Krober Happenings: Five Months Old

No doctors visit at 5 months so I don’t know what Kate and Grayson weigh and we forgot to weigh them at home J I know they are gaining weight because both are heavy to carry... especially in their car seat.

Here's what we were up to last month...

We pretty much stayed home during the month of June with a few day trips to Coulee here and there. It was fun to celebrate Tim’s first Father’s Day. I found onsies that said “Happy First Father’s Day Daddy” so got a pink and blue one. I also decided to take imprints of Kate & Grayson’s hands and feet in clay to give to Tim. It wasn’t as hard as I thought it was going to be and turned out cute.

Kate still has the 1 feeding at night. She has decided to go to bed earlier this month. She goes to sleep at 8pm and sleeps until 3-4, eats and then back to sleep until 7:00-7:30am. Up until this month she has been sleeping at night in the sleeper. Well, one night she tried to roll onto her side in the sleeper so that was the last night of the sleeper. She started sleeping in her crib and has done very well. She must be going through a phase with naps where she doesn’t want to take them J We’re lucky if she gets 2 naps and those naps are anywhere from 30 min to 2 ½ hours. Each day is unpredictable. We have gotten on a schedule with our feedings so at least those are predictable. She is eating 5-6oz and 4am, 8am, 12pm, 4pm and 7:30pm. It is nice to have those scheduled. It took 4 months but we’re getting there. Kate loves to talk and is beginning to grab the toys hanging above her on the play mat. She has found her feet and toes and loves them! She has started to giggle and it is sooooo cute. She loves to sit up and see what is going on in the world, she loves looking at colorful books, tummy time is getting easier and she loves to lay outside in the evenings. She giggles at the song “All Around the Mullberry bush” so we sing it lots. Kate still doesn’t like when we leave the room, she fights going to sleep for naps and car rides are not fun with her. I got out an activity bouncer and the bumbo. She isn’t fond of the bumbo but the activity bouncer is interesting to her but she doesn’t quite understand what she is supposed to do.

Grayson still has the 1 feeding at night. He has decided to go to bed earlier as well. He goes to sleep at 8pm and sleeps until 3-4, eats and then back to sleep until 7:00-7:30am. He is still sleeping in the sleeper at night and doing great. His naps have pretty much stayed the same except he fights going to sleep. I hope he grows out if this soon. We have gotten on a schedule with our feedings so at least those are predictable. He is eating 4-5oz at 4am and 6oz at 8am, 12pm, 4pm and 7:30pm. It is nice to have those scheduled. He loves to talk and bat at objects hanging above him on the play mat. He has developed a new sound, which is hard to describe, but we have started calling him Evanrude from “The Rescuers Down Under”. The sound is cute. He loves to look at colorful books, play with any toy that makes a sound, talks all the time and also enjoys laying outside in the evenings. Grayson is beginning to roll from side to side, bat at objects and giggle on command.

Here are a few pictures...
