Five months

You love to put your fingers in moms mouth. When you have painful burps you often claw at and scratch mom. Also you like to suck on or bite moms chin if you loose your binky. Biting is when you have a burp. It helps mom to know that you are in pain from burps and not just cranky and sleepy. You love to grab at everything and shove it in your mouth. You love scratching everything that makes a sound, the changing pad, couch, etc. I think you like the feel and sound. You like to chew on your binky (it's all rubber) in funny ways backwards, upsidedown, etc.

When sitting up it's funny to watch you because you sit up, lean forward, sit up, lean forward. So cute!

You LOVE your daddy! You get excited whenever he walks into the room or you here his voice when he comes home or around the corner. We know this because you do this whole body squirm, panting like a dog, and a big smile. It's so fun.

You are getting pickier about who holds you and it's even worse when you aren't content. If you have a burp or are slightly sleepy.

Walker & reflux

You were to small to reach the ground at Christmas time in your walker. Today you had your foot flat on the ground and were pushing yourself backwards on the floor in the bathroom.

You have had the symptoms of acid reflux for a while but with you being my first little one I haven't noticed what is normal. The last of your older cousins that I've really been around before you were born a few years older than you. I knew you had trouble with burps taking forever to get all of them out. I'd lay you down for a nap and you'd usually wake not long after. I got a prescription for your reflux but it didn't seem to help as much as I thought it would. It seems to help with the arching of your back but not your spit up or sleep. Today I tried to feed you my milk via bottle to see if that helped. You didn't spit up today but you seemed to cough a little. I'm guessing it's because you aren't used to keeping all the milk fat down.

Sitting up at four months

Your pretty good at sitting up on your own if mom positions your feet right and lets you stable yourself before letting go. 

Mom also is getting to thinking that you most like likely have some kind of reflux.  You always arch your back, fuss, squeal and moan, when mom tries burping you.  You also moan when you spit up. 

When you get hungry your make a fake coughing sound it's quite funny.

Mom is also trying out some cloth diapers that she bought for your 72 hr / emergency bag.
