5 month post

We are literally having the time of our lives!  Brax continues to grow and develop EVERYDAY and it just gets more and more fun EVERYDAY!

Our sweet 5 month old boy

losing his balance

"oh this is cool"

OOps! 

after bath time

watching his light up aquarium after bath

Here are some things that he is doing:

• He can roll from his back to his tummy going left and right (I know this sounds crazy but when he first started rolling he would only roll to his right but now he goes both ways.)  We are still working on going from tummy to his back though. 
• He is eating two meals a day.  He gets one jar of veggies at lunch and one jar with a bowl of cereal at dinner.  He is eating great!  
• He is taking 7oz in his bottles.
• Still LOVES bath time!  If I had an appropriate video of it I would post it but all of the ones that we have end up showing private areas, haha.  
• We have been working on sitting up.  I have sat him in the boppy and he will do fairly well but he tends to move really spastic and that gets him way off balance and he falls back.  HAHA.  I can get him to straighten his back and balance for like 4-5 seconds but that is about it.  I blame it on there being a LONNNG body to balance. He will get it soon though!  
• He weighs between 17 and 18 pounds according to our scale at home.
• We started putting him in size three diapers a couple of weeks ago because of a severe diaper rash and so he just wears those now. He definitely fits the weight range for size three.  
• Since we have started feeding you the bowl of plain cereal with dinner.... (drum roll please).... you have been sleeping through the night!!!!!  HOOORAY! He used to be a great sleeper at night then he started teething and got an ear infection and it all went down hill from there.  He was ending up in our bed every night because I was SO exhausted and that was the only way I could get him to stay asleep.  
• He just started blowing raspberries and it is SO cute!  

I feel like time is flying and there is no slowing it down.  Braxton continues to grow and progress and it is so bittersweet for this sensitive momma.  HAHA.  I love love love watching him grow and learn new things but I feel like it is all happening WAY too fast.  We enjoy every minute of it and would not trade it for the world!  

Happy 5 month birthday baby boy.  Mommy and Daddy love you to the moon and back.
