5 months!

My baby is 5 months!!!! 5 months is sooooo fun!

She has really started playing and interacting with us.  Whenever she wakes up, she gives a big smile!  I just love it! 

 

 5 months and feeling cool:

 

Reagan is ready for October!

 

So here are some facts about my Reagie Bear:

 

Eating- Reagan continues to be a champion when it comes to eating.  She's like clockwork.  During the day she eats every 3-3 1/2 hours.  At night she has her dream feed around 10ish and usually she doesn't eat until 5:30-6. 

 

Playing- Reagan LOVES to play!  She continues to love the exersaucer and likes it when we lay a quilt out with a bunch of toys.  It's so cute, whenever she wants a toy she just rolls over towards it.  She also loves to grab things including Daddy's glasses, Mommy's phone, and food. 

 

Tricks/ Discoveries-

Reagan has discovered she has feet!!  She loves to put her feet in her mouth. 

 

She's also started rolling over from back to front and front to back.  It's really cute. 

The other morning we heard this buzzing sound and were both like what is that??  Turns out it was our little Angel Pie.  She has learned to buzz her lips. 

 

 

Sleep-  Reagan's sleeping schedule is awesome 90% of the time.  This past week we tried to cut out the dream feed.  Let's just say she is not ready for that yet!  However, when we give her the dream feed she will sleep the entire night and wake up between 5:15 and 6.  Occasionally, she'll wake up wanting her pacifier.  Usually, we just give her the pacifier, a few pats, and call it good.  She will typically go back to sleep at that point.  

 

Okay I have to brag.... Reagan went to sleep all by herself 3 times today!  She was doing this around 3 months, but once school started it seemed like she would never go to sleep unless we were holding her.  This past week, I tried to make an extra effort to put her in her crib while she was still awake.  Today we had people over so I decided to be brave and put her in her crib when she was still awake, but drowsy.  I went and checked on her 5 minutes later and she was fast asleep!  I was so proud of her! 

 

Alot has happened this past month. She was sick for the first time:(. I took her in for her 4 month check up on a Wednesday and she had a fever and was throwing up. My mom watched her on Thursday and I stayed home on Friday. Being the overly cautious new mom that I am, I took her to the doctor again on Friday. I'm glad I did because my poor baby had Croup. Croup is a nasty cough that sounds like a bark. It can also cause babies to sound wheezy. It was not fun. Jerry was out of town and so it was just me. It is the worst when your kid is sick. It's sooo sad. I'm not going to lie a few tears were shed by both Reagan and I.

That weekend I decided I deserved an entire bag of Nestle Milk Chocolate Morsels. Can you say stress eating :/

 

This month we also found out that there is a full time spot at Miss Lindsi's Learning Center for the spring!!!! Hooray!  I was starting to get a little stressed about this.  We are really happy with Miss Lindsi and Miss Jade and are grateful that she is taken care of by people that truly love her. 

 

Reagan,

These past 5 months have flown by!  You are getting so big and we love watching you develop and grow.  You are so much fun.  We love your sweet smile and fun sounds.  Our lives have definitely changed for the better.  We love you!
