Andrew is 5 months

Andrew is 5 months old today. My my my time does fly. This little (but Big) guy is just a bowl of sweet sugar. No sign of stranger danger for him. If someone gives him attention he'll return with a smile and a giggle. Andrew LOVES watching and playing with Addison. He likes to tear her book pages, grab her hair and crack up looking at her, like a good brother should. Addison is all protective older sister. If someone takes his toy at the park, she's there snatching it back and quick to tell them it's "Baby Brodddaaaas!" He started sitting up at 4 1/2 months. Which is AWESOME. It's Mommy's favorite milestone. He's now sitting and reaching for his toys or binky that are just out of reach. Then hollers for help. He's very content on his belly, he just helicopters around. He would much rather sit up, stand or walk in his Mikey Mouse walker. He gets cranky occasionally but bounce him and he'll be back to his goofy self. He turns his head when I call his name and follows wherever I go. He loves a good game of peek a boo. Sleeping in his crib has lead to a sleep regression, or maybe just coincidentally teething, no one knows yet. He used to just wake up at 3am and then 6 or 7. But we've recently had a few nights of waking up every 2 hrs starting at 11pm....yes... that's a minimum of 4x a night without binky fall outs ....WHAT THE HECK! Even as a newborn he slept better. Get your sh*t together baby, Momma needs her beauty rest ;) Andrew is now in 12 months and some 9 and 18months depending on brand. He also is in size 3 diapers, but I'm squeezing him into the rest of my size 2's. Haha we'll see how long that lasts and how many more blow outs I can handle.
