wakes up super early in the morning
- hopefully i don't jinx this but i think he is finally sleeping through the night now (not the whole night but most of it)...he goes to bed at 8p, gets up to nurse around midnight and then sleeps until 6a or so. sometimes we go back to bed until 8a on the weekends.
- he grabs everything...all the time.. and it all goes in his mouth (if it reaches that is)
- he really likes his daycare lady, kristine, and the other babies there. every day when i pick him up he's always so content just playing with his toys
- loves being surprised, tickled, sang to, funny faces, funny voices, and just plain ole goofiness
- so far he isn't into books very much...honestly, he usually screams when i read to him so we're lucky to get one or two books in each day- i'm sure that will change over time
- thinks his feet are a pretty cool toy-
- likes standing up
- is practicing sitting up...and does pretty well with support and there have been a couple times that he has sat up on his own (he didn't realize it) while playing with his toys
- sleeps with his glow sea horse..he is definitely attached to it... uses it for all naps & bedtime
- he has had cereal two times...first time he could't swallow it but really liked eating and knew exactly what to do when i put the spoon to his mouth (he opened wide)..the second time we had cereal he swallowed it down! i think he is ready for solids. we're going to try a banana and avocado this weekend.
- likes water, bath time, and swimming-
- is teething...and i think i can see the white spots of his first tooth coming through..he chomps on his pacifier like its dinner and is always putting everything in his mouth to chew on.
