Crewson is 5 Months

Our sweet little man is 5 months old this weekend! It's hard to believe another month has flown by.  I feel like every day is a new adventure with him.  Our snuggly little baby is now an active, loud baby boy with all that that entails.  His personality is starting to surface and he is already showing us just how active life with this boy is going to be. 

Crewson is the happiest baby first thing in the morning. I love watching him wake up and smile.  He loves to play on his mat and roll around the floor.  He's grabbing at everything including the toys on his exersaucer and the ones that dangle on his chair.  This boy loves to be outdoors.  We laugh because sometimes if he is upset all you have to do is walk outside and he immediately calms down.  

He recently went through his 4 month sleep regression and a phase where he absolutely hated being in the car.  Thankfully he is now sleeping in his crib through the night; thanks to sleep training.  This momma is finally getting to sleep in her own bed and get a full nights sleep.. Hallelujah!  He is also more comfortable in the car now which makes running errands much more pleasant.  

He weighed in at 16 lb 4 oz at his 4 month check up.  He's favoring more football player (short and stocky) than basketball star at this point.  His blue eyes are still baby blue and his hair is finally starting to come in.  We're still waiting to see if he's going to be a blondie or turn a bit darker.  

Big accomplishments this month are rolling all around and pushing up on his knees.  We finally heard his first big laugh and he is beginning to respond to different people's voices and their presence in the room.  There really isn't much that he doesn't enjoy right now.  Seeing the difference that sleep training has made in his demeanor and watching his attitude during the day when he rests better at night has been amazing.  He still nurses like a champ and is beginning solids soon.  

I feel like this month has been the turning point for both he and I. I am settling into my role as stay at home mom and he is getting over some hurdles from when he was a young baby.  He is an absolute joy and I can't wait to see what this next month holds for our family!
