Yesterday Owen turned 5 months!

Sweet Owen Christopher is 5 months old - gosh where did the time go?! So many things have changed with him, so it's time for a stats/update report:

Stats/Updates:
  • We were at the Peds not quite 2 weeks ago and he was weighing in at 15lbs 8oz
  • He's still on formula only and taking between 4-6oz every 3-4hrs while awake
  • He's been sleeping in his crib since Thanksgiving and will typically fall asleep between 7-8p and will stay asleep until around 2-3am when he wakes up for a feeding, but then goes right back asleep until 5:30-6:30am!
  • He takes between 3-5 naps per day.
  • We're still treating him for reflux but his Zantac dose was increased to .8mL twice a day
  • He's wearing size 6-9 month clothes strictly for the length!
  • He hates all chew toys except for Sophie the Giraffe...and his burp clothes
  • He still loves his swing
  • He has rolled over (from tummy to back) six times now while awake & trying!!
  • He still tends to fall asleep while riding in the car on short car rides but HATES being in the car seat for longer than an hour.
  • He has discovered mirrors and LOVES to look, smile and laugh at them
  • He laughs with tickles, tummy kisses and daddy!
  • He's still in his infant car seat, but we've removed all the positioners from the car seat now.
  • He is getting one juice bottle a day (diluted with half water/half juice) because he's had some constipation problems lately.
  • He LOVES being around other kids and will really watch & pay attention to them - so we go to a play group through our church :)
  • He likes to scratch his fingers & nails on any surface he's on to hear what it sounds like :)
5 months old! He looks just like his daddy!

When ever I held the camera up, Owen put on his curious face :)

What a big guy...sitting up in his chair!

Tummy time on his favorite play blankie :)

Just relaxing

Hi mommy :)

He was kicking his legs so much that he bunched up the blanket, ha!

Sweet little guy

Not quite a smile, but another "look" :)
Notice how his arms are out in every pic so far, ha!?

His favorite squishy block that makes the crinkly noise :)

Love you sweet little boy :) Happy 5 months, Owen!!!!
