5 Months!

New things this month…

Back to work & daycare!

Jayden has done really good. (Although we have all had a never-ending cold since then…) Most days he sleeps 2-3hours. I had to tell Cathie to start waking him up or he doesn’t go down good in the afternoon. He's had one or two days where he cried a lot after waking from his nap, but he does ok most of the time. Today he never cried once!

However, he will not take a bottle. So he is eating cereal mixed with his milk sometime between 10:30 and noon most days. He eats that really good.

This past week we tried out Oatmeal for the first time – it was a hit! Soon we’ll try the one with banana as well. I’m holding off on anymore real baby food until 6mo.

Right before Thanksgiving I put the bumper pads on the crib again. (I never put them on for Jayden) But he kept waking up crying at night because he would roll or scoot himself into the wood rails and get an arm stuck or just be uncomfortable with his head against the sides. Nights have been much better ever since! He still sleeps on his tummy and sucks his thumb/fingers.

Jayden can push himself up on his arms when on his tummy and scoot himself backwards a little, and he loves to watch Jack! He coos and laughs alot! It is really cute!!! He loves his big brother :) He likes to play in the exersaucer and is staying in it for longer periods of time now.

Jayden is sleeping good. He goes to bed about 8pm and wakes up between 4-5am to eat, then sleeps until 6:30am. His morning nap is usually from 9:15 – 11:15ish at daycare. His afternoon nap is from 1:30 – 3:30ish. He gets a bath every other day, and really likes it!

He likes to hear stories (St Nick brought him a new Sandra Boynton book!)

Jayden is wearing size 3 diapers and 9mo clothes. He is very smiley and happy.

Jack is talking up a storm and loves his brother Jay-day! He is very happy to be back to Cathie’s with his friends Tore & Parker (“Tore-Parker”). He is getting better at being gentle with Jayden and at sharing his toys.

Jayden is nursing well. He eats around 5am, 7:30am, 12:30pm, 1:15pm(sometimes) 3:45pm, 5:45pm and 7:45pm. He gets cereal 3x a day - after breakfast,for lunch at daycare, and after dinner; about 2tbls mixed with 2oz milk.

I finished Jayden’s baby clothes quilt right before Thanksgiving. It turned out really nice.

School is going well. Except I miss playing with my boys in the morning :(
