Five months old


I can't believe my baby is 5 months old. Time really flies. The days are long, but the years (months in her case) are short. 

It's amazing and crazy to think back on what Carlo was like at 5 months. His rough sleep patch started at 4 months with the sleep regression and continued into 5 months where I was unable to transfer him into his bed. That led to bedsharing. Well with Sierra, we often bedshare part of the night already, but there have been no immediate wake ups from a dead sleep just from transferring her onto her mattress. Obviously things can change, but for now, she's a pretty amazing sleeper for a baby.

It's unbelievable to think that she's my best sleeper at the moment too. Carlo is working on his 2 year molars and sick, so after 45 minutes of sleep for me, I'm up now.

Sierra sits around 65 cm tall and 14 lbs. She is growing around the 35/40th percentile, which is so different from Carlo who was 85/90th. It's neat to see how different they are. She is wearing size 6 month clothes and has a lot of growing room left in most of them. She is exclusively breast fed. We wait until 6 months + and sitting before starting baby led weaning. She is so excited about food though. She has teethed on carrots and celery already and FLIPS her shit if she drops it. I hope she's a foodie and not as picky as her brother.
