Madison Ashley: 5 Months




You were such a little wiggle worm during your 5 month pictures, that these will have to suffice! Better luck next month! :)

Sorry Madison, I am a few days late with your 5 month post for several reasons:
1) Either you are experiencing a growth spurt, 4 month sleep regression, teething or all of the above so needless to say our lack of sleep these past ten days or so has made it difficult to find the energy to blog. :(

2) You were baptized today (October 18th) at Milden Presbyterian Church in Sharps, VA and thus were in Virginia all weekend for the big event. 

-You had your first pumpkin patch experience and loved touching the pumpkins (you are really into touch these days). You also seemed to enjoy the hayride and just stared contentedly at the scenery the whole ride.

Update: On 10/21 you began sleeping through the night again (our definition is 10-12 hours of continuous sleep)! We are so relieved and happy to have our good sleeper back!!

5 month stats: 
-Weigh approximately 15 pounds (not sure how long you are)
-Still in size 2 diapers (but almost ready for size 3)
-Still can wear some 3-6 month clothing; but filling out most 6 month clothing now
-Are finally able to wear some of the baby moccasins I bought you. You have very small feet!
-Take anywhere from 6-8 ounces half breastmilk/formula every 4 hours generally
-Started you on oatmeal cereal at 4.5 months and after two feeding attempts began to LOVE it! We have been trying to feed you oatmeal cereal twice daily now
-Started you on several solids in the past week and so far you really like apple and sweet potato. I am excited to see what other foods you enjoy.
- I plan to pull out my Baby Brezza this weekend and start putting my culinary skills to work (ha...we will see how it goes)
-Are sitting up and have been for about 2 weeks now. You are still a bit wobbly and can only do it for about 10 minutes at a time; but you are getting better at it.
-This is really nothing new; however, I have to mention how smiley you are most of the time and how much you love to giggle. Oh your giggles are the BEST!

Madison, I know I say this every month, but you are the best thing that ever happened to Mommy and Daddy and we are constantly overwhelmed by the amount of love we have for you! Happy 5 months!
