Conner: 5 Months

Sweet Conner,

This was a big month for us! We made a leap from waking up every 2ish hours to waking up once (sometimes twice). What.a.difference this has made for all of us.

We added cereal this month, and I don't think it's any coincidence that the very night we introduced the thick stuff, you slept from 9pm - 3:30am. It's only been about a week, so I'm treading carefully - but I *think* we may be safely be in a better sleeping routine (at least for now.)

You continue to have the biggest personality - when you're mad, you are MAD. But baby boy, when you are happy, you might be the world's sweetest baby. Huge smiles, belly laughs, and chatting happily to yourself (or whoever will listen) isn't unusual. You don't love any of your baby gear, but when you're in the right mood, you'll lay on the floor playing happily on your play mat for long stretches of time. You've rolled from front to back several times, but I still don't know how controlled it is. And, you rolled from back to front once, and have tried to repeat several times with no luck.

I make a fool of myself regularly in an effort to make you smile and laugh, but it takes Jackson almost zero effort - you are fascinated by him!

You usually take short naps and fight falling asleep during the day, but bed time is a different story. You know the drill, and every night around 7 you're ready to be put in your crib. You fall right to sleep without a single tear.

You're also having no trouble grabbing at things, and getting them to your mouth. You chew on anything and everything, and the drool is nonstop!

Each month is a little bit more fun (and better rested) than the one before it. What an adventure this is, sweet nugget!
