Ava 5 Months

At 5 months old, Ava was finally in her own bedroom and sleeping better at night.  Rob and I were sleeping better at night, too!  The early mornings, however, proved more difficult.  With transitioning Ava into her own room, it necessitated transitioning Jameson out of the crib and into a big boy bed (double sized mattress and box spring on the floor).  While getting Jameson down at bedtime seemed almost too easy, his early rising was the opposite.  It would take Jameson about 5 weeks to move his rising time from 5am to 7am.  With being in her own room, Ava still occasionally needed two feedings (midnight and 4ish), but she had a similar bedtime and morning wake time as Jameson (7pm-7am).  We looked forward to Ava's sleep times improving even more upon adding solids at 6 months.

Ava's getting stronger and stronger, but still doesn't like tummy time or rolling over.  She enjoys her brother coming over and giving her his attention and he loves her reactions!
