Caught in the Act- Happy 5 Months

I'm way behind on post, so bare with me.  Holden is almost 6 months, just so we know we're at.  So much is going on this summer I barely have time to even get on the computer once I'm home.  Little man is growing so fast.  He has learned so much over the past several weeks and has changed so much.  We are now fully un-swaddled, we have to keep an eye on him for tummy time as it is no longer just tummy time.  It is "wherever Holden wants to roll" time.  We went through the tummy upset of rice cereal and funny that we much rather prefer oatmeal cereal are are currently up to 3 tbs. in the am and 4 tbs. in the evening.  It took several weeks to get him back on schedule of sleeping through the night, but we survived!

During our attempts at night sleeping un-swaddled, we awoke to this one morning.....

Please note that he does have on the swaddle still, but BOTH arms are out and thumb is placed just perfectly in the mouth!  Yup, after this we figured the swaddle was now useless!  We definitely missed the swaddle for a few weeks until he got into a new sleep routine at night.

Rollin' Rollin' Rollin'

Holden mastered rolling over in all directions a few weeks ago.  This definitely help is night sleeping.  For a while he would roll to his tummy in the middle of the night, wake himself, get so mad cause he couldn't turn back over and would scream bloody murder until we came in and rolled him back over.  But, he finally figured it all out. I was worried there for a minute, but of course Grammy to the rescue with this very logical explanation:  "Tiara, he is just fine.  There's a lot of weight back there to be trying to roll over with." Wow, I feel so much better now!




More to come at 6 months post!
