Thank goodness for iPhones. I haven't had my nice camera out in FOREVER. Poor Leo is getting shafted.
At 5 months Leo is still in size 3 diapers. His 6 month clothes are getting tight! He's eating about 7 oz every 4 hours. He has baby food once or twice a day and LOVES it! He still wakes up sometimes at night for his nuk and usually wants to have another bottle between 4-6 AM. I definitely don't remember feeding Jack or Finn this early of a bottle, but we've been putting Leo to bed earlier than we did with them so that's probably why. Leo has major napping issues. He HATES napping in his crib or the pack n play. But he'll nap in my arms no problem. Yeah, sorry buddy that just isn't going to happen. The other day I had so much to do and he hadn't slept all day long. Both Jack and Finn were napping, so I put Leo in the pack n play downstairs. He literally cried for over an hour. Obviously I was going and checking on him, trying to calm him down, giving him his nuk, rocking him, etc. And he'd doze off and the second I'd set him back down, he'd scream. Ugh, it's so frustrating. I think he's teething too (when aren't they teething their first few years of life...seriously).
He continues to be the happiest baby in the world, despite his sleeping issues. I mean honestly, the day when he didn't sleep one wink all day, he was all smiles when being held or talked to. Seriously, he hates being left alone. He needs to be front and center on all of the action. But in all honestly, the kid is never fussy unless he is tired, over tired or hungry. He might wimpier and whine because he misses his brothers up in his face 24/7, but the kid doesn't fuss. ever. The other night when we were purging some of our toys, Tom was like we should just get rid of all the baby toys. Leo isn't going to need any toys because he has his brothers to keep him occupied. It's true, but I'm still not willing to part with the baby entertainment stuff. Can I just also complain about how much room the baby stuff takes up!?! ahhhhhhh. I'm going to have a party when we give away all of this stuff!
He loves his carseat and usually falls asleep in the car. He's a great companion to take shopping or whatnot, as long as he's been fed. He still isn't a huge fan of tummy time, which is quite annoying since he flips over to his stomach the second you put him on his back. We haven't really worked on the whole sitting up thing. I don't even remember when that happens. Probably in a few months?
With the holidays approaching, and the boys birthday, and a wedding - we are staying quite busy! But it's fun and each year the holiday season seems to get more and more exciting as parents.
I'm excited that tomorrow is Friday!
