5 months old

So I'm a week and a few days late of getting Renner weighed and measured, but I did it today. I took Renner to the doctor and he weighed 17 pounds and 11 ounces and measured 26 inches in length. That's a 1 pound 11 ounce and 1/4 inch gain in a month. Not bad, not bad.

He's been pretty cranky every other day since we've been back from vacation. The teething is really bothering him a lot, so we've been giving him teething tablets and Tylenol. Tonight we are going to give him his first taste of banana in a mesh teether. That should be interesting.

We are working on his napping schedule. He's been taking pretty short naps throughout the day but he is sleeping well at night ~ 10 hours.

Renner is rolling over a lot and trying to crawl. He's also sleeping in his crib in his bedroom instead of the pack n' play in our bedroom. The only thing that makes us nervous is that he keeps rolling over to his tummy in the middle of the night. The doctor says that it's no big deal if he sleeps on his tummy once he can roll over both ways, but it still scares us. Another thing he's doing a lot is grabbing for things. I made Mike breakfast in bed and Renner grabbed the muffin and almost knocked it off the plate. Needless to say there were bits and pieces of muffin all over Renner and me. He also is able to hold his bottle by himself. I guess you can say he's becoming quite independent!
