5 months old

Rian wearing his St.Patricks day tee yesterday! He's so patriotic!

Age:
 5 months & 2 weeks

Clothes size: 
6-9! Ive noticed this size can vary a lot from shop to shop! so annoying! Penneys size 6-9 is tiny compared to Next's 6-9.. which is more true to size I think!! Rian's a big boy! :P

Sleep:
 Not so good the last while.. Rian keeps waking up in the early hours fussing.. kicking the sides of the cot and kicking off his blankets.. I think it might be down to his teething getting more intense! Poor bugger! Some nights he ends up coming into my bed! He loves his mommy!! *smug grin* :P
He will have a bottle between 5-8 and go straight back to sleep til around 9! 

Feeding:

Breakfast:
5-8am: Bottle of milk
9-11am: organic baby rice/mashed banana & half of a bottle
Lunch:
1-2pm: pot of 100% fruit puree by Cow&Gate (they are very yummy!!)
4pm-ish: Bottle of milk
Dinner:
5:30-6:30: One of the many choices of Ella's Kitchen organic packets. He will have half of one of the bigger packets! Loves them all! and I love giving them to him! Cause they are made from organic fruit and veg and nothing else :) 
Supper:
7-8pm: Last bottle before bed :) 

New Things:
Rian has gotten so much stronger! He loves sitting up or standing up (aided of course) and looking around. It's save to say he's the nosiest baby I've ever come across! He is so so good when we are out too and never cries and rarely complains! He just loves people watching! His grasping objects is getting better! (everything going to his mouth haha). He is also a lot more alert and turns to people talking to him or calling his name. Everyone has commented on him following my every move when I'm not holding him! He never cries after me just has an eye on my at all times... so cute! He has come on a long way with his food too! He LOVES his food and is always watching me eating anything.. Makes me feel so guilty he cant have my food! He even loves to chew on half a Farley's Rusk! He doesnt really swallow the bits that break off but it's great for his teething! :)

Things coming up in the next month:
TURNING 6 MONTHS! omg the time has flown :( my little baby boy is getting so big! 
Mothers day... He better get me something!!! :P
I want to get Rian a new buggy too soon.. The one he has (a Quinny) is so heavy to carry.. the seat part is huge.. and I KEEP getting electric shocks whenever I use it.. Like off every object I touch.. and people.. Ive even given Rian a few electric shocks!! Its so annoying and weird! But it definetly is only when I use the Quinny buggy...Ironically called The Quinny ''Zapp'' HAHA! :P 
I also am convinced Rian will get his first tooth very soon! And I think he will be able to sit up unaided by 6 months! eeek so exciting! I remember when he was a floppy vegetable haha! 

Rian experincing sun for the first time haha! Problems of a winter baby!

OOTD

Cardigan/penny's 
Scarf/can't remember :P
Skirt/penny's 
Black tights & black vest 
Excuse my face I had removed my make up at that point in the night haha! 

I love this cardigan!! It was only 14euro! I bought it hungover haha with a few things for RĂ­an and forgot I'd gotten it for ages! It's so comfy! The arms are sort of batwinged! It's an unusual grey! When I bought it in my hungover state, I thought it was a lilac colour! In some lights it does look lilac! Which is why I put on a lilac scarf with it haha! Love that colour! I got that scarf a few years ago it comes out every spring! Always get compliments in the colour! 



The skirt is very light black linen kind of material with cute little white heart detailing.. It also has buttons down the front! You kinda need to wear a long vest or something under it especially in the colder weather! I've a long black vest on underneath! And of course black tights! :) 


I had on all my silver Alex and ani bracelets today! I need to get some more silver ones as I tend to wear them a lot more than the gold!
