Although we haven't reached the 5 month mark yet, I've decided to do a post about Monty again because it seems like he is just getting to be such a handsome little man with a ton of personality quirks.
For a little while now he has been playing the game of "scream my head off every time I need to burp or I'm out of food to eat". He has become a P.I.G. - PIG! He is up to eating around 8 ounces in the morning, then again around noonish, followed by an afternoon snack (watermelon, banana, cantaloupe etc.), then another 8 ounces. Then tops the night off with some rice cereal and MORE milk. The kid just eats and eats and eats. I will give him credit for going around 4 hours in between meals, but still - it seems like he eats soooo much.
I also think he is cutting teeth because he has been cranky during the day lately. Who really knows though? Sometimes I think I can see a little white tooth coming in - then I'll check again and they'll be nothing. I've considered the fact that he might have "floating teeth" but I don't really know. If you compare him to the family he is a little behind on getting some teeth. My brother and I had two teeth by 4 months old, and my brother's kids had teeth by the 3 month mark. But every baby is different!
He also "talks" which really means "screams" a lot now. He does it more and more each day - if that is even possible. I wish I could record it - maybe I'll try that later :-)
He laughs all the time now and is always smiling. which leads me to what I call his mood swings. It's no exaggeration to say that he can be laughing, smiling and crying all at the same time. He can go from being a happy baby to a mad baby in less than a second. But its all fun!
