Carson: 5 Months

Very curious about our feet

Little man was 5 months old on Tuesday! So hard to believe!! At our last doctor's appointment, they wanted to start keeping track of his growth since he tapered off a little. So Reid and I decided to take him back at 5 months for a weight check and it's a good thing we did...

Newborn: 8lbs 6.3oz and 20.5 in

Two Weeks: 9lbs 1oz and 21in

Two Months: 12lbs 9.5oz and 25 in

Four Months: 13lbs 13oz and 25.5 in

Five Months: 13lbs 11.5oz and 26 in

 

Our doc didn't have a medical concern about him losing weight because he is still growing length wise and basically it boiled down to we think Carson is burning more calories than I can give him. This kid won't sit still no matter where you set him down. Hopefully we can beef him up a bit and he'll be back on track for when we decide to start solids.

 

So back to how much Carson is changing!! Our newest skill we are working on is crawling. While we aren't there quite yet, we sure are working on it. I've also been working with him on sitting up. We borrowed a Bumbo seat and he can tolerate the "tripod" position for 5min at a time. Then we topple :) But the best news for Mom and Dad is that he sleeps 9-11hrs at night now. After a rough month of waking up multiple times at night, we bumped up his bedtime to 7:30p and he's sleeping like a champ. I've got the morning nap mastered and am now working on a little rest in the afternoon. We sure do love this little guy to pieces.
