5 Months!

Our little man is growing up so quickly!

  • He is growing super fast! All of a sudden he has chunky thighs and an even chunkier chin. Apparently he is trying to grow into his head :-)
  • He has decided that feeding would be better with a bottle and has decided that breastfeeding is too much work. And he has also decided to no longer sleep through the night - and gets up twice to either eat or just get snuggles! The snuggles are nice but I'd sure like to get a good night's sleep!
  • We have had a series of very hot days which has caused our house to be extremely hot at night. Which then caused one little boy to get to sleep naked - no jammies and no swaddle. Therefore, he no longer sleeps with a swaddle (which has also not helped the sleeping). 

  • Liam can now roll from his back to his stomach but refuses to roll from his stomach to his back. He now sleeps on his side/stomach. 
  • He loves being outside and around other people. He seems to be a bit of a ham - enjoys the attention. 
  • He is a very easy boy to be put to sleep - naps only take about 5-10 minutes and bedtime about the same. He only naps 30-40 minutes at a time but, for the most part, wakes up happy. I guess you could say, he plays hard and crashes!
  • He is getting very strong and is starting to sit up by himself a bit (not just in the bumbo). 
He's very excited about being able to stand in the bouncer - he gets to be at his sister's eye level.

Callie loves to help out! She will change diapers and constantly ask to feed him. (he is obviously very happy - half asleep)

Rolling and Reading

Callie rolls ALL over the place!!! One of her favorite places to end up is her bookshelf. Look what I found! As a side note, it looks like one of our cats is finally accepting that Callie is part of the family (or atleast, she isn't going anywhere) and has become very tolerant of her. She lets Callie "pet" her and will even walk up to Callie (which, if you know this cat, is VERY unusual - there are some people who still have never seen her). The other day when I was getting Callie from her nap this was outside her door. Apparently the cat loves Callie enough to bring her toys.

Another Plane Ride

So, Callie and I spent my spring break in Pennsylvania. It was a wonderful trip and Callie just LOVED being spoiled by all her aunts and uncles, cousins, and grandmas! (she was a bit in shock when we came back home and she was stuck with just mom and dad - she also took a two hour nap the day we got back, which she has never, never (and probably never will again) done, traveling sure is exhausting!). I was a bit nervous about the very long plane ride, but besides not eating at all, Callie did fabulous! Although, she never really did understand why she couldn't grab the people sitting next to us or in front of us. Even though she got sick on the way back, she was still a wonderful traveler. She loved sitting with Grandma and looking out the plane window (yuck!). We met Grandma in Chicago - at that point in time both Grandma and Callie needed a snuggle, so they spent part of our layover cuddling up in the airport. (sorry, I took these with my cell phone) Looking out the ...

Complete and Total Exhaustion

So, Callie has come down with a case of croup (good ol'daycare) and we had a VERY rough night on Sunday. She was up every 20 mins - hour coughing. Luckily Preston was home and we took turns with her - eventually I ended up sleeping with her in the chair (although she still woke up coughing every hour) because I didn't have to work on Monday. Needless to say, we were not a very exciting family Monday night. We were all in bed by 8 and Callie continued to get up a bit but not nearly as much as the night before. The last time I went in to see her was about 11 - the next thing I knew it was time for me to get up for work. When Preston got up, I made the comment "she slept better than on Sunday" and he just looked at me and laughed. Apparently, she got up a bunch in the middle in the night and I was just too exhausted to realize it. He said I was so out of it that one time I told him it was the rain, not Callie crying.....I'm going to choose my version of the story and...
