four + five months old

I have fallen behind on my monthly Theo posts, so going for a 2-in-1 update. 

Starting out with Mr. T's 4th month: 


Our sweet Theo-boy is a-growing and a-changing everyday. He is arching his back trying to roll over, grabbing and swatting at toys, sucking his fingers or thumbs...he's not particular.


He's super happy and super sweet. He adores his brothers and loves to be held. He continues to nap well on the go and that is a blessing since we are always rushing to pick someone up, hurrying to drop someone off, or running a quick errand. 


He measured 15 pounds 4 ounces and a little over 24 inches long at his appointment this month. 


Sleep is all over the place! Some nights Theo will sleep a nice 6-8 hour stretch and other nights he is up 2-3 times. Sigh. Mama is super tired, but his smiley face looking up at me when I go to pick him up makes it easy to forgive him.


And Theo's 5th month: 


This month, Theo really found his voice and started to laugh. He became very "talkative" and especially loves to talk with the ladies....a natural born flirt. He joins right in the conversation and has even been known to sing along with his brothers in the car.


Sleep did not change much this month. It is still pretty random. Thankfully, he nurses and goes back down pretty easily. Unfortunately, his naps took a hit this month. Boo. Oh well....such is life with a baby.


Sweet Theo is incredibly affectionate and loves to rub and scratch on you while you hold him. He can't get enough of Mommy's kisses and has started to lean in to get more. 


By the end of his fifth month, Theo began to really roll both back-to-tummy and tummy-to-back. He has it down enough that he can no longer be left unattended on a bed or couch.


Though many days feel insanely long, the months are flying by. We sure do love our sweet Theo-boy.
