Life has been a little hectic and I haven't been able to post some updates about Miss Charlotte, but the monthly updates are important for me to track so I can remember all of her milestones!
So I'll start off by saying that month 4 was kinda of crazy terrible at times. Between the sleep regression and trying to find ways for Charlotte to entertain herself without becoming completely frustrated we struggled at times.
I'm happy to say that this weekend we turned a corner in both departments. Charlotte has been sleeping much better (including naps!!!) and has been content with just playing by herself, which hasn't happened in quite some time.
Here's what we're looking at for Charlotte at 5 months!
- Typical bedtime is 7 pm, sleeping about 12 hours, getting up once or twice to either eat or have the bink put back in
- Started cereal, but only eating about 10 bites before refusing it
- Still eating about 7 times a day, including 3-4 bottles at day care when she's there
- Napping 2-3 times per day, averaging 30-45 minutes
- Loves anything she can put into her mouth. Literally ANYTHING!
- Favorite toys: A necklace teether my brother bought her, Baby Einstein Activity Saucer, sitting in her highchair playing with whatever is in front of her
- Also loves "boobsicles" haha! I freeze about 1/2-1 oz of breastmilk in a ice cube tray and place in a mesh fresh food feeder. I like to give these to her while I am cooking dinner, although they are messy and sticky!
- We're working on her sitting up, but she prefers to stand. She's also really strong on her forearms, and has been enjoying tummy time a bit more!
