5 Month Update

Sleep:
Sleep training, probably the hardest thing we have gone threw to date.  Much more traumatic for mama then for baby.  The first night was by far the worst. But after about an hour an a half total you went to seep in your crib, and threw out the night you would wake up and mama would come in and comfort you. Not much sleep that first night.  Second night was much better.  Third night even better as you were sleeping pretty much threw the night without fussing.  On average you sleep from 8pm till 5am so mama can't complain.  We are both getting much more sleep these nights but mama misses you snuggling next to her.
Naps are about 3 times a day, depending on the day your longest is about 2 hours long and the other two can range from 30 minutes to an hour

Feeding:You are still nursing every 4 hours for an hour.  Hopefully this will speed up as you get older. You nurse 4 times a day and no longer nursing at night

Diapers and Clothes: 
Size 1 diapers and 0-3 month clothes. Some 3-6 month summer clothes. Daddy calls you Tinny Dancer.

Personality/Likes/Miscellaneous:
- You rolled over from tummy to back a few days after turning 4 months old and have been doing it constantly ever since
- Standing is your new favorite thing.  You can stand with all your body weight on your legs and think its just wonderful and want mama to help you stand often
-You continue to get more and more talkative.  Hearing yourself yell at a very high pitch is something we hear quite frequently.  Love hearing all the new noises you discover
- Giggling and smiling threw your days, you are just a very happy baby
- Mama's baby blanket has become your favorite also.  I don't think its going to make it threw another generation so its time to get you your own blankee

4 Month Update

Sleep:
At this point you are still sleeping with mommy and daddy but those days are short lived.  Some sleep training is planned for you very soon. You are being evicted from mommy and daddy's bed before you become mobile. 
Naps are about 3 times a day, The morning nap is usually for almost 2 hours in the swing, your other naps are usually about 1 hour in length and spend in your car seat or in mama's arms.   Yes, she is a sucker.

Feeding:You are still nursing every 4 hours with is fantastic.   The only down side is that you sill nurse for an hour.  Hopefully this will speed up as you get older. You nurse 4 times a day and now just nurse at night for comfort and are starting to drop the middle of the night feeding. 

Weight: 
11 lbs 3 oz at the 4 month check up

Length: 
23.5 inches

Diapers and Clothes: 
Size 1 diapers and 0-3 month clothes.  You're our little peanut.

Personality/Likes/Miscellaneous:
- You have discovered your hands and love to put them in your mouth.  Sometimes you have trouble trying to fit both your hand and your pacifier in your mouth and get frustrated
-  You love to smile and giggle, Especially when mama say "I"m gonna get you", or when she says your name and blows on your belly
- Favorite toy by far has to be the helium balloon that Daddy got mommy for valentines day.  Its next to the changing table and you play with it every time you are there
- The TV tends to get your attention, in particular the shows that have bright colors and lots of movement.  How can you be a couch potato already?
