Say it ain't so....4 and 5 Months

Per usual, I am behind in blogging. Truth be told, I really am not a fan of blogging when I am doing it, but I like it after making a post for memento sake! Today, October 20th, marks Grayson's five month birthday....say what?!!

Where has the time gone?? A little recap of what is going on in his world:
- He still has reflux...wah wah! BUT I hear it is peaking and I can sure tell! I am so READY for him to be over this. However, even though the poor baby hurts from time to time, you would never know it! He is SO happy and has the cutest personality.

Back to Chicago

Chicago - 28th Floor

First time to try rice cereal

- Speaking of personality, he LOVES to laugh and many people call him a little flirt... Ladies, look out!
- He will not stay on his back, he immediately rolls to his tummy, but for some reason is boycotting rolling back over to his tummy. He used to do it all the time and now I think he has only rolled over once this month from tummy to back.
- He just started scooting backwards.... it is very interesting!

What a cutie!

- He naps in his crib. We are working on him going to sleep by himself (aka crying it out from time to time) and staying asleep for longer than 30 minutes. I mean he REALLY is not a napper. But, he does go to bed around 830 and wake up around 8, so I cannot complain.
- He still sleeps in his rock n play (a God sent gift!) because of his reflux. I think it makes him sleep better elevated. Around 6 months, we are going to make the big move to his crib. For now, he is just going to get lots of practice napping there. However, the catch is that we lay him down in his crib and wake him up for his last feeding (well, he actually never really wakes up) around 10/1030 and then move him to his rock n play, so hopefully when we make the big move it will be easy or easier.

Cheering on runners in the Chicago Marathon

- He eats every 3 hours, about 5-6.5 ounces each time.
- He started solids and has had oatmeal, cereal, multi-grain cereal, butternut squash and bananas. So far I am making his food, but I have heard that I should not make some foods due to the chemicals.
- Lastly, my baby boy has a tooth coming in! I discovered one day before he turned 5 months. It makes me cry thinking he is getting so big!
