5 Months Old!

Where does the time go?? My baby is 5 months old already!



A few things I want to remember about Cameron's 5 months of life are:

  • You are wearing size 3 diapers - we prefer Pampers swaddlers! (Side note - I just looked at what I blogged about for Cooper's 5 month info and he was still in size one diapers) maybe it was a typo!
  • You are in 9 month cloths, but still struggling to fit you into 6 month cloths because that's what most of our summer cloths are. Soon it will be fall and we'll be pushing you into 12 month cloths. I think you just need to slow down!

  •  You are always so happy and smiley! You just light up whenever someone talks to you, it doesn't matter if it's the dog, either. Soon you'll be down there rough housing it with him and Cooper.
  • You're a rolling machine! You will be scooting/crawling in no time.
  • You love to sleep on your belly. I will put you down on your back and go in and check on you before I go to bed and you're sound asleep on your belly. 
  • You go to bed around 8:30, if it's much later, you're cranky, so 8:30 if you haven't fallen asleep while eating I will put you in a wake and turn on your sound machine. You love to look at the lights and listen to the music. I went in last night because you were so quiet to make sure you were covered up and there you were just staring at the ceiling. I covered you up and off you went to sleep.
  • You get up anywhere from 5 to 6am, eat then go back to sleep for another hour or so. I'm loving snuggle time in the mornings!
  • Naps are pretty good unless it's noisy then you want to know what's going on. But I'll get at least 2 good naps out of you and then a few short catnaps. 
  • You are exclusively breastfed still. I'm getting this shirt made through a group on Facebook called Lactation Club of Dubuque. Lots of great advice!

  • You love to eat, but you love to eat in peace and quiet and with you brother always trying play and sit on mommy's lap while you eat, you don't seem to eat as much. You are very nosy and want to know what's all the noise??!!
  • You're my chubbers!! I could kiss those sweet cheeks all day long!
  •  We started you on cereal this past week. You're not sure what to do with the spoon but you're figuring it out!
  • You love bathtime and just want to let loose. You kick water every where. I can't wait until you can sit up and play in the tub! You and your brother both love bath night.



  • You love being outside and just checking everything out. Did I mention you're nosy?!?!
  • You are really starting to talk too...cooing that is, you will try and talk and we talk back you juts smile. Melts our hearts.
  • You and Cooper are going to be best buds. Cooper is always asking where you're at if you're not in the same room. Or he'll want to go in your bed with you to give you hugs and kisses, it's just so sweet and I can't wait to see how you two interact with each other. 
Cameron, you are so special to us and I love seeing you're smiling face every day, you just make mommy and daddy's day and everyone else who you are in contact with. I can't wait to see what the next month brings!! Love you buddy!
