5 Months Old!


Happy Five Months Kylie Elyse!  Wow how you've grown!  You definitely have grown faster than your sister did.  You surpassed her at 4 months weighing in at 16 pounds!  Here are some other stats:

Diapers:  Size 3 day and size 3 overnites

Eating: Enfamil Reguline formula about 6-7oz every 3-3.5 hours.  STILL eating a bottle at night!!  She eats approx 29-32 ounces in a day.  She perfers her bottles HOT except at night she doesn't care.  She started solids on 1/1/15!  She started with rice cereal, then oatmeal, squash, peas, sweet potato, carrots, green beans and apples.  She has loved everything so far.  I typically give her a cereal after her first nap and a veggie/fruit after her last nap.

Sleeping:  Ugh. Challenging. It did get better once she decided her belly is where she wants to sleep.  Whenever we put her in the crib she flips to her belly to sleep. 3-4 naps during the day that range from 35 min-2 hours. Usually a total of 2.5-3 hours during the day. Nighttime...sometimes we have a random sleep through the night or even just one wake up to eat.  The last few days have been 3-5 wakeups a night.  McKenzie has been sick so I don't know if she has something too?  We were able to successfully break the rocking sleep association.  She no longer gets rocked to sleep.  And although we brought the pacifier back for a brief time it became a problem again so we got rid of it.  So we are now trying to get rid of the positional sleep association so that she can fall asleep in her crib on her own.  some nights I can put her in the crib as soon as she falls asleep and if she wakes up I can just pat her bum and she goes back to sleep.  Other nights...forget it!!!

Clothing: 6-9 months/9 months...growing like a weed!
