Man, he is just the cutest thing in the world. My man turned 5 months old October 20th. As you may have noticed, he is sitting up pretty good. He loves his feet. He’s got his two bottom teeth. He has a smile that will light up the room. And, he is a chunky monkey. He can wear 9 months clothes really well – the pants are a little long but not too much at all. He wears 12 months onesies very comfortably. Don’t you just love those leg rolls though!
And, man alive! I’m sitting here looking at Jules’ 6 month pictures and they look identical, only Shook’s cheeks are a bit chubbier, if you can even imagine that….
I mean, she is a little older there but you can definitely see the similarities. Shook is wearing all her Halloween clothes from last year when she was 9 months old and they fit him perfectly.
He is also rolling EVERYWHERE. He actually rolled to where he was half on and half off the Nap Nanny today – talk about scary. Jules never really got into the rolling over so we never had to worry about that with her. He loves it though.
Jules loves him too. Today I picked her up first at daycare (even though I’m not technically supposed to) and she came running out yelling “baby, baby, c’mon, c’mon” and doing her hand motion for c’mon. She took off running/skipping/jumping to his classroom (yelling “Excuse Me” to parents she ran into). She also yanks his hands out of his mouth all the time and says “baby, no, no, baby”. It’s pretty funny. In the car, if he starts fussing, she will say “Shook, shhhhhh, shhhhh”. She kisses him non-stop and pats his little head. She is a sweet big sister.
He is eating close to 4 ounces of food twice a day. I do think he might be a pickier eater than Jules but only time will tell.
Oh! I can’t leave out the best part! He starting sleeping through the night (I’m jinxing myself right now) but 3 nights out of 5 he has slept from 7:30-6:00, at the very least. Last night he slept 7:30-7:00. Sometimes I lay there listening for him to breathe because it is very frightening.
He is just The.Sweetest.Baby.
). And, one side of his head is bigger than the other so we have to keep our eyes out for all of that in the months to come. He also still has reflux and it is affecting his sitting up, etc. because he spits up so much when he is a little hunched over. She suggested we switch to a formula with rice in it already and that feed him more real food – 2 ounces twice per day instead of 1 ounce.
