5 months

5 months
Sleeping:
The past month has been horrible in regards to his sleeping. He used to sleep at least 10 hours through the night but at 4 months he started rolling over on his belly so I stopped swaddling him and he really loved to be swaddled, so now he wakes up every night usually between 12 and 4 AM to take a bottle and change his diaper.  I am hoping this stops soon! We lay him down awake and he rolls over to sleep on his stomach.
Eating:
4-5 months we started supplementing with formula after every feeding and at 5 months we went to formula exclusively, he is eating 8 ounces 5 times a day and usually another 4 ounces in the middle of the night
We tried cereal and food for a few weeks but he is not really taking to it so I will try again in a few weeks, I don't want him to grow up too fast!
Activity/Mobility:
Rolling consistently from his back to front
Sleeping on stomach
Putting everything in his mouth
Grabbing for faces, toys, anything in front of him
He is not to great at the sitting position (bumbo time) he usually goes board straight and arches his back
He giggles and smiles all the time (when talked to, read to, kissed etc.)
Health/Wellness:
Gained weight, 4 pounds to be exact
He weighs 16 lbs and 11 ounces and is 26.5 inches in height
Still had dry and scaly scalp and dry and itchy behind left ear
Language:
Cooing and Babbling
Events/Outings:
Traveled to Waco and Houston for Christmas
Dedicated at FBC Bryan
Went to The Woodlands for a day of shopping
He has stopped taking his pacifier which is fine by me!
