5 months after Birth

Sounds very fast but it is. Time is ticking quick. I need to write down the things that happened since my last post.

So Baby Yanis is growing. His still a peanut. Length of 24 inch, weight 13 lbs and eats averaging 19 oz. Not a very drastic growth and weight but his following his own curve so I don't have much concern. As long as his eating and healthy, I don't think I have to worry.

For motor skills development, his spot on. Before he turned 4 months, he was able to roll over from back to tummy and a few weeks after that before reaching his 5th month he was able to roll over from tummy to back. His able to sit with assistance, reaching toes with his hands, smile a lot when you sing to him, talks back in his own language, sings to you when his focus or when his sleepy, giggle abundantly right before he sleep when tickle, tasting and biting fingers exploring his food senses, and can reach toys with less wobbly. His a very smart baby. He imitates what I will teach him to do. I really am very happy of his progress.

I wish he will continue to grow more and hope he can catch up on others. His mental development that I was so concerned about is so no longer my worry because I saw his very intelligent. I just wish for more better report the next time he will be at the doctor's office. But I guess if the doctor is happy, maybe I should take that and not to worry anymore. Sometimes, I just can't help it.

As for me, my weight is lesser than my pre-pregnancy weight which is really good. I am not doing any exercise at all and most of the time, I am home alone during the day with the baby. Hubby does come home at lunch so it's comforting when his around. Generally, I take care most of Yanis' feeding, changing diaper and bathing. I can sleep for 5 hours now provided my insomnia will not going to visit me. Yanis' bedtime usually falls between 9-10pm and only wake up at 1-3am to feed. Hubby does take care of that so that's where I get most of my straight hours of bedtime. I am still a little tired during feeding because he still eats between 2.5hrs to 3hrs with 60ml-90ml. I wish he can take more so less feeding but it's okay. As long as his eating, I should not complain. He takes 3-4 naps a day which I can spend a little time of myself but I wish he can take 2 and long hours so I could have more time to do something for myself. One day, I know he will change. For now, I am better and I am content.
