I would guess you are 17-18 pounds right now. We have your well check next month!
AT FIVE MONTHS YOU ARE:
-LAUGHING :) Usually at your sisters!
-Loving your excersaucer
-Practicing sitting up every day with help
-Constantly blowing raspberries and babbling
-ALWAYS covered in drool - maybe we will have teeth soon?
-The most popular little guy in our house! You are constantly smothered by your sisters, but you handle it like a champ.

HEALTH
You've been pretty healthy this month and are certainly growing, so much so that you are already outgrowing a lot of your 6 month clothes and size 2 diapers. Slow down baby boy! Next month we have your next well check as well as your follow up ultra sound and appointment with the urologist. EAT
Not much has changed this month with your eating schedule. You still nurse in under 5 minutes, prefer nursing from the right side, and eat 4 times during the day and once or twice during the night. You are a happy, healthy, growing boy and I'm happy I've been able to give you exactly what you need. We are going to start solids very soon, so stay tuned next month for an update on how you feel about something other than "mommy's special milk" as Addie calls it.
This month has been kind of rough in the sleep department, but you are not to blame! You were happy as can be in your own crib in your own room, your sisters, not so much. They started waking up in the middle of the night ready to read books and play. Instead of being awake with a newborn, we were up with two very opinionated toddlers. Most nights we ended up doing a room rotation at 3am. Bella went back in your room which meant you came back with us. After we were able to get a few nights of good sleep and we were done with our fall trips, we put everyone back where they belong and so far so good. Lately you've been doing a really great job putting yourself to sleep when I lay you down drowsy. Occasionally you wake up and fuss for a few minutes, but you are getting better at putting yourself back to sleep.
LIKES & DISLIKES
Right now you love playing and exploring all of your toys and put just about anything in your mouth that you get your hands on. The excersaucer and your bumbo are your favorite places to hang out when you are not in mommy's arms because you like to be able to be in on the action. You've also started to love the park, whether you are sitting up in the stroller or hanging out in the swing, you are all smiles. The pacifier, your solly wrap, and chewing on your hands continue to be favorites. Getting your nose suctioned and getting out of the bath tub are your least favorite things.
PERSONALITY
You are the absolute sweetest little boy and I can't believe you are already 5 months old! We are completely obsessed with every thing about you and you are by far the most popular person in our house right now, from your chubby cheeks and chunky thighs, to your squeals of excitement and adorable facial expressions, we seriously can't get enough. You are never ever left alone (unless you are sleeping) and usually have very little personal space thanks to your sisters and you are completely okay with it. You handle life with 2 sisters and being the 3rd child like a champ - you are easy going, flexible, and so much fun. Noah, you're pretty awesome - we love you buddy!
FAVORITE MOMENTS
-Bella started preschool this month, so for the first time in your life we have one on one time every single week and I kind of love it!
-We are loving all things fall around here! You've been on many trips to the pumpkin patch, love Steeler Sundays as much as we do, and are very excited to celebrate your first Halloween in a few weeks!
-We brought you along to Chicago this month to visit Kristen while your sisters had a fun weekend at home with the babysitter. We survived your first flight and had a blast exploring Chicago since it was all of our first time. We went on the architect tour, visited the sky deck and the bean, and even took you in your first bar - Molly's from Chicago Fire. It was a fun (an exhausting) weekend, but we can't wait to go back!
-We also took a family road trip to Pittsburgh to see Grandma and Pap. I was very nervous the car ride was going to be a nightmare, but you surprised us all and slept the majority of the time. Finally, I have a kid who enjoys sleeping in the car! Woohooo! We had a fun-filled weekend of visiting the pumpkin patch, family dinners, going to Kennywood, and cheering on cousin Bryan at his football game.
-I never want to forget how Addie greets you every morning with the sweetest "Good morning buddy! Did you have a good rest?" and Bella squeals "BROTHER" in excitement over and over again the second she sees you, like she just can't believe you are still here. It's these little moments that literally make my heart explode!
