My Bubby is offically a 5 month old!!! What!?!?!?!? If feels like he arrived 5 minutes ago, not 5 months!!!
Momma and Connor meeting for the first time!
My little guy is growing leaps and bounds! Here's a few updates on what is up with Connor at 5 months:
1. My little, or should I say BIG, guy weighs in at 19 pounds and 6 ounces! He such a chunkster! Momma and Daddy are very blessed to have a healthy and thriving baby boy!
2. Connor rolls over (both ways), stands up, sits up on his own ...for a few seconds before falling over ; ), and is starting to like tummy time a little more.
3. My Bubby FINALLY goes to sleep on his own... meaning that we can lay him in his crib and he will go to sleep on his own. Now, this is mostly Mommas fault that we haven't done this unitl now. Momma didn't want to give up her night time cuddle time. It kills me to miss out on rocking my baby to sleep!!!
4. My baby boy melts your heart with his smile. That sounds cheesy, but its true! Literally, it is the CUTEST thing you have ever seen! He also smiles back when you smile at him, squeals, giggles, and (my personal favorite) talks to you! It is so adorable! He babbles to you like he's carrying on a conversation. Hopefully soon I'll get to hear Ma-Ma!
5. Connor LOVES his solid foods! I give him a few spoonfuls of food at suppertime each day. So far he's tried rice cereal, apples, and pears. He thinks they're all pretty great! He even holds the spoon with you the entire time! LOL He's a pretty helpful little guy.
6. Right at 5 month old, we had our first real "health scare" with Connor. We found out three days ago that Connor has RSV, the respiratory virus. Now, here is the shocker... His Momma hasn't freaked out or melted down throughout the entire ordeal! Everyone should be VERY proud of me!!! We all know I can be quite the worry wart when it comes to my little guy! He is on the upward swing of it now, so it looks like he will be all better soon!!! It all started on Friday night. Bubby started coughing, wheezing, and was running a low-grade fever. He couldn't sleep laying down, so we had to put him in his bouncer to sleep upright. The poor thing woke up every two hours choking on mucus. His Daddy and I had to put saline drops in his nose and suction him. We also put a humidifier in the room, which helped. On Saturday morning he was diagnosed with RSV. He is on an antibiotic and we give him breathing treatments with a nebulizer every 8 hours. Needless to say, he is doing MUCH better! We are soooooooooooo thankful that it did not get any worse than it was!!!
7. Lastly, in my "4 month" post I told you about how Bubby has discovered his toes, we they have offically made it to his mouth! That's right! My chunky little boy can get those toes to his mouth and chew on them! He must think they are pretty tasty too, because they are in there a lot!
I'll leave you with a picture of my adorable 5 MONTH OLD...
Without hesitation, I can say that it has been the best 5 months of my life! I didn't have A CLUE what mommyhood would really be like when I was pregnant. It is COMPLETLY different than I ever could have imagined. It is amazing how much you can be consumed by one tiny person and so in love!!! This little boy is my world!
Happy 5 months Connor! You are our world and we love you to the moon and back a thousand times!!! We can't wait to see what all you have in store for us!
XOXO
Love,
Momma and Daddy
