Caden didn't have any appointments with Dr Holly this month, so once again these measurements were done by us and are approximate :)
Here are some 5 month stats...
- weight-16lbs, 13oz
- height-just over 25"
- diapers- size 2, we'll switch to size 3 when our current box of diapers is gone
- clothes- he can still wear a few 3-6 month onesies, but his pants and pajamas are all 6 month since he's so long
- new skills- he's getting to where he prefers to be vertical instead of horizontal. He's very aware of his surroundings and needs to know what's going on. So, we've started letting him sit in the Bumbo and exersaucer. He is trying to roll from his belly to his back, but hasn't quite mastered it yet. He has strong legs and wants to stand on your lap. He laughs a lot and it's so fun to find things that he thinks are funny. He continues to be very vocal and is making new sounds all the time. He also loves to squeal, usually in restaurants or during the prayer in church :) He has also tried holding his bottle by himself. He's so helpful these days!
- hobbies- he loves reading books. You'll see how intently to stares at the pages in the picture below. He likes to help hold the book and sometimes will turn the page. He enjoys tummy time and holds holds his head and chest up really well. He's still chewing on his hands and drooling, playing with his toys and learning his "word of the day" with daddy :)
- feeding- he seems to be eating about the same as last month. I haven't been pumping as much and he eats quite a bit faster so it's hard to know.
- sleeping- not much change here, he still goes to bed between 8-9pm and gets up once or twice during the night. He loves his food and is afraid of missing a meal :)

Looking like a big boy wearing his Converse. He does not like socks or shoes. I had to snap this picture quick, because the shoes get kicked off in no time.
