Carson- 5 months old!

It's hard to believe how quickly babies change!

This month has been quick and of course brought about lots of new things for our baby boy.  Here is what he is up too..

Sleeping:

- We moved him into his crib a few weeks ago.  He has done "well."
-Still swaddled.  He usually gets his arms out during the night but the swaddle seems to help him fall asleep.
- He often flips himself onto his stomach but doesn't like that which leads to screaming.
- He will usually give us one 4-5 hours stretch of sleep at night but the rest of the night is every 3 hours or so.  A typical night might be 7:30 - 11:00-3:30-7:30.  Every night is different though.  Sometimes better, sometime worse.  I generally require him to go at least 4 hours between feedings at night.

-Carson consistently takes 3 naps during the day.  The first two naps are usually 1.5-2.5 hours long and the third is 45-60 minutes.  He is rarely awake longer than 2 hours at a time, with the exception of approximately 3 hours between the 3rd nap and bedtime.

Eating:
-Still nursing exclusively.  He doesn't enjoy bottles at all but will take them if desperate.
-On Prevacid 15 mg a day which controls his reflux well

Development:
 - Rolls well in both directions
-Pushes up onto his arms and can move himself around in a circle (kind of) in an attempt to get toys.
-Can sit up for short periods of time if propped up against something.
-Loves his feet and frequently has his toes in his mouth
-Loves, loves, loves to jump in his bouncer
-Super happy and smiley all.the.time. Wonderful!!
-Very cute giggle!
-Ticklish!
-Loves people and doesn't like being left alone in a room

Carson continues to be a delight!

He is such a wonderful addition to the family!
