Brady is Five Months!

Brady!  February 20 you turned FIVE MONTHS OLD!

You are a big healthy boy, and your nickname is "Tank"  You are SOLID.

Tonight I fed you 6 oz (the norm) and you cried when it was gone, so I fixed you three more... still cried!  I didn't give you any more though!  9 oz is enough!!  I guess it's time to start you on REAL FOOD (ahhhh!!)

This month you have become VERY aware.  You love to watch Macy and smile at her constantly.  You love to put your hands and feet in your mouth.  This month you got your first cold, and it has been pitiful.  The cough seems to bother you the worst.  

You are a joy and your teachers love you at school.  You are the only boy!  Out of 7 babies 5 have a birthday that falls on the 20th of the month.  (Weird huh?!)

You wear a size 3 diaper and 6-12 month clothes.  You still love your paci!

This month we cut your hair AGAIN a little shorter.  (It was a bit too Bruno Mars-y)

You love to "talk" and vocalize often!  

You are a Mommas-boy FOR SURE.  I am the only one who can always calm you down and know what you really need.

The beginning of this month you started sleeping in your own room.  This was hard for me- but is working out ok.  I have read in several places to keep a baby in your room until 6 months old to prevent SIDS.  Well, the pack n play in our bedroom became a HUGE clean laundry collector and you had no place else to go!  (There were 12 loads of laundry in there- it took me 2.5 hours to fold and put away!)

You always have to wear a bib you are CONSTANTLY drooling, although no teeth can be seen yet.

This month you have started sleeping really well.  You still get up about 3 AM to eat (some nights right as I am getting done with work!)

This is the month that we were really noticing Macy's flat head and starting therapy.  Your head is pretty round compared to hers!  It has improved recently.

You mommy, daddy (and now sister, who suddenly realized he was around??) love you so much.  You are SUCH a sweet baby and I can't wait to get you up in the morning and see your smiling face.  

I hope you ALWAYS keep smiling.

LOVE
