5 months old!

Jesse you are 5 months old! 

You are getting so big it’s hard to believe!!!

{Jesse, I have to apologize that so many of your pictures are taken on my phone and not on the actual camera.  I’ll try to do better at actually getting the camera out to document your life!!  ;)  Poor, second baby!}

A few weeks ago you came down with croup and though you’re over it you still have the yucky cough.  And then, just the other day, you came down with another cold.  :( One of these days you’ll be feeling better again (I hope)! 

You are struggling in the napping department.  You will sleep about 20 minutes (sometimes more, sometimes less) and then you think you’re all done napping.  I’m not quite sure what to do with a short napper considering Asher would nap for hours (albeit in his swing!)  :)  I’m not sure if it’s because of your recent sickness, the need for some more sleep training, or just your temperament… but we’re going to work on it!  :)  For the record you are an awesome napper if I will just hold you.  :)  I can’t complain that you’re my snuggly baby, but you really need to nap in your crib (for longer than 5 seconds)!

We haven’t started solid foods yet, probably sometime this coming month!!  You are a good eater and usually nurse 5 times during the day and once at night.  I’m so thankful that you’re basically sleeping through the night (again).  You typically wake up once reeeeeeally early to eat, but go back to sleep until about 7am.  You go to bed between 6-7pm. 

Jesse, you love love love your big brother.  Asher gets the biggest smiles and giggles.  You love to watch Daisy and your favorite is watching Asher and Daisy play together!  You spend your day in your exersaucer, jumperoo, playmat, or in the ergo!  You are happiest when you are around other people or being held. 

You are a sweet, lovable, and precious boy and we love you so so so much!  Happy 5 months, Jess!
