March mommies, how are we doing?

Just wanted to check in and see how everyone else's DC's were doing! Can you believe they're 5 months old already?!

I'll start:

Adam is going to be 5 months old on the 21st. We're still EBFing and going strong. He had his well visit the other day and he's up to 16lbs 6oz and is 26.5" long he's in the 83rd percentile...definitely doesn't get that from DH or me
He's STTN and cat naps during the day. Rolling over both ways now and is babbling/laughing/complaining away! He also recently learned that when he coughs, mommy & daddy pay attention so he is using that to his full advantage, my little drama queen lol. As per my ped, we will be starting rice cereal within the next week or so...I can't believe we're already starting solids!!! Here's a pic of my little man from this past weekend:

What a cutie!!!

DD was 5 months March 1st. She is 14lbs 6ozs and 24.5 inches at her GI, but I think she is longer. Around 40th percentile for both weight and height. We go back for a weight check on 8/25.

She is EBFing, but her GI started her on rice cereal and veggies. She loves her cereal and her peas!

Not STTN, doesn't nap well, but she only woke 1 time last night!!!

She doesn't roll yet. She does sit tripod style and sits unassisted for a short period! She loves her feet and grabs them often

My beauty

What cuties!!!

DS turned 5 months on the 6th, but hasn't had an appointment since his 4 month visit when he was 12lbs 8oz. He definitely feels heavier so I assume he's over 13 lbs now.

We've tried cereal and also bananas with him, but he doesn't quite get it yet so we're going to wait a couple/few more weeks. Once he's 6 months, I'll really try to feed him more, but for now I'm not stressing it.

He has good head control, but hates tummy time. Yesterday was a HUGE day for him. First time he full on laughed out loud (not just a giggle, but a full blown laugh and I got it on video!), he also rolled over belly to back for the first time (did it 3 times!), and he slept for one long stretch!!! I'm PRAYING that continues, but he's always changing his eating and sleeping habits, so I doubt it.

He now grabs toys all on his own which is so fun to see. He also fits into his jumperoo perfectly and finally reaches the floor (no need to put a pillow under him). He tried out the exersaucer yesterday for the first time and he seemed to like it. He LOVES the jumperoo because he likes to bounce, so we'll see how he does with the exersaucer.
