Rowan you are FIVE months (one month late)

On March 5th Rowan turned FIVE months old! 









Five month stats:


I think I can say that most of your baby features are gone. You are looking more and more like a little boy every day, and that is bittersweet. You are going to the the cutest boy that I have ever laid eyes on! 



You are eating about four six bottles per day and most days you eat a solid dinner with mom and dad, your favorite are sweet potatoes. You have tried applesauce, bananas, squash, and carrots. You really like the applesauce but it affected your re flux so we have to wait on that one for a while.


As you can see pictures were hard this month! You DO NOT sit still anymore. You have completely master rolling and we cannot leave you unattended on any high surface! You are also trying really hard to sit up. You aren't quite there yet


You are laughing constantly. At first you really only thought that mommy was funny but you are starting to see the humor in others now.


You are still sleeping through the night, usually about 12 hours! Again, I am so amazed and blessed that you do this!! I am so spoiled with lots of sleep! You usually have your last bottle between 7:30 and 8.


Until recently I was rocking you to sleep every night, but since early March we have been just putting you in your crib and letting you go to sleep on your own.. and you have been doing great. Only a little crying. But I have to say I will miss those days of rocking you. You are already to the point that you would rather not be rocked


As EVERYONE points out, yes you are small. Meme calls you a shrimp. You are about 14 lbs now by our weighing method.... Dad weighs himself and then he holds you and weighs and then we do the math! I am not sure how long you are now.


Your favorite thing is still the jumperaoo. You love love love jumping and you laugh and talk the whole time. You are enjoying your own time to roll around on the floor now a lot more also.


I am excited that the summer is approaching so that we can get you a little pool! You love the water and I cant wait to see if you enjoy the swimming pool!


Other things to remember.... you can still comfortably wear most 0-3 month clothes, although they are beginning to get short. You are starting to wear 3-6 month size because that is what I bought you for summer. They are still a bit big though. You are now wearing a size two diaper, although a one still fits. We ran out of ones and had twos on hand so twos it is



You continue to be a constant joy and the light of our lives! I am so happy and blessed to be your mommy!! Love always--Mom and Dad!
