Hailey's Stats:
Age: 5 months
Weight: 12 lbs 5oz - still so little!
Length: not sure... 24.5"?
Eye Color: deep blue- they are lightening up some but still very blue
Hair color: blonde- still hasn't started falling out! Crossing our fingers it won't.
Clothing: I recently pulled out her 6 month clothes and most of them fit
Eating Schedule: Every 2.5- 3 hours, except at night before bed when she cluster feeds; mostly nursing. I think she eats about 4-6 oz/feeding
Sleeping: She goes to bed around 9pm but then I come in and give her a bottle around 11pm. Then sleeps till about 6 am for a quick feed and then back down till 8. I've been trying really hard to get her to sleep through the 6 am feed. She has been getting a 1 oz bottle for a week or two to try to get her over needing to eat then but it's been a slow process. Sometimes she sleeps longer but other nights she is still waking up early. Maybe one day we will get it! Her naps are super crazy and inconsistent. However, she does almost always sleep in the afternoon from about 2-5. This works out great because it is Jacob's nap time too. But every other nap of the day is up in the air. I never know if/when she will sleep! Even without naps she is still a happy baby so I guess I can't complain.
Activity: This month Hailey is rolling easily from her back to her tummy but seems to have forgotten how to go the other way. I remember Jacob doing the same thing! So now we can no longer swaddle her for sleep which has led to some struggles in the sleep department. She also tends to roll onto her tummy while sleeping and then waking up mad about it! It does seem as though by the end of this month we were starting to get past those issues. We have started sitting/standing and playing in the exercauser, sitting in the Bumbo seat at dinner, and working on standing. Hailey really doesn't like to put weight on her feet yet. Stubborn girl.
Personality: Hailey is still an easy, happy baby. She goes with the flow and seems to be ok with being taken around everywhere to play with Jacob. She also thinks Jacob is hysterical as long as he's not being overwhelming or trying to hurt her. Just recently she has started to really let us know when she doesn't like something. She blows raspberries at us if she isn't pleased. We get the most protest over going in the car seat, and occasionally for diapers or naps. I have to admit, its pretty funny. I can't wait to learn more of our girls personality over the next few months.
Here's our beautiful Hailey Bear!
