carson : 5 months.

finally getting a chance to do his monthly update.  this one keeps me on my toes!

at five months, carson :

• goes to bed around 7:15p and wakes up around 7a.  he's been waking up two or three times a night for me to put his pacifier in which let's be honest, is a bit annoying.  leighton did this as well and finally snapped out of it after a couple of months.
• is continuing his non-napping ways. in theory he takes two naps a day.  some days he'll sleep only one hour for the entire day.  others he'll take two one hour naps if i'm lucky.  i continue to try and simplify our morning routines to insure that he gets this much needed rest.
• eats five times a day, about every three hours.  unfortunately we're having a feeding issue but we're still sticking with things.
• is starting to like cereal but would rather gum on the spoon if given the choice.
• continues to hate tummy time.  thus he hasn't rolled over.  either way.  it's not that he can't, it's more like he won't.
• isn't a bit fan of his bumbo seat either.
• enjoys his jumperoo the most followed by the exersaucer and playmat – on his back of course.  
• can spin himself around while laying on his back.  he loves grabbing both of his feet and rolling to the side.
• when in his infant seat he pulls up both of his pant legs.  a super hot look, especially as we head into winter.
• has started taking baths in the bath seat with his sister's.  he needs a towel to prop him up a bit but he was way too long to continue baths in the infant bath.
• current nicknames : handsome, handsome pants – both from mama.  buddy, buddy boy – by the girls.
• loves his reflection and gazing at himself in the mirror.

the crazy three that i'm lucky enough to spend every day with.
