At 5 months Charlotte is still taking 4 naps a day most days. Sometimes if she has slept in or taken a long nap it is down to 3 naps. This was the month of the infamous 4 month sleep regression and it did trip us up a little. She is just still a bit unpredictable with her routine. At night she went from waking up at 2-3am and again at 5-6 am to a wake up that started as early as 11 pm! her naps have never been superb so they stayed about the same but getting her to fall asleep became a little trickier and she totally changed how she liked to fall asleep....from a gentle sway and pacifier to get drowsy to more vigorous squats and bouncing! It's like my daily aerobic activity. haha. I know I need to transition her to the crib and out of the swaddle but oh how I've put that off. I'm waiting for this regression phase to end! :) She is still a petite little thing and wearing 3 month clothes mostly(some 3-6month clothes), size 2 diapers. She loves smiling and laughing with us and loves rolling around on her mat and grabbing toys. She especially likes her Scout dog who makes her giggle and her face lights up when she sees him. Cooper makes her laugh alot, too and she enjoys watching him dress up as superheros and play. She is starting to stand and play in the exersaucer for a real work out! We also gave her pears and sweet potatoes as her first food this month. She is not sure what she thinks of it and gives funny faces, but tolerates this new activity! We just love our sweet little girl so much xoxo
