Five month stats! (It's time!)

[woodengirl07]

Can you believe we're rolling into month five! Holy moly!

[woodengirl07]

Miss C turned five months on Thursday! We didn't have an appointment so I don't know any exact info, but she's probably about 15lbs. Currently wearing 3-6 month clothes and a size 2 diaper.

She is trying so hard to sit up on her own but hasn't gotten there yet. She loves to grab her feet and put anything she can in her mouth.

Five months is crazy to hear!

woodengirl07, I like how you and I get to alternate who starts the stats each month

DD turned 5 months last week on Wednesday! We also didn't have an appointment, so I don't know her weight, but she is growing! And finally getting some hair! (Although it is super light, so she still looks bald ) She is wearing 3-6 month clothes, but her waist is pretty petite, so unfortunately most pants fall down. Legwarmers are perfect for her right now!

She is really so smiley now and loves to laugh! She laughs at the dog, when DH blows raspberries on her stomach, when I make funny noises, or when my dad speaks in his "Minnie" voice. It is the most adorable sound!! She loves the outdoors and could stare at trees moving for hours. She is getting better at holding things now and loves to pull off my glasses when I'm holding her (no more dangling earrings for me!). Sitting up is her next main goal and she is working hard on conquering it! I'm just amazed every day how much she is learning and figuring out!

titania, my DS pulled off my glasses and dropped them on the floor for the first time the other day! I think I need to get some cheaper glasses...

I have had this pair for forever and was thinking about changing it up... I may need to wait a bit cause I'm pretty sure these won't last the next few months! She is not gentle! 😆

[woodengirl07]

Yup, I've gotten my glasses yanked off a time or two as well!

Ains will be five months tomorrow! She is about 13 pounds and still super short. She will roll over from belly to back once in awhile. She has learned how to blow raspberries. She wears 3-6 month clothes and size 2 diapers. She is grasping at toys and this weekend was obsessed with my wine glass!

My DS was 5 months old yesterday! No official measurements but he's a little peanut and I think he's probably around 14 pounds, wearing mostly 3-6mo but still some 0-3mo clothes and size 2 diapers. He just started rolling back to belly and does it ALL the time, but seems to have forgotten how to roll belly to back so he usually needs help after he gets tired of tummy time. He grasps toys, pulls them to his mouth, and is beginning to pass toys between his hands. He is starting to say consonant sounds, especially maaaa and baaaa. He can usually entertain himself for a while when awake in his crib, which is super-awesome.

DS turned 5 months on Monday; he's coming in at 16.25 lbs and 25.25" He's taking it upon himself to outgrow his clothes the second I have enough to avoid doing laundry for three days. I just can't keep up!

Ds turns 5 months tomorrow. I'm really emotional about this for some reason. Probably because he's turning into a little person with so much personality. He weighs 16.3 pounds and wears 6-9 month clothes and size 3 diapers. He is a chatter box saying multiple consonants. I feel like he repeats hi when I say it to him but I know I'm dreaming. He loves throwing his toys and sticking everything in his mouth. He loves his feet and laying on his side. He has started lifting his tushy like he is preparing to crawl but is not interested in rolling. He is not sleeping at night for more than 2-3 hour chunks.

DD turned 5 months yesterday. I'd say she is between 15-16 pounds, size 3 diapers and 6-12 clothes. She is able to sit up for a limited time especially if big brother is sitting still in front of her and not running around.

I never posted here and now DD is 5.5 months, but bettter late than never! She's 16 pounds, wears 3-6 clothes still and size 2 diapers. She sleeps relatively well at night with 1-2 wake ups and an out herself to sleep,, but is a terrible napper and still catnaps. She's so tired by the end of the day that she's in bed by 6pm, otherwise she loses it. She is still on reflux meds and seeing the GI Dr. She tried solids recently and LOVES them-we've been doing avocado, sweet potato, carrots and green beans. She can sit up unassisted for a minute or so and rolls everywhere. We still haven't gotten a good belly laugh but she smiles a ton. She still spits up constantly! She's very vocal and loves to "talk."

5 months yesterday!

He's chunkifying and so squishy. I'm guessing in the 16-pound range. He was 26 inches at 4 months. He wears 6mo pants but 9mo onesies are a little more comfortable looking.

The good stuff: he SMILES and GIGGLES endlessly. Gahhhhh. He rolls both ways but often likes to stay on his back and scoot around a playmat by lifting his butt. It looks like reverse crawling, and it's hilarious. He also loooooves his sister. She's great with him and likes to entertain him, so I see why.

He does go chill to not chill real fast when he's mad or hungry. He's sensitive to teething. 😒

I'll share a photo if I can get the private board to show up on tapatalk again.

I'm so late on this. DD will be 6 months soon, but I'll leave her 5 month stats here.

She was 5 months on October 24th. She had a doctors appointment a couple weeks later and was 15lbs 8 oz. Size 2 diapers but will be in a size 3 by 6 months. Size 3-6/6 month clothing.

She's always been a smiler, but now she has the absolute cutest giggle. It's probably my favorite thing that she does.

