Our lil man turned 5 months old today!!! I can't believe how much he has grown and all the new things he is learning. For the first time in his crib last night he kept rolling on to his stomach. To my knowledge he wasn't able to turn back around which is why Steve and I kept running back upstairs to help him out. The only thing that kept creeping through my mind was SIDS and so even at one in the morning when I saw him on his belly I ran up and turned him around. Now obviously I can't continue to do that since it's hindering my sleep, so after discussing it with my sister I am going to let him do it. As she puts it, if he wants to turn on this belly then he wants to sleep on it.
His teeth still haven't made an appearance but at least the pain has subsided a bit, which is great since we can't give him anymore infants Tylenol given the recall. I just looked up our product number and our bottle is on the recall list. Now I wish I hadn't given it to him for an entire week, but he seems fine so I'm not all too worried.
Max is still in love with his feet and holds them every chance he gets. We have been practicing sitting up when I get home from work. He finds it so funny and giggles out loud the entire time. It truly is my favorite part of the day. We have also been practicing holding his own bottle which he has managed to do on several occasions. I still help him out, but he was able to hold it on his own for quite some time which is great.
Steve and I bought a jogging stroller on Craigslist and we love it. We went for our first stroll over the weekend and it was sooo nice. I can't wait to do more of them and start to run together. Max falls asleep in it and seems very comfortable which is also great.
Maxi came to the office to visit me last week and it was sooo nice to see him at work. Everyone thought he was so cute and there was a debate as to who he looked like. I think I won at the office haha Either way Steve and I are loving parenthood and couldn't be happier with our little family. Happy 5 Month munchkin!
Oh what a cutie! I haven't commented in a while, and I realized it's because your updates don't show since your blog is private now. Ah! Sorry!
ReplyDeleteI agree--don't worry about him sleeping on his stomach as long as he's not crying and can keep his head turned to the side. Many babies just prefer to sleep that way. Though, I do understand and share your SIDS concern.
Way to go, Max, with all your milestones!
Thanks Stacia! Yeah they don't show up anymore on the scroll, but I'm glad you still stop on over haha Our little ones are growing so fast!!!!
