Angelo - 5 months

I suppose now that Angelo is almost 6 months old it is time to do his 5 month post! I didn't realize that I never updated it, oops! I am always so busy these days!

AJ at 5 months old (sorry if I repeat from last month....I only have a few min so I don't want to go back and look):

  • 16 lbs 5 oz, 26 inches, and head was 17 in.
  • rolls all over the place
  • smiles so much! All you have to do is look at him and he will smile. He could be screaming and crying and if I just pick him up and talk to him he will be all smiles.
  • eats solids. He HATES peas! I read on a well-known baby food blog that it takes 12 times for a baby to develop a like or dislike for something....well, they never met AJ! He could be SO hungry and if I give him peas he starts gagging and spitting it out! He LOVES bananas, but only the packaged baby food ones. When I mush up a banana he spits it back at me. Oh well, I tried. He pretty much likes everything else we have tried.
  • has 2 teeth (bottom front)
  • I can just tell he is going to be a sweet kid. He is so easy going and lovable! I couldn't have asked for a better baby boy!
  • Saying he love to jump is a serious understatement! He can jump for hours in his jumper and he loves to jump on my lap too!
  • He has been sleeping from around 7 pm-4:30 and then 4:40-7:30. Not too bad. Naps during the day are a real struggle. He just wants to stay up with Caroline. He is such a light sleeper too! So difficult when I have Caroline and Jolina making so much noise. But, AJ is still happy no matter how much sleep he gets! He sleeps best on the go in the stroller or car.
  • He doesn't sleep swaddled anymore. He usually rolls to his belly and sleeps curled up.
  • He finally decided he would take a bottle. He is still breastfed, but it's nice that he will take an occasional bottle.
Love you sweet Angelo!

Jumping is so much work that he fell asleep.
