Yes Jaron turned 5 months a few days after Christmas.
The biggest change this month is that he moved to a 4 hour schedule. I LOVE the 4 hour schedule. I was so anxious to do it that I probably did it a couple weeks earlier then I should have but I don't even care. He did great the first few days then it was a bit rough but now it is great again. So he takes a really good long morning nap, then usually a pretty good nap in the afternoon (I wish this was a little bit better but we're adjusting wake times so hopefully it gets better.) And then he takes a 45 min nap around dinner time. The best part is all 3 kids are down for a nap at the same time on this schedule. YAY!
He goes to bed at the same time as the girls now, 8pm and wakes up about 7:15am although I do have to say his needing his binky at night has gotten worse this month. He wakes up around 5:30am for a binky then again at 6:30. Some mornings it's more then that but it's still better then the girls were at this stage where they wanted it up to 7 times a night, all throughout the night.
We also moved him up to 7 ounces for each bottle...a lot compared to my girls who were still drinking 5 and 6 ounces.
Jaron has rolled from his back to tummy but no one has ever witnessed him do it. I left him in the room by himself and came back in to him on his tummy. At first I thought Siena had come into the room and done it but she wasn't paying any attention to him. Then Shane did the same thing with no one even nearby and looked over and Jaron was on his tummy. But we're still waiting to watch him do it. Those are really the only times he's done it.
Jaron has started to sit up already. In fact I took this picture on his 5 month birthday. At 5 months he will only sit up for 10-20 seconds at a time but is doing pretty good.
Jaron is Mr. Social. I don't know if it's because my girls had each other or what, but I don't remember them being like this at this stage...if we all leave the room, even just to the kitchen or where ever, Jaron gets so bugged that we have left him and will let us know pretty fast. Even if he's in his exersaucer or has toys to play with. So he has to join us for lunch, dinner, snacks, etc. I think it's cute that he loves all the interaction and it's good because there is always a lot going on over at our house.
