Aria is 5 months old!



Ahh my little lady is 5 months old! Where has the time gone?! ❤️

Baby stats

Sleep: she still hasn't gone back to sleeping through the night but usually only wakes up twice. Around 1230/1 and then around 5. We need to get into a better routine... I think that might help. 

Feed: every 2/3hours other than at night

Daily Routine: not a strict routine but usually up around 630/7am for a feed then we sleep until 830-9. Boob then nap around 10. With Neil at home we usually plan to do something after this nap. Her naps seem to get shorter as the day goes on.. Hopefully once this sleep regression passed that will change. Goes to bed around 830-9. 

Weight: 14lb 14oz 

Length: 25in and 16.75 head

Diaper size: size 3 diapers. These have helped with the blow outs. Although sometimes still sneaks out the side lol. 

Clothing size: 3-6m still but they are getting tighter and 6month sleepers. We should be good to go for 6-12m clothes when fall hits. 

Hair Color: medium brown but seems lighter in the sun 

Eye Color: very dark brown 

Baby favs: she is mommys girl (is happy as long as I'm near or preferably holding her), playing with toys, seeing her brother (she giggles the most at him it's too cute), sitting or standing, jumperoo, she is loving food!

Baby not so favs: being away from mom, naps, being stuck doing something for too long, when she can't reach her food 

Challenges: 
- still struggling with naps a bit. I'm finding it harder to have a strict routine with two kids 
- keeping her busy so she's happy. It'll be better when she can sit on her own I think 


Funniest moment: When she wants food in her mouth she makes sounds and then forcefully puts it in her mouth Hahha

Milestones/ Firsts:
- first food peaches (August 3), since then she's had banana, watermelon and apple as well 
- still working on sitting (she should have it completely by next month)

Events in the past month:
Lots of beach days or lake days (we get out in the sun whenever possible)
Family time 
Walks 




Looking forward to:
- her sitting by herself but at the same time she is growing up way too fast. Time needs to slow down 😢



She is liking the swing now! 

Lots of beach days 

Loving the jumperoo now (not much jumping but lots of inspecting) 



Loves her brother so much
