It is hard to believe Molly is already 5 months old! Time really does go faster the second time around-did I say that last month!?!
Molly loves nursing! She loves nursing a little too much, as you can see from the picture above! She nurses throughout the day, about every 3 hours and then gets a bottle of expressed milk at bedtime-7 ounces.
We did sleep training, Ferber Method, and Molly did great! She now puts herself to sleep after bath, bottle, books and songs. Molly is still struggling with putting herself back to sleep when she wakes in the night. The only way to get her back to sleep is to nurse. We have had some long and challenging nights. Hopefully she figures things out soon, because momma is tired!
Molly loves watching Brooklyn at all times! She is always smiling and laughing at her! Brooklyn is slowly starting to warm up and give Molly a little more attention each day-yay!!
What has Molly been up to this month:
- Loves to be outside
- Does not take a paci-instead loves sucking on hands. Hand are completely raw and looks painful. Coconut oil and aquafor are your hands best friends! Occasionally Molly will find her thumb and suck on it for a few minutes, but nothing consistent!
- Loves nursing!
- Reaches and grabs at everything in front of her
- Loves bathtime
- Tried rice cereal-was a fan at first, but does not like it now! Going to give it a break and try again in a few weeks!
- Takes all naps in her swing! 2 mornings naps, about an hour each and an afternoon nap anywhere from 2-3 hours!
- Loves her playmat and laying on the floor!
- Enjoys tummy time!
- Rolls over to tummy from back all the time, will not lay on back for long periods of time!
- Still will not roll from tummy to back!
- Very laid back baby! Only cries when she is tired or hungry!
- Loves just watching the world go on around her and takes everything in!
- Serious most of the time!
- Starting to talk and coo more!
- Tried the Jumperoo for the first time, you only like it for about 3 minutes then you are done!
- We found her ticklish spots-under neck and thighs!
- Cutest laugh-but only usually laughs if she is being tickled!
- Starting to sit up-can sit unassisted for just a few minutes before falling over!
