Nathan turned 5 months a little over a week ago! It's strange because I feel that he's been with us forever, yet it's only been 5 months. Well, I guess he's been with me longer which might be why it feels longer :)
Here's an update:
Almost crawling. He gets up on hands and knees like I mentioned before and loves to rock back and forth. He doesn't quite understand the concept of moving an arm or knee forward yet but I just know it will happen within the next few weeks.
So hungry! Nathan still has a few bottles during the day/night (around 4 or 5, each with about 7 or 8 ounces though he doesn't finish every bottle each time) but my goodness does he love solid food. By solid I mean mashed up pureed stuff in the jars. He'll eat a whole jar in a day. He always has his solid food meals during our meal times. It's always been important to me to have my family sit down together to eat and talk. I look forward to dinner time since that's when everyone is home (well, my teen isn't always around, but he's here often) and we can talk and share together. I was thinking about taking a class on how to make my own baby food but I might just stick with the jars as Nathan will probably start eating table food soon.
We've tried lots of different brands of jarred stuff and he'll eat just about any brand of fruit or veggies but it seems that he only likes a certain brand for his meat & veggie combos. I bought Mother Hen brand last week but it was just turkey and he didn't care for it. I've discovered that he'll eat almost anything if it's mixed with sweet potatoes!
We're happy that Nathan sleeps through the night now. He slept 12 hours straight last night! He did wake up once, grunted and then blew a razz then went back to sleep. We thought that was funny :) He's been razzing a lot lately which is his way of telling us that he's not happy about something. Of course we have our fun times together where we'll razz back and forth and he just loves it.
That's it for now. Nathan is napping so I'm going to relax while I can. I hope everyone is well!
