Blakely-5 months

we have a thumb sucker! 

 look at those legs!


5 months!  Really?!?  How can it be????  I was just at the same hospital that you were born last night. It brought back memories!  My BFF Melissa had baby Cooper on Wednesday and he is SO sweet!  Kinda makes me want another one, ha!  They were in the same room as we were with Blakely too!

I'm not even believing how fast time is going by.  

You are in 3 month and 3-6 month clothing and size 1 diapers.  We will be moving to size 2 soon i'm sure.  

We started rice cereal a couple of weeks ago and you weren't too fond of it so we tried oatmeal and you like it! Just like your brother!  Two nights ago we tried sweet potatoes and you loved them!  Up until then you have been exclusively breastfed.  However, i have had to give you formula the last couple of days.  I just can't make enough to keep up!  You are either hitting a growth sprurt or just now eating what a typical 5 month old would.  I was still feeding you 4 oz every 3-4 hours but yesterday you took 7oz of formula no problem!  So I have started pumping more hoping to increase my supply and storage.  We will be leaving you for the first time overnight next weekend! 

You aren't rolling over but you hate being on your tummy.  You are almost rolling over but get stuck on your arm.  You seem to get bored easily. So I'm constantly moving you around from one place to another.  Santa brought you a jumperoo and I think once your feet can touch the ground you will really love it!  You love to stand up in my lap and bounce.  You are still in the pack and play in our room. We plan to make the transition to crib next month.  You had been sleeping in your boppy/bouncy seat and I just now got you to sleep flat, but you don't sleep as well that way.  You still sleep through the night for the most part and take either one real good nap a day or a few cat naps throughout the day.  I think you will be sitting up on your own very soon as well!  You still ADORE your brother and light up whenever he pays you attention or comes into the room.  You are still a mommas girl! :)

We love you so much!!!!
