Olivia 5 Months

Olivia- 5 Months

4/23/13

This month has been a difficult one, my dear…. With Daddy in China for 2 full weeks, while you and I both got pink eye and you got ear infection, it was to say the least; a VERY long month.

You did however start rolling from back to belly, every time we put you down, so that’s been fun. Especially since you hate being on your belly.  You don’t roll in your crib, so that’s a plus. 

You finally got a schedule down of eating and sleeping, though it’s not the schedule Mommy wants you on, it’ll have to do.

Just for documentation, here is what your schedule looks like at 5 months:

7:15-wake

8:00am-eat 6oz

9:30am- 10:30am nap

11:00-eat 6oz

1:00 eat 6oz

1:30-2:30pm Nap

3:30-4ish eat 6oz

4:30ish- 5:00 nap

6:15 bath

6:30 bottle and bed.

12:30am- bottle 6 oz

4:00am wake, put back to sleep.

You’re wearing size 3-6m and 6m clothing.  You haven’t had solids yet, though we will try in a week or two.  You’re wearing size 3 diapers and you weigh about 15lbs 8oz.

You have been teething for a couple months now with no sign of teeth coming in, which is no fun.

You had two teeth poke through one right after another this month.  Your bottom front two.  No sign of other teeth though.

You’re very smiley and any time we talk to you, you give us that big toothless grin.  You LOVE watching Adam and he can make you giggle better than any of us.

You’re an awful napper & sleeper, but we’re working on it…. You just want to be held all of the time.  I’m not quite sure what to do about this, but we’ll work through it.
