5 Month Check Up

Ryland had his ear infection follow up appt on Friday May 14th which was perfect timing since he was officially 5 months old on May 16th. The Dr appt went great and for the most part both of his ear infections were gone ... he still had a little fluid in his left ear but Dr Loventhal said that it should clear up on its own and no need to start another prescription.

Weight = 14lbs 14 ozs
Height = 25 3/4 inches
Both of these are in the 50th percentile. I think his height measurement was off at his 4 month check up.

I can tell a HUGE difference in his sleeping lately. Which is confirmation that his ear infections are really gone. He slept until 7am this morning. And LOVES sleeping on his stomach.

Tab and I had the CCA banquet last night so dad and grandmother came out to babysit. Ryland was asleep in his crib on his stomach when we got home. We both went in his nursery to say good night and rubbed his back for a little bit. He looked so cute and peaceful ... it was hard for us to not pick him up to kiss on him. Instead Tab held my feet while I leaned over the side of the crib to kiss him :)

And Ryland is determined to sit up. He has been working really hard it lately. When we put him in his bouncey chair he tries his hardest to sit up so I have a feeling that we will not be able to use it for much longer.
