The View of a 30-Something Mom of two

monthly · January 23, 2015

Bennett: Five Months



Weight/Length: He was exactly 14 lbs. on his five month weight check in. (We bought a scale shortly after he was born, it’s a lot of fun to check to see how our little man is growing!) He was 26″ when we measured his length, and didn’t measure his head this time. He’s a long and lean baby, and we love it!

Hair: I think his hair is getting a little lighter compared to when he was born. It’s getting long in the back and remaining shorter on the sides, with a few stragglers.

Diapers: Size 2 Honest Company and Medium Gdiapers.

Clothing: 3-6 Months in Gap, Old Navy, and Gymboree. 6 Months in Carters. šŸ™‚

Favorite Things: The swing (both in and outside), his bug crib toy, and piano gym

Likes: He loves listening to music–any kind, he loves the stroller and the ergo, eating at dinner time (not so much breakfast time), swim class, watching other kids, anything to do with outside!

Dislikes: The Bumbo. Well, he likes it but he spits up in it every time he sits in it. So it is not my favorite thing. Hopefully he will like it at some point!

Milestones: He is starting to stand up, as well as learning to sit up. I’m guessing he will be able to sit up by 6 months. He started rolling right around 3.5 Months stopped about a month later. Did it the other day and decided it wasn’t for him again. We will see when he starts again. He LOVES to talk and laugh , he will talk to anyone. He is usually the one talking during his My Gym class.

Sleeping: Oh sleeping…Usually up 2 times at night, sometimes around 1am and then at 4/5. (But last night he slept til 4:30AM, it was pure bliss!) He usually takes 2 naps during the day and a catnap in the evening. His first nap is about an hour and the next one at least 1.5 hours.

Mama Thoughts:
I hear myself daily say how I can’t believe how fast he is growing, and I want my newborn baby back! In all honesty, I love watching him grow and learn about the world around him. Literally, he is a sponge that is taking in everything around him. All it takes is usually one or two times of showing him something and he is ready to go! This is such a fun stage and I can’t wait to continue to watch him grow!

Come back later today for Confessional Friday!

The sweetest mornings are spent with these three. The sweetest mornings are spent with these three. I love to do our together learning in the morning—which includes @masterbooks and @gospelproject_ devotion. My youngest even joins in for our morning breakfast devotion, and then reads and plays while we complete social studies and science. What’s your special moment each day?
Today my sweet baby turns 8. He has taught my so m Today my sweet baby turns 8. He has taught my so much about being a mother, and I love watching him grow every year. He’s a sweet kid, who loves to be silly. He likes his alone time to play, but also loves when his brother plays with him. He surprises me daily with all the things he knows, and I’m so blessed we’re going on our third year of learning together. He loves his baby sister something big, and she puts up with his shenanigans. We all love to watch him play and grow in baseball, and watching his skills develop over the years has been fun! Happy birthday sweet Bennett! šŸŽ‚

I kept thinking about party favors, and after chatting with some friends about ideas—decided on this! I loved that I wouldn’t be handing out candy or other items that may end up just thrown away. Also, ice cream was always served with cake as a kid so what better way to get your ice cream later šŸ˜‰

Also, any other moms out there that their kid missed their siblings more than you? šŸ¤¦šŸ¼ā€ā™€ļø oh well, he enjoyed it and his teacher is literally the sweetest thing! How is your first week going? Any case of the kids say the craziest thing? I love the first day of school, and it’s such a special moment to watch and see how each child takes the day and runs with it. šŸ’™

We love making these apple donuts—they are fun for the kids to decorate—add frosting, peanut butter, sprinkles, the list goes on! Kroger now has an amazing new membership that offers FREE next day grocery delivery. They are also giving 2X the fuel points for every dollar spent* on groceries. All of this and much more for $59/Year! We love getting our groceries from Kroger as it saves so much time and money, in more places then just the grocery store.
