5 Months

Happy 5 Months Jace!

Jace is the sweetest baby ever and he is getting so big! He's a happy little guy and he just brings so much joy to our family. He is so easygoing and content; he's no trouble at all.

 

 Jace is still sleeping all night and still taking 6 ounces of formula (with added rice cereal) every 3-4 hours during the day. He just started having oatmeal and a fruit mid-morning and a veggie (with a little rice cereal) and fruit in the evenings. He is drinking from a sippy cup during his meals and he's doing great with it. His spitting up has gotten so much better, it's nothing like it was!
He can roll tummy to back and back to tummy. He's sitting up on his own (although he's still a little wobbly).

 

Jace doesn't have any teeth breaking through yet, but I'm sure it won't be long. Everything goes into his mouth and he loves to bite on our fingers and his Sophie the Giraffe.
Jace spent his first night away from home (and me!) on Friday, October 8th. He and Avaree spent the night with their Gammy. I wasn't too crazy about the idea, buy Mom called everyday that week begging for him to spend the night. She picked them up from daycare when she got off; and then I took their clothes over when I got off and ended up staying for a little while. So really, Gammy only got a couple of waking hours with him because I was over there fairly early Saturday morning too to go shopping. It was really weird not to hear the monitor going during the night.
Here are some pictures from the past few weeks.
