FIVE MONTHS OLD
Orie’s now 18.2 lbs and 25.4 inches. You haven’t gotten much taller but you’ve chunked up a bit. I suspect you’ll have a growth spurt soon.
We switched you to your crib in your own room and that transition went smoothly. Though Mommy is really missing having you nearby, the room is so quiet without you. You are sleeping 11-12 hours straight at night, with the odd night of waking up. During the day, you still prefer 15-30 minute power naps.
You continue to love when your big sisters who act silly just to get as many giggles out of you as possible. Currently, your favourite song is the Gingerbread Man. When anyone sings this it sends you into a fit of laughter. You truly are living up to your middle name of Joy.
Your interest in food has continued, but we’re not starting baby led weaning until next month. This hasn’t stopped Daddy from sneaking you some tastes of different things like ice cream and mashed potatoes.
Going in the car continues to be something you dislike. You hate being in the car seat which makes driving anywhere interesting. Thankfully, we don’t go many places right now. Though, Mommy and Daddy would love to be able to drive places with you without the crying. It instantly breaks mommy’s heart and sends her into tears.
You have a very curious personality, not wanting to miss out on anything. Which has also led to your rolling all over the floor to get to what you want to check out. We have to pay attention because you often roll your way over right under our feet.
