My Little Bear turned 5 months old today! I know I've said this many times before, but where does the time go? I weighed him today and he is 14lbs 14 oz. We've decided that out of all our babies, he is the happiest and gives away the most smiles. Any time you talk to him he has the biggest smiles for you. It is hard to walk away from him when he is giving you the big smiles, stops most people in their tracks. He is still only rolling from front to back, which has made naptime and bedtime more challenging. We started bundeling him again to help him sleep better. It works some of the time. This week I have started to let him cry it out during the night in attempt to get a good 6-7 hour stretch out of him. It has been working out pretty good. He still wakes up after 3 hours, the first night crying for 30 minutes and the last couple of nights just waking and crying for less than 5 minutes. So now if I can get him to stop waking up in between, it will be fantastic to get a good stretch of sleep. He is working on sitting up a little bit, but most of the time ends up bent in half.
Riley and Bailey have been enjoying the warmer days playing out back on the patio. I have to keep a close eye on them because then tend to wander and we have lots of space for them to wander to. Riley just finished up his first wrestling season and is now on to Judo with daddy out in the Dojo. He is still a little young for it to keep his attention, but Rob said he is a quick learner. It has been an interesting week with Bailey so far and no B. We had her throw her last B aka binki away on Saturday morning after I discovered she had bit a hole in it. She still asks for it everytime it is time for nap or bed, but doesn't put up too much of a fuss. The hard part has been getting her to stay in bed this week. She keeps getting up out of bed multiple times with little care to the consequence. Not sure what to do about this.
As for Rob and I we are gearing up for the projects that spring time brings like our garden and for Rob the list of other things to do around here always seems long. He has been able to get some motorcycle riding in too, dirt bike for those of you wondering. He is looking forward to some fun with that this summer. Well, the little one is calling my name or I should say crying my name! I will hopefully get back here to load up some pics later tonight.
First time in exersaucer and enjoying the sunshine- 4/3/12
