5 months

• During the first week, Dillon finally gets into a predictable sleep pattern which follows:
  
  wake up between 7-8am
  nap #1 10am
  nap #2 1:30pm
  nap #3 5pm
  bedtime 7:30-8:30pm
  
  During the day he sleeps about 3-3,5 hours in total. In the morning he usually wakes up with a big smile, but becomes grumpy and fussy towards the end of the day. He still wakes up frequently during the night...almost every 2,5 hours. Sometimes he groans and whimpers, as if he suffers from stomach ache and it's very hard to soothe him. But the important part is that he finally naps longer than 40 minutes! I'm very glad about that as it gives me enough time to cook in the morning and to do something for myself.
  Unfortunately, this pattern disappears again when he has a bad day...
  And so there are more bad days that followed than good days...
• in the middle of the month he suddenly rolls around like a pro. As long as there is something interesting to reach for, he rolls onto his tummy with ease...only to the right side though
• he does sit-ups all the time when lying on his back...does that indicate stomach ache?
• he cries during feeding...what in god's name is bothering him??
• he gains weight very slowly...6.9kg on the day he turns 6 months
• he becomes very active when I change diapers...rolling around and reaching out for things

3-4 months

• there are a few nights in which I sleep well, with only one or twice waking up for milk
• in week 10 I start laughing and cooing to mama. She loved it!
• I can finally move my hands according to my wish. I can rub my eyes and suck on my hands too!
• from 3,5 months on I start to sleep worse again and I feel very grumpy. I always have bowel cramps around dinner time and I feel restless during feeding times. I ache my back and push my head back while whimpering.
• in week 14 I refuse to eat and also are unable to fall asleep. mama is so angry at me! She needs four hours to get me to sleep for half hour...I'm so tired!
• I hate swaddling but I can't sleep without it. And where is my pacifier?
• I sleep on average 11-12 hours, bring on the rocking and shushing!
• development: I can bring toys to my mouth and suck on them; I can also roll from my back to my tummy, and vice versa, but I don't feel the need to do that.
• around 4,5 months I have stomach flu and have to stay one night in the hospital. mama and papa both got ill as well.
• I can scream mama when I'm in great discomfort or hunger.
• in month 4 I have started on solid foods.
  I like:pumpkin, raspberry, apple/pear
  I dislike: avocado, broccoli
  I don't know for sure yet: beetroot, carrot

1-2 months

on 5 September 2015, I fell so much movement and noise while I was sleeping that I had scratch open the water bag I was floating in. I was scared, car sick, and I wanted out! Turned out mom was dancing furiously because I was supposedly one day overdue...pfff
I was so scared and fell miserable that I even pooped!
The next thing I knew I was being squeezed out of a narrow tunnel and ouch! It was so bright I couldn't open my eyes.
But I heard a familiar voice and I opened my eyes....ouch still too bright!

• I slept a lot, and everywhere...in the pram, on papa's chest, in mama's arms, and in my own crib
• I had bouts of tummy cramps...ouch!
• My arms moved strangely and uncoordinated
• I had a grow spurt around 6 weeks and slept a lot
• in week 7-8 I started to eat less often, from 7-8 times to 5-6 times, breastfeeding exclusively
• I seemed to be very sensitive and had trouble falling asleep and staying asleep. I woke up multiple times, crying in pain or in hunger...
• I hate bathing and diaper changing
• In week 9 I have found my hands and I love examining them
• I can lift my head easily in early month 2
