Jack 5 Months

This kid just keeps getting cuter! Here are some highlight from this month:
-Sucking and drooling like there's no tomorrow
-Puts his binky in and pulls it back out all by himself
-Lays on the floor for more extended periods of time, watching his sisters play around him
-Favorite toy is his wooden ball web 
-Pulls to standing position when you hold his hands
-Beginning to hold himself up (sort of) in tripod sitting position 
-Wearing size 6 month
-Likes being outside (hadn't really experienced the outdoors prior to these past couple sunny days)
-Has a mostly well-established morning nap now 
-Goes to the nursery at church now!
-Very smiley and giggly with faces
-Grabs and pulls fists of others' hair (and he has 3 great targets around here!!)
-Trying (and usually failing!) to put him down drowsy but still awake so can fall asleep on own
-Finally developed a bedtime (~7 PM)....and then lost it
-Sleep is a bear
-Like really awful, total regression to newborn-type waking patterns kind of bear
-And so we began sleep training (and it too is awful but necessary right now) 
-Has made it 12 hours between feeds at night but has never ever sleeps that long without waking
-No longer sleeps on the go
-Finally rolled over TODAY (front to back - 3/14)
-Getting some rough patches on his skin (our kids and their skin!!)
-Hair is falling out like crazy and he has a mighty bald spot in the back (I spared him a photo!)
-Has had a couple colds this month
-Hates poopy diapers
-Typically rather quiet but gets chatty when excited
-Feeds himself the bottle (or so I am told)
-Literally hugged me after my first shift back at work
I just the way he smiles with his whole body! He's my little man and I adore him so.
