Five Months Old

Henry Christopher- Five Months Old

Nathan and I can't believe how much you can love someone that you have only known for 5 months! Henry has brought so much joy to our family and we really can't remember what it was like before he was here! When things are going right in Henry's world he is a wonderful baby, but if he is upset- watch out! We've discovered that Henry has quite a temper and he isn't shy about showing it! It is fun as he gets older to see what his little personality is like and how is is similar and different from his older brother. Time seems to be flying and it's hard to believe that he is already this old!

His unofficial weight at 5 months is 16.5lbs

What's Henry up to at 5 months?

• He sleeps from about 6:30pm- 8am every night. For about a week he was getting up around 3am and talking and getting so wound up that he needed a bottle to go back to sleep, but that seems to have worked itself out and he has been sleeping through the night again.
• He eats about 6 times a day- which I guess averages out to about every 2 hours.
• He is eating cereal and tried squash today for the first time.
• He typically naps from about 9:30am- 11am and then again from 1:30pm-3:00pm. Sometimes he takes a little cat nap around 4:30pm.
• He sucks his left thumb to fall asleep and needs his glow seahorse that plays music.
• He loves to look at his hands, play in the activity gym, and the excersaucer.
• He is in size 6-12 month clothes and size 3 diapers.
• He laughs, makes cooing noises, and likes to interact with people.
• He loves the bath and his bottles, but still isn't a big fan of the car seat!
