Our littlest Knox turned 5 months old January 1st! This is quite a
bit late, but I didn't want to miss posting it completely.
Knox has grown so damn much this past month, I honestly can't believe it. The measurements in the picture above are an estimate but I'll say their decently close. 2 whole inches & 2 whole pounds! He's on his last box of size 2 diapers & just this past week he is now completely in 6-9/6-12M clothes. (Oh my)!
Today he rolled over from his back to his belly! Usually he gets stuck on his side, but he didn't this time & he was so happy. He can now roll belly to back & vice versa, & from either side! He loves playing on his belly too.
He's developing such the personality; he gets bored very easily & will throw little tantrums untill you can find something to keep him busy again. He NEVER stays still during diaper changes anymore & always wants to roll over, it's brought a whole new challenge to changing him.
He actually lost some hair in some weird places (middle back, sides, & the front); it was falling out like crazy! But the past two weeks it's completely stopped & his hair is already growing back. (He's also grown quite the eyebrows)!
He loves to make funny faces & copy our expressions, he has this new thing where he'll open & close his mouth a bunch but make no sound. He seem to be ready for food as well. He observes us eat & shows lots of interest, I can't believe we're starting him on solids in less than a month!
He's super particulier as well, it can be annoying but very cute. He hasn't been that cuddly this past month & he just wants to play, but this past week he's been more cuddly & it's made me so happy. (I missed his cuddles so much).
Although this past month has been tough on us both due to my supply dropping, so we've been having to mainly formula feed which has made me feel defeated. Getting a fever from his 4M vaccine, getting his first cold a couple weeks ago which was just terrible to see, it is always so great no matter the struggles. (Even if there is some 'mummy moments').
This is also my last month as a stay at home mum so I'm trying to make the most of it. It's a love/hate thing going on inside me as I'll be putting him into daycare. Even though he'll be in the same building as me, I'll terribly miss him.
I love you so much Knox, I can't believe you're almost 6 months old already. You're growing so fast physically & mentally it blows my mind. As always, a part of me wants you to stay my little Knox forever. But another part of me is seeing the amazing personality you've developed & I can't wait to see more. You're my whole world Knox, That's why I can't stop posting about you (I'm so proud). You're my little who started it all.
