Month Five…Survived!

Month Five Highlights

Jonah goes from a weight check weigh-in of 12 lbs and length of 23 in at his 4 month appt to a weight of 13 lbs even just before the beginning of his sixth month
Jonah continues to wear 3 month clothes, size 2 dipes and just slipped on some size large smiles
Jonah’s parents start sleep training in month 4. J bird starts to sleep from about 7:00 in the evening until 2 or 3 am. Then again until about 5 or 6 and then wakes for the day, on average, around 7:00
Throughout the fifth month, Jonah’s fussing becomes a bit less and happier times abound! Still loving to be held whenever possible, Jonah is finding more things to smile about…giving us more things to smile about
Jonah continues to be roly poly and enjoys tummy and mat time in small segments
Jonah takes about 4 naps a day. Three 30-40 minute naps and one hour+ snooze, depending on the day
Jonah’s GI intolerance

Month five was smoother, yet again, than its predecessors and I think we’re in a much better place now.
