Chrissly's 5 month Birthday!!!

Chrissly at 5 months --- October 23, 2011

* Weight: Not sure...did not go to the pediatrician this month
* Length: again not sure
* You wear Size 1 diapers; but we are about to switch you to size 2 diapers
* You wear mostly 3-6 months clothes. However, you are wearing some 6 months clothes too. You are wearing some sleepers during the day (the pj's with the feeties) to stay warm, and you are so long that you are wearing 6 months in those.
* You sleep best on your Boppy. You have been sleeping in Mommy and Daddy's bed recently because Mommy goes through withdrawals from not getting to spend a lot of time with you!!!
* You eat about every 2 hours.
* You usually eat 5-6.5 oz.
* You started eating solids this month!!!! We started you on rice cereal. You are getting much better about keeping the food in your mouth; and we are going to start feeding you vegetables along with the cereal this week.
* We have you sleep in the pj's with the feeties because you will kick and kick until you kick the covers right off; so, to make sure you stay warm we have to have you sleep in the pj's with the long sleeves and feeties.
* You will usually sleep for 8-12 hours every night
* During the day you don't take many naps. Mimi usually gets you to take 2 naps that usually last about 30 minutes. Every once in a while you will take a nap that is a couple hours long :)
* Mommy is working full time and wants to stay home with you badly!!! She misses all her cuddle time with you!!!! She dreams of the day when she can stay at home and be "Super Mom" to you~~~
* You can sit in your Bumbo now, without any help.
* You will also sit in your excersaucer and play. Mommy has to prop you up a little with a blanket or something, but recently you have gotten to where you will now play with the stuff on the sides. You like playing in your saucer and will play for about an hour before you get bored and want a change of place.
* Tuesday, October 25, 2011 was the first day that you rolled over!!! On Monday night, you rolled onto your stomach while you were sleeping and slept that way; but, Tuesday you rolled completely onto your tummy while you were playing at Mimi's.
* You are going to be a tiger for Halloween. Chloe is going to be a lion. Mommy is going to be Jane. Daddy is going to be Tarzan. We will post pictures soon!!!
* You rolled all the way over all by yourself on Tuesday October 25!!!! Such a big girl!!!!

We have not been back to Houston to have your cyst checked. We will be calling the doctor soon to have you checked again; but, it will probably not be for another month.
