So now that Scarlet is five months, I have noticed some major changes. She is much more alert and aware. In fact, I have to take her to a quiet dark space to breast feed or she'll pull away constantly and look around/smile/laugh/get totally distracted. It's just easier on her (and on my nipples) if she has as few distractions as possible.
Really holding her head up on her own and occasionally sitting up by herself for a few seconds. I'm always right near by.
Still excellent tummy time without as much fussing (15-20 minutes per day)
Jolly Jumping everyday for max 15 minutes at a time. SHE LOVES THIS!
Still nursing 7-8 times a day although she is much more efficient and can get a lot of milk in a short amount of time.
Unfortunately, her sleeping habits have changed a bit. She will wake up now two times through the night to feed (which is exhausting). We took her out of her swaddle which is a big change for her, and we tried (unsuccessfully) for about a week to sleep train. She just wasn't ready for it and caused a huge fuss. We are taking a break from the sleep training and we'll try again in a few weeks. Nobody was getting any sleep.
Still sleeping in our bedroom in the basinet and in her crib during the day for naps. I'm still not ready for her to be away from me during the night.
Naps two-three times a day 10:00ish, 2:00ish and 5:30ish usually 45 min, 1.5 hours, 1/2hour in the evening.
Smiling and now laughing all the time! This is so wonderful and makes the hard nights much easier
Loving her Mommy and Daddy the best
Cooing, babbling, 'talking' and 'singing' everyday
Gets startled at loud noises and gets scared at certain new faces
Best demeanor ever. She definitely gets this from Nate. She is so chill and easy going. It's so nice to be able to take her out and live MY life while still enjoying her sweet company. LOVE!
I'm taking 5 month pictures today (two days late) so stay tuned for more cuteness!
