Every day I feel like Graham has grown. He seems a lot taller then the other kids. I love getting him out of bed everyday and snuggling him.
Graham at 5 months:
*17 lbs 9 oz
*25 in and 3/4 (I think...)
*Loves baby food. So far he is enjoyed sweet potatoes and squash with some rice cereal.
*Thinks his older brother is hilarious and loves to follow him around with his eyes
*rolls over both directions and rotates and maneuvers around everything.
*He only likes to chew on his binky. Sometimes he will take it if he is screaming in the carseat.
*Loves the TV/ screens. The colors catch his eye and he stares
*He will stare at someone until they make eye contact with him
*Loves to smile, especially when someone smiles at him. He was a stubborn smiler in the beginning but he has transformed into one happy boy!
*He loves to chew on things.
*Can't keep shoes on for the life of him.
*Loves any attention. All the time.
*I finally have him sleeping in his crib unless he is eating. Sometimes I fall back asleep and he sleeps with me for a tiny bit but not much.
*Takes 3-4 naps a day. Usually 1 or 2 longer ones. Still loves sleeping in his carseat while we are out.
*Loves the swaddle. After our trip to Disney world this week, we will try and take the swaddle away. He rolls over while being swaddled and ends up face down.
*He usually gives me 4-6 hours in the beginning of the night and then eats every couple hours. We also need to work on that :) I am a push over. But if by chance, he is our last one, then I don't care! He goes down around 8 ( give or take an hour) and sleeps till 7:30 or 8 before waking up for an hour or so.
*Lily likes to share her blanket with Graham and have him smell/eat it. I think she will convert him to be a blanket loving person.
*He loves to talk after naps. Just coos away
*starting to get a little whipsy hairs. Some grow longer then others
*Takes a bottle and is starting to tolerate some formula. (We are leaving him with Grandparents while we go to Universal Studios for a day and I didn't want to bring frozen milk)
*Loves to chew on his toys and fingers.
* I likes to hold his pants or toes
*He is a happy baby as long as he gets his naps and eats. Still mostly on demand, with a little schedule.
*He likes to be upright. Always in the bumbo, high chair or anything. He doesn't like being on the ground very much.