She's not interested in solids, though we started trying them at exactly 5 months. She drools so much that she soaks her shirt, but I don't see any teeth in sight. Her hair is growing like a weed. I cant believe how long it has gotten and I actually had to buy DD her own hair products. She still loves bath time. I've moved from washing her in the bathroom sink to washing her in the baby bath tub (which sits in the larger tub). She kicks her feet nonstop and splashes water all over herself and me. She still doesn't sleep through the night, but she usually gets up once or twice for a bottle and then goes back to sleep. Daycare is going well and she seems to really enjoy being there (she lights up when she sees her teacher in the beginning of the day).

E was 5 months on the 11th. She seems so big now! She has 1 tooth 😓. She's sitting pretty well on her own. She rolls all over the place and is starting to scoot around. She has a super cute giggle and loves to sound like a screech owl. She loves her big sister and it's so cute to see them play together.

No idea on weight. She's in size 2 diapers and 3-6 mo clothing.

Sleep. She's up about every 2 hrs. I think she'd do well with sleep training but I kind of love the 1 on 1 time and snuggles and I'm terrified she'll wake the toddler so I've encouraged bad habits

L and G turned 5 months on Sunday. They are turning into little people!! Not totally sure on weights since no appt this month. They're both in 3-6/6 mo clothes, 6-9 in Gerber. Wearing OS CDs, size 2 sposies at night. They've done well on the sleep front and sttn other than a couple of wake ups that are easily fixed by the pacifier. No teeth for either of them, and we haven't yet introduced solids...probably next month.

L loves to stand and look around the room. She sits like a tripod very well, too. She loves to roll, and now that she can get herself on her belly instead of being placed on it for tummy time it's her favorite! She often practices her screech owl noises on her belly. She is so sweet with her little coy smiles and still loves her pacifier.

G is my little ham. He gives the biggest grins and laughs. All you have to do is glance at him and he smiles. He is also quite the roller and doesn't quite scoot yet but turns himself 180 degrees in the crib every night. He hearts belly sleeping! His core strength is improving and he can tripod for a short time. Still has no interest in putting much weight on his feet. He loves rattly toys and will shake them around like a mad man.

ETA: They also have taken interest in the dog. They love to watch her and reach for her. She's amazing with them and doesn't mind them petting her or grabbing her jowls. It's the sweetest.

DS is 5 months today! 18 lbs 5 oz and I'm going to guess 26 inches or more. We are getting tight in 9 month clothes and are firmly in size 3 diapers. He is loving oatmeal and bananas and is rolling and goes crazy in the jumperoo. We have gotten rid of the swaddle and moved him into his nursery and he's doing fine. He's definitely a side sleeper and is still up 2-3 times a night to nurse or wanting the paci. I'm hoping this gets better. He grabs and reaches for everything. He thinks his brother hung the moon and is all smiles and giggles for him. I love having two boys and love seeing them interact.

DD is five months today! she's between 14 and 15 lbs, 3-6 month clothes and size 2 diapers. She rolls both directions, sits with support and bounces like a madwoman in her jolly jumper. Still no solids yet, and still in her bassinet in our room, though we plan to move to her crib this week.

She's full of smiles, loves looking in the mirror. She's had 2 teeth since just before 4 months and I think more are coming.

[Kevinmac]

DS was five months on the first. He's probably close to 19 pounds. I'm not sure of length. He's in size 3 diapers and wears 6-9 month clothes. He loves to roll over and loves being on his belly to play. His favorites are Sophie, Baby Einstein music player and his jumperoo. Kid loves jumping! No teeth, but he drools like crazy (he always has). He smiles all the time, but he smiles the most in the morning when he wakes up on his own. I love letting him lay there for a few minutes listening to him "talk." His sleep at night is good (knock on wood), but he does not nap consistently. I can't believe how fast time is going!

How is my baby already 5 months?!?
BabyGO is such a good kid. He's still not a good sleeper but he's awesome in every other way. I don't know how much he's grown this month, he seems like a green bean, tall & thin. He's still in some 3 mo stuff, mostly 6 mo & all 6-9 for pjs. He's in size 3 diapers. He sits up on his own for as long as he wants & will go on hands and knees and rock. He loves to stand but we mostly have to help with that. He tried sweet potato this weekend and again today & yesterday and he knows how to work a spoon. He coos and sings but I'm waiting for babbling to start. Still no teeth. Last night a tooth poked through but today it's gone back in.
He has a big personality and loves his Dad and I. He also loves getting tickled by his uncle and auntie, and hanging out with his Grandmother. He's warming up to his Grandpa & Grandad. (Side note I really wish I could see him with my mom. I know she would have been an amazing grandma and she would have been so in love with him.) I'm constantly thinking how much I lucked out to have this kid and to get to be his mom. This time last year I knew I'd be a parent but didn't really know what that meant and I had no idea I'd get to be a parent to this particular amazing little human.

I am totally with you on the seeing him with your mom. I always think of what a wonderful grandma my mom would have been. It especially makes me sad because my MIL isn't always the greatest.
