Miles @ 5 months

This boy is growing up so fast. When I was off with Simon, the first 6 months were so hard as I was recovering from a difficult birth and dealing with an undiagnosed thyroid problem which made the days feel endless. With Miles, I have had a pretty easy go of it. I can count on one hand the bad days and as a result, time is just flying by. This month saw an explosion in his skills. At 5 months, Miles:

-is on the last few days of 3-6 month clothing
-has starting waking twice in his night to feed. Thankfully, it's still only once in mine!
-is still sleeping in the vibrating chair - we are total suckers
-goes to bed between 6:00pm and 8:00pm most nights, depending on when his last nap happens
-is happy to be along for the ride, which is good because Simon definitely demands to be the centre of attention
-has a thick head of hair which is still on the darker side
-still has blue/gray/green eyes - I can't wait to see how they end up
-loves to watch his big brother and Brutus
-has just started going in the exersaucer. He loves it as it gives him a better view of the action.
-loves to be facing out, particularly in the Moby where he can kick his legs and check out the action
-is starting to be weaned from the swaddle one arm at a time
-is wearing size 3 diapers
-is rolling both back to tummy and tummy to back
-doesn't sit independently yet - could be because we can never put him down in Simon's war path
-naps after being awake 1-2 hours
-hasn't tried solid foods yet .... we'll probably break out the green beans for Christmas
-is such a wonderful addition to our family
