5 months

At 5 months you are just over 16 pounds.  

you still have your cheeks and rolls on your arms and thighs.

you sleep consistently 4 naps with 1.5 hr of wake time in between.

all i have to do is sleepsack you, noise machine, blinds and whisper in your ears " sleepytime!" and then place you in the cribs for all naps, every naps.

you sleep on an average of an hour - two hours......sometimes even three.

at night, you sleep now from 8 - 8 with 2-3 feeds still at night.

you try to roll but i think your fat thighs are getting in the way.

you are sitting in the high chair now!

you hardly ever cry now in the car.

you still smiles at me every morning when i come in to get you.

 high 5, super girl!

here is , Jasper at 5 months.
