Baby Jydan - 5 Months 2 Weeks.

Twenty-Three Weeks:

My crabby teething
monster.

Jydan has become so curious about the world, he wants to learn and look around at everything. He use to be a good sleeper while we were out and about but now we are lucky if sleeps for 25 minutes because he just wants to explore! Just too gorgeous. We've been hit with the teething bug this week. OH.GOSH.. really want my happy bub back! I get snippets every few hours, but then it's usually followed by hours of crying. The poor thing. Looking forward to seeing some toothy pegs soon though :).


It's school holidays here so we are finally have a 'break' from our busy schedule since my mothers group and playgroup are off during the holidays.  We've done some shopping for clothes in the next size for Jydan, finally started Jydan's milestone book, most of the week we've slept through but a couple of nights we've woken up between 4.30 - 5, which is okay. We've gone to watch my little brother play footy, gone to church, played with new toys, had a big cooking night for Jydans food, learnt new skills (How to lift his bum off the ground while doing tummy time, turn the page of a book, and how to hold a sippy cup better), tried new foods (sweet potato), and gone for walks. We are still struggling with eczema, only because we have to use it week on and week off, and the off week it comes back terribly.

Favourite Toy This Week:

His bath toys! He loves them. He has a couple of books and some plastic squirty toys. They live in a 'penguin' near the bath when it's not bath time. So, as soon as he gets in bath he looks at the penguin and puts his hand out for them.. SOO GORGEOUS! (I love how he puts his hand out for things now).

Favourite Thing To Do:

Suck his thumb! He actually has a little bit of dermatitis on his thumb because he sucks, sucks, sucks!! Even when we put him on tummy time he will suck his thumb. He's suppose to be rolling!





Favourite Book:


We went shopping the other day and found this book, held it up to Jydan to see if he liked it and he loved it. He kept reading it the whole time we were shopping. And yet again, it's the very hungry caterpillar!

Favourite Food:

This week it's banana.. yum yum yum!!

Favourite Word:

Jydan has started coping sounds, it's so cute. I said 'I love you' to him and he say 'ahh uuu' back. ADORABLE!!

Milestones:

He is now putting his hand or arm out indicating or reaching for something he wants - just gorgeous!

Personality This Week:

At the end of this week he has been a bit cranky because the teething monster is here :(, so not many smiles or laughs the last few days.

Moment Of The Week:

I got Jydan up for the day and as we always do, had a snuggle in my bed.. but this morning he fell straight back asleep in mummy and daddy's bed.. aww!! He slept for another hour.

Outfit Of The Week:

Aren't little people's shoes sooo cute!! (Guess shoes!)

Baby Jydan - 5 Months 1 Week

Twenty-Two Weeks:

Jydan is officially SLEEPING THROUGH THE NIGHT woop woop.. After 5 months I officially know what sleep is again. He goes down at about 7 - 7.30pm and waking up about 6am. Last night he actually woke about 7am! Sometimes he will have a feed and go back to sleep for a couple of hours and other mornings it's party time. I rather him wake up though, I love snuggling up in my bed with him in the morning.
He isn't sleeping that great during the day anymore. But I think it's because he has always slept 14-16 hours in a 24 hour period and now doing most of that straight through the night. He still sleeps 14-16 hours but it's not long naps. More time to play :).

I've been really blown away about how much older Jydan looks now, the last few weeks he is just looking older and older. Becoming such a big bub!
Last week included improvements in sitting, trying new foods - he has now tried, avocado, banana, pumpkin and pears, tried a sippy cup, better sleeping, a gorgeous personality, church, exploring, a mothers group, play date with Kaison, colder weather, sitting up in the pram (we have stopped laying it back) and a play date with Ryka.

Favourite Toy This Week:
We've sat the pram up now so he can play with the toys on the pram.. he LOVES it.

Favourite Thing To Do:

Bath time! His favourite thing to do is definitely have a bath. He loves a bath. Especially with his mumma!

Favourite Book:

When it's 'storytime' we get Jydan to pick a story. He will either lean towards one or eye off one. He loves these books! They only thing is, they're not a story.. so boring!! haha.

