What is our 5 month old up to? Well, he celebrated turning 5 months old by sleeping all the way through the night FOR THE FIRST TIME!!! 7:30 PM - 6:30 AM...it was miraculous. Alas, I think it was mostly due to him having zero nap time during vacation and just being too exhausted to wake up for his usual 4 AM snack break - he has yet to repeat it. But it gives us hope!
He can sit for short periods of time now before toppling over to the side. He still impressively rolls onto his belly any chance he gets (he doesn't care too much about rolling the other way, but he can do it). He still loves his jumper, especially in the time period right before bed. He LOVES watching Henry.
The most impressive/scary thing...Elliot is mobile! It is terrifyingly true - Mr. E can cammando crawl with ease and across the entire room. He has yet to fully get up on hands and knees, but what he does is push with his knees and feet and use his hands to pull him. When he is interested in something he is FAST. This is a bit unfortunate. Usually there is a glorious, although short lived, time where a baby can sit to play with toys but cannot yet crawl and get into trouble. No go for us, I guess. Also... our house is basically a death trap primarily due to the Lego explosion that occurs on a daily basis (it is a LOT harder to baby proof with an older kid, let me tell you). We are going to have to get creative to avoid the numerous choking hazards around here.
Happy 5 month birthday to our little man!
