5 Months






On January 18th Camden turned 5 months old. We completed weaning him to a bottle when he turned 5 months and he is doing extremely well. Camden continues to be a happy, easy-going baby. He is content to just hang out and chat. He loves to play with mommy's hands, kick on his play blanket until he rotates himself in a complete circle. Perhaps he's just trying to keep an eye on the action. Camden is becoming very good at grabbing things and mouthing them and he is very good at telling mommy and daddy what he wants by reaching for and grabbing things. He continues to sleep well through the night (11-12 hours), and his daytime naps have gotten a bit longer. Rather than taking 4-40 minute naps a day he will sleep for about an hour and a half 2 times, then 4o minutes in the evening. This napping schedule varies considerably depending on what the family is doing and Camden's sleep-needs. Sadly, most of Camden's long dark hair feel out over the last month or so. Luckily it is growing back in pretty quickly but it is looking a lot lighter than when he was born. The longest remaining hairs are in the mohawk area but they are so thin that they just lay right down.
