- He found his feet and is obsessed with trying to put them and his knees in his mouth.
- Two weeks ago I started making his baby food. First up was applesauce - Definitely not a fan, so I tried bananas. He hates those too! We're on Day 3 of carrots and he seems to be okay with them. After a week (to ensure no allergies), I'm going to try sweet potatoes. Hopefully when I reintroduce applesauce and bananas in a month or so, he'll change his mind!
- Favorite things - standing, bath time, bouncing, flying like superman, mirrors, watching people clap/snap, being tickled and gorging on oatmeal
And the biggest change?! Cole was wished a "Happy 5 Months!" with some tough love :) I started "ferberizing" him yesterday morning. It's essentially a Cry-It-Out Method that helps babies learn how to self-soothe. Two nights before I was up at 1am, 3am and 5am. I had enough of not being able to function during the day and it's my fault. The minute he made a peep at night, I sprang up with food so he wouldn't wake the neighbors. Half the time he probably wasn't even hungry, but I had trained him to need it. It being a long weekend and the downstairs neighbor going away made it the perfect time. Wish us luck!
