Our little man is 5 months old!!
No stats for this month, but I have high hopes that he is
putting on weight and getting big...Previcid is a blessing!!
Eating: We had a breakthrough in eating this month...Nathan switched to the dissolvable tablet form of Previcid, plus he went on a higher dosage. It has worked wonders!! He is able to keep a lot more food in his tummy and the spitting up has dropped drastically (don't get me wrong, I still wash bibs regularly!). We are still averaging 20-25oz of Elecare formula a day.
Sleeping: Yay, Nathan has continued on with his great sleep habits amongst all the craziness!! His nap times have changed a bit...10:30-1:00 and 3:30-5:30 seems to be the common times now a days.
Playing: What a little explorer Nathan is becoming...he is curious about everything he sees, touches and hears! He rolled over on Thanksgiving, but has only done it a handful since. We call him "Sqirmy Wirmy" since he is so active in your lap or on the changing table. On the floor he wiggles around and ends up in a completely different position than he was laid down in.
5 Month Memories:
- started talking with his mouth closed.
- attended his 1st wedding (Caroline & Dominic DeGorge)...I cried during the mother/son dance!
- took his 1st airplane ride...fell asleep before take off and slept through landing!
- had his 1st cold...runny nose, cough, troubles sleeping :-( And of course it was on Thanksgiving day in Texas.
- rolled from his back to his tummy with the coaxing of Aunt Shanna! (November 30th)
- experienced a 100* temp change from Austin (82*) to Cheyenne (-21*) in less than 24 hours.
- went through a phase of short screaming bouts where nothing worked to calm him.
- cradle cap is so bad that his head is bleeding.
- nuzzles into my neck when he is tired or shy...melts my heart!!
**So, I am WAY late in posting his 5 month update...he is currently doing so much more than this right now...I will blog about it next week for his 6 month update - I promise!!
