5 Months!

Orion,

This month seemed to be the fastest of them all! I know it is because I am back at work and now juggling work with you and your sister, but still, it just flew by!

You are just one happy little man! You almost always have a smile on your face. If I am ever in a bad mood, I just need to look at you and that smile makes me feel a million times better. I hope you are always this happy and smiley!

You are officially a roller now! You only like to roll though from your back to your stomach. You really don't seem concerned with rolling from your tummy to you back! Which is funny, because all the books say that tummy to back comes first, but what do they know! :) You are also quite the inchworm and can turn yourself to get to toys that you want. You have also started to do some sort of yoga pose where you get up on your hands and on the tips of your toes, almost like a downward dog move! I know soon enough, you will get those knees under you and start crawling!

You are still quite the eater. You still feed every 2.5-3 hours during the day. Though we are working on stretching that to 3 hours. And at night, you go about 5-6 hours for the first stretch and will wake anywhere from 12-2am for first feed and then back up between 3-5am. We will be starting oatmeal this weekend, and I have a feeling you are going to love it!

This was your first full month at daycare as well. You seem to be doing really well there. All the other kids are much older, but you seem to find them entertaining which is good. I brought in your rock n play sleeper for you to sleep in as you did not like their cribs. You have been doing much better ever since!

You continue to be very amused by your sister and she just loves to make you happy! I love watching the two of you together and just know that soon enough, you both will be playing together and conspiring shenanigans!

I love you my little dinosaur or as I usually say, my little man (which your sister now likes to call you as well!). You light up my world and I love you so much!

Love always and forever,

Mommy
