Sydney Kate, you are FIVE months old!! This month flew by...Thanksgiving, traveling, and getting ready for Christmas...whew! You are such a blessing to daddy and I. We love you so much, sweet girl!
We had so much fun this month! We went to Tulsa for 10 days! We went to your first Affair of the Heart craft show and you were a perfect angel for all 6 hours of shopping! We had Thanksgiving #1 at Eufaula Lake then drove to Shawnee to have Thanksgiving #2 with the other side of the family. You were so cute in your little Thanksgiving outfit. :) Another awesome thing that happened this month was that you met your cousin Ella Kate. She brought you a Sofia the First bracelet for the Kate Club. And I can't forget Tyson, he turned 15 years old on the same day you turned 21 weeks old.
Sydney Kate II 5 Months
This month...
* You love talking with us and it really feels like we're having a conversation. You are so expressive in your talking.
* You have just about mastered sitting up. As long as my feet are around your thighs, you stay up just fine...and I think you really enjoy sitting up as well
* You still love books...you decided you loved putting them in your mouth more so than reading this month.
* Still no teeth, but they've got to be coming soon! You're still drooling like crazy and chewing on everything!!
* You transitioned from your Pack N Play to your crib. It took about a week, but you got used to it pretty quick.
* You have become very inconsistent with your sleeping. You spoiled us with sleeping through the night the first 2 months... most nights you get up once in the night, other nights its 2-3 times.
* You love your bouncer! It's so fun to watch you bounce around in that thing and play with the toys.
* You met Santa twice. You loved him both times...especially his beard!
{3:00am party face}
You are about 14 1/2 pounds by now. You started wearing your 3-6 month clothes this month. They were still pretty big on you at the beginning of the month, but by the end fit you just right! We also moved to size 2 diapers! What a big month of growing and changing sizes!! You continue to drink breast milk during the day and formula at night. Except for weekends or vacations, then we are more breastmilk than formula. I don't know what to say about your sleeping. You have turned into a day by day girl when it comes to that. I tried the sleep training, but your daddy just can't stand hearing you cry and comes to your recuse immediately. We'll figure out this sleeping through the night thing eventually. You prefer to look out if you are being held. (or standing and bouncing) You are so observant and constantly want to check everything out!
A Day in the Life of Sydney (at 5 months)
You wake up around 6:00am each day and come and hang out in mommy and daddy's bed while I get ready. Then we eat and go to your closet and pick out your outfit for the day. We are usually at Ms. Patsy's by 7:30 each morning. You started the month with a morning and afternoon nap, but by the end, you decided you didn't really need that morning nap anymore. You usually eat 12 oz at daycare. I try to pick you up between 4:00-4:30 each day. We play and cuddle when we get home, then go eat. You usually eat about 4 oz around 5-5:30. We moved your bedtime up in hopes you'd sleep a little longer...You now are eating 6oz around 7:00pm, then taking a bath and getting ready for bed. The little change in our night time routine went flawlessly. I now hold and sing to you until you fall asleep (usually less than 5 minutes) then put you in your crib. On average, you're waking up around midnight to eat but then you'll go back to sleep.
We are so thankful for you! No one could've ever warned me how much I would fall in love with you. Seriously, I want to kiss on your face all day long!!! Lucky for you, it looks like you'll have 5 million pictures to remember how cute you are! I don't care...I just can't keep the camera away from you! You're the most beautiful thing I've ever seen!!!
