Well, I guess I can say I'm a terrible blogger. It's been over 2
months since I last blogged.But I am all wrapped up in my baby boy!We
also moved in august and its been nonstop cleaning, painting, and
unpacking! Greyson is just the most precious gift I could have asked
for. He is now almost 5 months old, around 14 lbs and a very happy boy.
I am still giving him breast milk but I am EP. I also started him on
oatmeal cereal this month which he LOVES. Here are some details about my
boy.
Sleep:
His sleep schedule is a little different but since I am home with him I work on his schedule.
Heres an example
7am (depending on the day) he wakes up eats plays and goes back down around 8
9 am wakes up eats plays and goes back down around 10
11 am wakes up eats plays and goes back down around 12
1 pm wakes up eats plays and goes back down around 2
3 pm wakes up eats plays and goes back down around 4
5 pm wakes up eats plays and goes back down around 6
7 pm wakes up eats plays bath (possibly another bottle) and sleeps for the night by 8:30-9:30
Some
days are better than others. Some mornings he wakes up at 5am hungry
but eats about 2 oz and falls back asleep until 7 or 8am.
Not sure
how I feel about him sleeping for an hour and being up for an hour. If
anyone has any input or advice I'm up for hearing it!
Eating:
His eating schedule I feel is different also
Heres an example:
I pump 9oz around 7am
7 oz around 12 pm
7 oz around 5 pm
9 oz around 11 pm
7am: 5-6 oz
9am: 6 oz(including 2 oz used for cereal)
11am: 3-4 oz
1pm: 3-4 oz
3pm: 3-4
5pm: 3-4
7pm: 6 oz(including 2 oz used for cereal)
9pm: 3 oz
30-32 oz on average (plus 2 cereal meals)
Play time:
so
my 4 month old hates tummy time. Though, he will only sleep on his
belly, hes pretty adamant about not doing it. I usually let him whine it
out a bit because its important that he gets at least a few minutes a
day.
He also seems to get very angry when hes over stimulated.
We have the
O-ball
which he seems to love until he tries to eat, hold look at and rattle
all at once and then, meltdown because it's impossible. He loves his
Raffy giraffe stuffed animal that his aunt Taylor got him and he also likes the
Dr. Browns Ridgee giraffe. So far hes not liking the
Go Gaga teether he can't get a good grip and angle yet. He does like his Ele Elephant
Circo security blanket. The nose makes it easy for him to bite.Also, he likes the
Infantino play mat.
the colors and shapes and animal friends entertain him. The musical
elephant is my favorite, but the monkey is Grey's favorite.
My friend Natalie let me borrow her
Bumbo seat until her little guy can use it. and its awesome!
As
for his nursery, were still trying to find unique pieces to decorate
but so far its pretty cute. I don't have any pictures but I will soon.
Here are some fabulous pictures of my little man:
