Maverick is 5 months old!

Today our wonderful son is 5 months old!

I still can't believe how fast he changes!!

Here is what Maverick William is up to these days:



-Weighs about 16 or 17 pounds
-Around 26 inches long
-Barely wears a size 2 diaper, probably should move up to the next size but we still have so many size 2 diapers from the shower to use. Ha!
-Wears mostly 6-9 month clothes, although a few 3-6 month outfits still fit. I still get teary eyed when I have to put clothes that are too small in storage.




-We've been working on sitting up for a couple weeks, and he's really gotten the hang of it. Still needs a pillow or a hand there when he falls, but each time we practice he is able to sit up by himself longer and longer.
-Maverick really likes to stand, and quite often gets fussy when whoever is holding him sits him on their lap because their arms are so tired.



-He has been the best sleeper since he turned 3 months old. He's not much of a napper during the day (usually takes 3 or 4 30 minute naps), but he is an awesome over-nighter. He sleeps 12 or more hours uninterrupted during the night.



-Maverick pretty much eats from his high chair now, except when he takes his bottle.
-He is up to 2 solids a day, usually oatmeal in the morning and a veggie in the evening.



-Mav's personality shows more and more everyday. He giggles and screeches so much, it's wonderful! I guess we better enjoy it because before we know it he's gonna be ignoring us. Ha ha!
