Our little Layton is 5 months old! It’s hard to believe she is almost 6 months old and i don’t have a “newborn” anymore! It goes by way too fast!
Layton is so content, so happy, so easy going! She loves to be held and just watch big sister play all day! She is no longer sleeping through the night but I’m trying to just soak up all the cuddles while I still can. I’m use to no sleep at this point! Layton is rolling all over the place. She will go back to front and front to back but will eventually get frustrated and want to be picked up! She is now rolling in the middle of the night & is ending up on her tummy. It freaks me out and i am constantly checking on her when she’s ok her tummy but she seems to sleep better on her tummy.
The last couple days she has been a little fussy and not sleeping well. We are thinking she is teething and just is uncomfortable! But she still is content and happy 99% of the time.
She is having solid baby foods and loving everything we have given her except squash! She gets so excited and will grab for the spoon! Even big sissy likes to try the baby food, she asks for “big girl baby food”… um that’s just food my sweet child ;). We are only feeding her once a day usually at dinner time. Hoping we can start adding other foods and more often soon! She loves to sit at the table in her bumbo with us!
She is so chatty! She will talk and talk and happy scream and she makes it known she is there and she will not be forgotten! It’s funny cause she will get really loud when daddy and sissy are playing. Like she is saying “i wanna play too!!” We can’t wait for her to get to play with big sis. She loves to watch daddy and sissy playing and will smile and laugh at them! It melts my heart. I know these two girls are gonna be best friends. Londyn is so obsessed with her and i hope that never changes. Londyn, Layton and mommy will dance to frozen 2 songs and Layton will laugh and laugh. She loves when we all dance together.
She still loves bath time and loves putting all the bath toys in her mouth and will get mad when I try and take it away. She loves when Londyn takes a bath with her!
At her 4 month appointment she wasn’t gaining as much as the doctor wanted and we had to go back a month later for a weight check. We had that check a week ago and she is gaining better but still wants her to gain more so we have started supplementing formula. I am still breastfeeding at night but she has formula during the day. Which is a good thing and I was starting to worry about my supply and this was a relief that I can breast feed and give formula. The doctor suggested i keep my frozen breast milk supply for this fall/winter just in case Layton gets sick.
I am leaving Layton for the first time for a few days. Her and Londyn will stay with daddy for a few days while I go on a trip with my mom. I think it will be so great for Mitch and ME! It’s always hard leaving but good for everyone.
Looking forward to Layton to keep hitting the big milestone like sitting, eating more, sleeping more 😉 but time can slow a little more cause i miss my tiny little baby
