Happy 5 Months, My Griffers

Stats:
Wait for it.....

A whopping.....

17 lbs. 5 oz.!!!

He is so big and long and chubby and snuggly and lovey. Oh! I just eat him up!

Vax to Date:
DTaP (1)
Prevnar (1)

Eating:

He really isn't a HUGE eater, which is strange since he is so big. I nurse him every 3-4 hours. However, he is still waking 1-2 times at night to eat and it's turning into a bad habit.

Sleeping:

Still not sleeping through the night. He goes to bed around 8:00ish and wakes again around 12:30ish and again early morning, like 6:00ish. We are working on getting him to give up that middle of the night feeding.

We had to do a little Cry it Out when putting him to bed. It has been pretty successful, as now he doesn't fuss but a little when it's night night time. It was getting to the point where as soon as we turned out the lights, he would start fussing in our arms and that let us know that he knew what was going on and perhaps a bit of manipulation was occurring. What? NOT my baby boy!

Naps are pretty consistent, though not ideal. He goes down around 9:00 am and sleeps about 45 minutes, wakes bright and happy though. He goes back down around 12:00 and sleeps another 45 minutes. And his 3rd nap is around 2:30 and he usually sleeps 2-3 hours.

Clothing and Diapers:
Poopy diapers are down to every 2-3 days. Still a size 3 dipe. Clothing size, mostly 6-12 months.

Tidbits:
He has gotten over hating the carseat. He is a trooper now.

Griffin loves, LOVes, LOVES his big sissy. She is so cute and gets right up in his face and baby talks to him and he just adores it. I love watching their sibling dynamic.

He is rolling both directions and already starting to experiment with pulling his legs and knees up under himself. I can't leave him for a minute without him being at least 3 feet away the next minute.

He is babbling up a storm and Ava was excited to run and report to me, he is making the "mmmmm" sound, she swore he said "mama", lol. He also makes the "bbbbbbbb" sound and "ggggggg" sound, along with the "aaaaaah" and "uuuuuuuh" sound.

He likes it when I pretend I'm going to drop him and say "Whoa", he just giggles and giggles. He also likes daddy blowing zerberts on his cheeks and tummy.
