Maris is 5 Months Old

 

Maris Monthly Review - Issue 5

• You are shrinking? I do believe you are lighter, or at least more proportionate to your height. According to our scale you are about 15.5 lbs. Guess we'll have to wait for next month's doc visit for the official stats.
• You moved up to size 3 diapers, at the same time that Watson was in size 4s. What the? Firmly in the 3-6 month clothes range.
• Sleeping was pretty great this month. I guess you are over the swaddle-withdrawal finally, and that means some good nights and a few not-so-good. Usually it's 8pm to 8am, some nights straight through. But usually there is some waking up about 5 - 6am. We have to give you the paci and your blankie, and you're usually good to go.
• You are definitely a rollin baby.

• So far you are rolling back and forth with no real change of venue, which is good for me. We have a lot of tiny things to keep off the floor and need a little more time to train the biggers in baby proofing.

 

• Rolling around on the floor is fun, but nothing like the joy you get from the exersaucer. OK, I have no picture of a smiling baby in an exersaucer. But trust me, you do.

 

• And last but not least, the monthly picture of how much Larkin loves Maris. "She's a beauty!"
