Brooklyn is 5 months


Well another month has passed and Miss B is 5 months old now.  She is such a precious part of our family.  She has the sweetest disposition and will generally just go with the flow! I love that about her. She will let anyone hold her and just smiles at everyone.  She is growing like crazy and almost looks bigger every day.  We don't have a check up this month so I don't know her actual stats but I think she weighs around 16ish pounds.  She has the most amazing little dimples.  I just love seeing them when she smiles!

At 5 months:
*she wears size 3 diapers
*she wears mostly size 6 month cloths but still can fit in a few 3 month things
*She nurses every 3 hours during the day and will go one 6-8 hour stretch at night.
*She gets solids a few days a week (when mom remembers).  She has tried bananas, apples, and sweet potatoes and seems to like them all.
*She gets 2 scoops of formula in her bottle of pumped milk before bed at night and that seems to help her sleep a little longer.
*She goes to bed between 7-8 pm then wakes up around 3 am to eat then sleep until around 6 am.  Some days she is up for good at 6 and some days she will go back to sleep until 7-8.
*She now chooses to sleep on her tummy.  I lay her down on her back or side and she always rolls over.
*She still takes 3-4 naps a day but they are all only about 45 mins.
*She still loves her paci but has started sucking her thumb quite a bit so we will see which one wins out as the favorite.
*She started sitting up this month. She is still a little wobbly but can sit up unassisted for minutes at a time.
*She loves playing in the activity bouncer.
*She loves watching her brother and sister and they both love to make her smile!
