Five Months Old

Davis is sleeping 13-15 hours in a 24 hours period. At the beginning of this month Davis was up more during the night eating every 2-4 1/2 hours but by the end of the month he was back to sleeping through the night (usually 8-11 hours straight). We have him in a good routine in that he goes to bed between 1930-2000 and is up between 0730-0800. One day I will have to write down a typical day for us! Davis eats mostly every 2 hours during the day with one 3 hour stretch for nap time and only an 1 1/2 stretch in the evenings. When he was not sleeping well at night, we did supplement him after feeds but by the end of the month he was only getting one supplement a day before bed. He takes two naps a day, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. The naps can last anywhere from 40 minutes to 2 hours. Here are tidbits about Davis this month:

• Wears 3-6 months clothes (although some are huge!) and size 2 diaper
• Weighs over 13 pounds (not sure of the ounces)
• Laughs spontaneously at Bella or us.
• Finally big enough for the jumparoo
• Starting to notice and play with his feet

• Puts everything in his mouth






• Has several stations between feeds: Exersaucer, gym, tummy time.  bumbo, swing, jumparoo
