Judah {5 Months}

Size: 14.8 lbs on home scale, size 2 diapers, 6 month clothes 

Eating: had his first taste of rice cereal on Aug. 8. It's the earliest I've ever introduced "food" but thought I'd try because he is constantly reaching for our plates and cups and insists on being at the table with us for meals. He also ALWAYS has his hands in his mouth. He did fine with the spoon but since then I've just been mixing it into a bottle. Still nursing every 2-3 hours during the day. 

Sleeping: This little dude was waking 1-2 times a night to eat (or possibly out of habit) for the last 6 weeks  (helloooo 4 month sleep regression!) but this last week he has slept all the way through the night or just been waking around midnight to eat and then sleeps until 7:30am. The other boys didn't ever do this so we are just riding it out and trying to feed him when necessary at night but also trying to let him cry it out some. He goes to bed at 7:30 ish and besides the night waking usually sleeps until 7:30 am. He takes 3 naps- morning (1.5 hours), lunch, and early afternoon. 

Milestones: no more swaddled babies in my house :(. But he found his belly and has been sleeping/waking up on his tummy since 8/21! Loves to snuggle his lion lovey and holds it near his face to fall asleep. Does great sitting up with a little assistance. He's also found his feet and loves to grab them when he's on his back. 

Likes: his floor play mat, laughing and talking, chewing on his hands, the jumper, toys in his hands, reaching for toys, being with his mommy, any smiling face in front of him, his lovey, being fed. 

Dislikes: still LOATHES the car seat and being in the car. And I mean LOATHES. We've yet to go on any car ride that hasn't involved screaming. Poor guy.
