Baby Stats:
Weight
17.4 lbs on home scale
Length
??? will get @ 6 month check up.
Sleep
Right after he turned 4 months old, we were gifted the 4 month sleep regression. It only lasted couple days so that was nice. He now goes to bed at 7:15 every night. I still do a dream feed around 9 which I would love to eliminate but he usually wakes up for it so I know I probably can't until we start him on solids. The week leading up to his 5 month mark he didn't wake once during the night. Wakes to have his morning feeding around 6-6:30.
Daily Routine
First feeding is between 6-6:30 am. Goes to daycare around 8. He takes a nap there before his 9:30 feeding. Naps before he eats again at 12:30 and then naps a good chunk of the afternoon and eats again around 3:30. Boys are picked up from daycare at 4:30. We then go home and hang out until I feed Turner dinner at 5:30. I nurse Maddox between 6-6:30. He then gets a bath and is in bed around 7-7:15.
Feeding
Like above, eats every 3 hours and gets bottles during the week while at daycare. Gets 5.5 oz in each bottle. Taking down all his ounces no problem this month. We feel is so ready for solids. We are thinking of doing baby led weaning. Will probably start that in a few days.
Diaper Size
Still rocking cloth diapers during the day and he is in size 3 Honest brand diapers at night.
Clothes Size
He is in 6 month PJ's and mostly 6 month clothes. There are a few 3-6 month size onesies that he fits into but very limited.
Hair Color
His hair is growing at a rapid pace I feel like. It's very brown and the top is longer than the rest which is fun to play with.
Eye Color
Still blue and his lashes are growing so fast. I'm happy to see he is going to have long lashes like my other 2 boys!!!!
Milestones
He has started sitting on his own. Can go for a good amount of time before tumbling over.
Shakes rattles, holds teethers and chews on them like crazy, plays in the jumper like a big boy.
Celebrated his first Thanksgiving.

Turner..he stares at him and watches his every move.
His play mat is a huge hit right now.
Loving his jumper.

Dislikes
Still hates getting stuck in his crib...in the corner because he has scooted all the way over there.
Starting to dislike his swing it seems.
Starting to dislike his paci...only takes it about 50% of the time now.
Mama
Since last month...Tate and I bought some items to make our own gym @ home. Man is this thing the best thing ever. Not only is Tate bringing in extra income from training people @ the house, but it allows me to work out after the kids go to bed and if Tate and I workout together, it's great time together. I wish we would have done this earlier. I'm starting to feel like I am getting my body back. Took longer this time around than with Turner which was expected. I feel like I am ALWAYS hungry...thanks to breastfeeding. Trying to hard to make healthy decisions when I am hungry but something I do grab the bad stuff and then hate myself after. One day at a time is what I keep telling myself. Keep working towards your goal and you will get there.
4 month check up
