Paxton - 5 months


Dear Paxton,

My little man, you are 5 months old.  This last month has brought a major change for you.  Mama went back to work, and you are not enjoying it.  You hate to take a bottle. You will eventually take an ounce or two if Mama has been gone for a very long time, but you are not happy with it. Only one day a week for now, but you are hating every minute of it.  Mama hates it too! Luckily I only have to work a six hour shift, but it still feels like such a long time to be away from my little boobie monster.


You are now a little rolling machine. If you see something you want to play with, you can roll across the room to get it.


We tried to introduce solid food to you, but your tongue thrust reflex has stopped you from eating too much.  You are extremely interested in food and will grab at food when you see it, but swallowing it doesn't happen too often.


Speaking of grabbing, you are getting really good with those hands and are fascinated with what they can do.


You enjoy being put in the bouncer.  Although you don't bounce in it yet, you love to play with the toys hanging from it.  You also like that you can stand up in it.


Your brother loves the bouncer too.  We have to pull Enzo out of the bouncer whenever we want to put you in it.


Your sleeping habits have not really improved.  You like to eat all night long and snuggle with Mama. You sleep well as long as you are snuggled up next to me. I enjoy it, but Daddy not so much.

Until next month,

Love, Mama
