Sorry I have been MIA everyone. Things have been crazy with Hayden and just day to day life. I have been thinking about all of you and hoping all is well with everyone.

 

Update on us: Hayden is now 5 months old! It is so hard to believe how big he is getting. He has been eating rice cereal and oatmeal for about a month now and has done really very well with it. This morning, we started him on his first puree, sweet potatoes. He opened his mouth really good and then realized what I was putting in there and procceded to spit it back out at me. LOL! However after a couple of tries, he ate what I gave him. We just started with 1/2 of a container for a few days. So far, he hasn't had any kind of reaction to them so that is awesome!

 

We are working on sitting up and he is doing so great with that. He tripods really well and for a few seconds, can hold himself up without his arms. He has fallen over a few times but I don't make a big deal about it and usually he stops crying right away. We are still not rolling over either direction. We work on tummy time every day and he has come close several times. He will kind of get onto his side and then doesn't flip his leg over. So I am hoping this means he will do it soon. He is meeting the rest of his milestones just fine so I try not to worry too much about it. He is also babbling up a storm. He loves to just talk to himself. He wakes up in the morning and just talks to himself for 5-10 min. before he complains about Mommy not being up yet.

 

We are also back to STTN which I really like. During his growth spurt for the last month, sleeping has been a premium. He was up as many as 6 times a night! I was becoming extrmemly sleep deprived but for the last 3 nights in a row he has not woken up even once! I think we are moving past it which will be great for my sanity and sleeping.  Napping has also become better. In the morning he was only taking a 30 minute nap which made for a crabby baby. Now that we are sleeping better at night, we are also napping better in the morning. He will now nap for 1 hr to 1 1/2 hrs. which has helped his happiness during the day.

 

That is about it for us. I hope everyone is well and I will be trying to be on more and checking up on everyone.

    Glad things r well. Dont worry about the rolling over thing. It usually happens between 4-6 months, so he isnt late. Aiden did it a lot for about a week and to get him to roll is impossible...lol.
