Five months has come and gone before the blink of an eye. When
I stop and think about it I can’t help but get a little sad that my daughter will
be six months old in just a few weeks! At five months she has changed so much. She
has started to giggle which is one of the best sounds in the world in my
opinion. She thinks her daddy is really funny especially when he makes farting noises.
She is her father’s daughter! lol She was doing really good at night and
sleeping a good 6 to 7 hours. This month she is back to her routine of getting
up at 3:00 then 6:00. I can’t complain because at least she isn’t getting up
every two hours.
She is on baby food and loves it. She eats about a full jar
every day. She loves all veggies even the beans. She rolls all over the place
and the night time rolling scares me. I don’t like that she finds it more
comfortable on her stomach. Everyone and everywhere I have read say to not let
them sleep on their stomach for the first year, but how are you supposed to
prevent it. Every time we notice we flip her and she will go right back. It is
an endless battle. She is starting to walk in her walker and really wants to
crawl. She has the bounce down, just doesn’t realize that she has to move her
arms in order to crawl.
Unfortunately, with us still living with my parents she now
sleeps in her nursery which also is my mom’s sleeping quarters. She out grew
her bassinet last month and needed to move to her crib. I miss her so much
during the night. I am one of those strange women who miss getting up in the
middle of the night to feed her. That was our time. I am more than ready to be
in our own house so I can set up a real nursery and get into a good routine. Her
schedule is kind all over the place right now. I hope that once we are home and
can get organized her sleeping and eating will go a lot better.
