5 month old crawler

This boy is crawling already! He starting to scoot at 4mo, then getting up on all fours and rocking before mo 5. Now at 5 1/2 mo old he belly flop crawls but just today learned how to move his arms and is crawling! Let the games begin!



We LOVE to hear him talk with his "mamama, dadada, bababa, yayaya" He has been rolling over from back to belly since one month and belly to back since 4mo. You can NOT keep this boy on his back for 30sec, changing a diaper is challenging. Tonight I finally had to put him on the floor in between my legs and put my feet/legs over his arms/shoulder to hold him down just long enough to change him!! He can sit up with out support and loves to be sitting up. He barely wants to lean back to take a bottle, ugh. Heaven forbid he might miss something, hmmmm sounds just like his mama when she was a baby! Payback! LOL

Pulled himself up playing in the bucket!

He has been sleeping through the night since 3 mo old. 8pm- 7am average, give or take some off nights or teething!! Think a bottom tooth might sprout up very soon! Takes 6oz bottle about every 3hrs or so. Drinks from a sippy cup & has started on rice cereal and baby foods at 4mo 3wks. =)

He loves to chase after his kitties, Chloe loves up on him as for Zoey she doesn't come close enough for Jayden to yank on her fur or drool over her. LOL. He loves pulling himself up by reaching for your arms if your playing with him on the floor. LOVES to stand & screech in excitement. Finds his reflections in mirrors or oven door in the kitchen. Loves going for walks (mama's been slackin lately). Cries more often than not when you leave a room when he's in his swing. He's like "Hey! I'm over here!" Maybe in a few weeks he'll start to enjoy his brand new Jeep walker that Auntie Julianna bought him last week! He got his first "ride" and it matches Auntie Ju & Mommy's cars! =)



I try to attend a mommy's play group at East Portal park Friday mornings. Sometimes life gets too busy, Jayden's napping or mama's too tired to go. But last week we went and he of course acts like a little ham when we are there. Showing off crawling, sitting, talking...I've only been twice so of course I'm trying to just blend in not stand out! LOL. Jayden differs he was center of attention...oh my I can only imagine what this will look like when he's a little older.


Daddy & Jayden

Did I mention he is completely filling in 12 mo clothes already??!?! OMGeeee sheesh this boy needs to slow down! I am estimating this month (since no doc ck up) that's he's about 20lb and 28.5in?? We'll see how close I am with his 6 mo ck up. =)

Check out these teeth!

4 months

Well it's been awhile since I've posted an update! He's almost 5 months now, next Thursday.

A little about 4 mo old Jayden....

He was 18.5 lb & 27 in long at his check up, that's 90% & 85% percentiles! He's not pushing the charts like he was but he's still up there.

Oh my where do I even start. This boy is so much fun! He can hold his head up completely now, rolls over both ways, scoots across the floor, hold his upper body up with his arms straight out, gets his knees to his chest when on tummy (when he discovers how to both at the same time this boy is gonna take OFF). He plays with his feet, smiles when you smile, laughs like crazy. He enjoys going for long walks in the stroller, recently was able to sit in the shopping cart like a big boy (padded of course). GRABS everything in sight to put it in his mouth. Loves mommy and daddy's phones LOL. Grabs mommy's hair and laughs when it tickles him. Puts his feet up on everything (swing, play mat, play chair, strollers). Prefers to be in a sitting position or standing 80% of the time.

Two weeks ago I started him on rice cereal, he went crazy! Loves it. Getting better and better with being able to move the food to the back of his mouth with out pushing it out, although, he started off pretty well actually. I gave him some bananas the first week and he LOVED it! However, when I introduced some peas he FLIPPED out....gagged twice, jolted, spit it out the whole nine. It was hysterical. I posted the video on facebook. Since he only took 3 bites I opened some carrots, nope not a fan either. LOL. I'll introduce them again in a couple weeks. We'll try some squash or sweet potatoes next. I don't want him to develop a sweet palate for fruits only, gotta eat your veggies Jayden! =)

He's almost down to 3 bottles a day taking 6-8 oz at a time. Which is way less than he has been eating in the past (meaning daily total in ounces, he was pushing 32 oz a day, now 24ish)....3-5 bottles normal for him....

SLEEP OH HOW IVE MISSED YOU! Jayden must have known yesterday was my birthday because he didn't wake up once! Slept from 9-530! The past month almost he has finally been sleeping through the night completely!! =) I coudn't be happier!

Dj is AMAZING with him. Seriously, he wakes up in the early morning with him everyday. I usually take him if he wakes up for a feeding. Jayden ADORES him. His face lights up when he sees Daddy. Snuggles with him, goes to sleep for him when he rocks him. Take his glasses off, reaches to touch his face all the time, it's priceless to see them have such an incredible bond.

Jayden is so much fun, we couldn't be happier =)
