Canaan {5 Months}




Size: weighs 15 pounds, wears 6-9 month clothes, size 2 diapers
Eat: Nurses every 2-3 hours or takes 5 oz bottle of breastmilk
Sleep: Canaan goes to bed at 8/8:30 pm and wakes anywhere from 8-10 am. Sleep has not been as predictable this past month. I thought after his 4 month growth spurt was over we were good to go but we've dealt with some sleep regression these last few weeks. Some nights he would sleep 12-13 hours without waking and then others he would wake once or twice a night wanting to eat. Fortunately he nurses quickly and goes right back to sleep. He has slept great the last couple of nights so hopefully we are getting back to 12-13 hour nights. :) He still naps 2-3 times a day and has been so flexible with the craziness of Christmas by napping on the go. 
Milestones
~Rolled from back to tummy on Dec. 14
~Had his first bite of food on Jan. 1- peas! Didn't love them.
~No more swaddle
~Takes his Paci in and out of his mouth
~Major teething signs- drooling and constantly chewing on fists/fingers
~Sitting up with help
~Found his toes and loves to grab/hold his feet
Likes: jumping in his jumper! I think we have another jumper lover on our hands. Loves playing with toys, being in mama's arms, when big brother talks and plays with him, baths, playing peekaboo- he smiles and laughs and then buries his head and it's my favorite
Dislikes: being away from mama