Favourite Food:

Pumpkin, Jydan loves pumpkin. He loves it more then any other food he has tried.

Favourite Word:

He is still saying 'Apple' a lot. Or 'Aaa ball'. He hasn't said mum for a while. I think because it was more a crying thing and he doesn't cry much now.

Milestones:
When Jydan is doing his crunches on the floor to try and sit up, he is pushing himself further and further up. If he holds onto my fingers he can pull himself 3/4 of the way to sitting up!

Personality This Week:

So playful! It's actually been a really fun week cause he been so playful. I have learnt to 'stop' and just play and it's been super fun!

Moment Of The Week:




Going for a walk in his pram where he was sitting up in it for the first time and he just watched everything as we walked past. We weren't able to do that before, so he loved it!



Outfit Of The Week:

I love Gymboree clothes. I get a lot of his clothes from Gymboree and this is probably my favourite outfit. They are GREAT prices too.

Sippy cup!!

Baby Jydan - 4 Months 4 Weeks.

Twenty-One Weeks:

During Jydan's specialists appointment he was weighed and measured. He is now 6.8 Kilo's (14.9 pounds) which is around the weight as a baby in Australia was born at in Feb this year! Crazy huh! He is 64 cm long too which is 25 inches. We got his  head measured too and it's the same measurement as last month, his little heady hasn't grown.. and we still have no answers and have to wait for ANOTHER specialists appointment. It's all a waiting game.
Solids are going really well this week. He has around a teaspoon for dinner each day. He had avocado for about a week and then we introduced him to banana. The first night he had banana he slept the whole night. He slept from 7pm - 6.30am!! I was awake at 4.30 just waiting for him wake and checking that he was breathing.. and waiting.. and waiting. And then he had a feed and went back to sleep 'till 8.50am. I never thought I would see the day. What a brilliant boy I have.
Day light savings ended through this week so Jydan has been waking an hour earlier, but since he's sleeping so much better, I don't mind that much :).
This week it's been a bit colder then what Jydan is use to so luckily we have a heat pump, it's been on for the first time this year. I also got my 'Jydan tattoo' which you can read about HERE, we've had lots of play dates and lunch dates, Tim's had an extra day off work, shopping, introduced new foods, still battled with his eczema, better sleeping habits and more interactive play!

Favourite Toy This Week:

His thumb! Jydan's loved putting his hands in his mouth for a couple of months now but he's now favouring his thumb... hehe funny boy!

Favourite Thing To Do:

Jydan has discovered blowing bubbles and loves it! Blowing bubbles/spitting. As if there wasn't enough dribble! haha.


Favourite Book:

Jydan really just loves books in general. If it's bright and colourful he will sit and look at the pictures and listen to your voice while you read with him. If there is a book or magazine near by he will stare at it until you read it to him, and read it many times!








Favourite Food:

Banana's, he likes them more then avocado. Yum yum! We have started giving him breakfast now too. Since he can't have grains, wheat or dairy, baby cereal is out of the question. So banana's are a great breakfast food. We are introducing him to pumpkin for dinner tonight.. let's see how it goes :).

Favourite Word:

"Apple".. He says this over and over and over again. He says it more like "aaaaa-pool". I think he likes the 'bubble' feeling it has on his lips, since he is all about blowing bubbles at the moment.

Milestones:

Sleeping, woohoo. Definitely a milestone, right? If we aren't sleeping through the whole night, we are only waking once and we are achieving 2 hour naps through the day.

Personality This Week:

A big big chatterbox this week. He is always trying to join in on conversations. He isn't afraid of strangers anymore, he's happy to interact with anyone.

Moment Of The Week:

Sleeping again... after spending months waking every 2-3 hours, I'm over the moon about this sleep thing.. you can't half tell, huh!



Outfit Of The Week:

I'm obsessed with the very hungry caterpillar and LOVE these overalls. Too cute!

Photo Of The Week:

Jydan loves his food! He's eating avocado here with a little bit of banana and breastmilk :).
