Hutch 5 Months

Hutch is 5 months old! 5 months of sweet snuggles from this adorable guy, 5 months of fighting over who gets to hold him, 5 months of my heart feeling like it can't contain anymore cuteness. We all love him more and more every day! 

Hutch is still 12.5 lbs and in the 1% for weight (the neighbor baby is 6 weeks older than Hutch and 21 lbs... so yeah Hutch is small). The Dr isn't concerned since he's staying on track. He is just going to be a small guy. Someone has to be in the 1% for weight, so I guess Hutch will be that guy. 

Loves- taking baths, being held or being in the carrier, being tickled, watching his brothers play, and snuggling. 

Hates- the car or car seat (although he is getting better), being left alone or playing on the ground by himself. That's pretty much it. He is a very happy baby! 

He is still the sweetest easy going baby. He will go with the flow very easily and nap on the go if needed. His naps have been a lot better and he's been taking longer naps (hallelujah!). 

We also had a stretch (like 2 months worth) of really bad sleeping, he was getting up 3-6 times per night. We were exhausted!! I pushed back his feeding schedule to every 4 hours and he has started sleeping a LOT better since. Since the switch he's been getting up once per night. On the weekends I like to trick Matt and tell him to take the first feeding and I'll take the second feeding. Of course hoping that Hutch will only be up once and I'll get to sleep through the night. So far its been in my favor, although Matt is catching on. 

Hutch has now started on solids. He's only had a few things so far, bananas, sweet potato and rice cereal. He hasn't figured it out yet, so we are just experimenting for now. 

Hutch has really been loving the bath. he loves to stretch out and kick all over the tub. He splashes and gets water all over himself and loves it. And of course always ends up peeing all over himself too. 

Hutch also had his first hair cut this month as well! He still had all the newborn hair on the back of his head, one side was completely rubbed off leaving the other side really patchy. So we shaved it to even it up. I put his first hair cut trimmings in a bag to save and I left it on the counter. The boys found it, opened it, and dumped it all over the kitchen. So there is no physical proof of Hutch's first hair cut, sorry Hutch. 

He has been very interactive lately. He loves to watch his brothers and will just stare at them until they will look at him, then he will get a big smile on his face and squeal. Its the cutest thing! He shares his smiles with everyone too, and definitely has that Kirk charm. 

It was also Hutch's first Halloween! We had a lot of fun (see our October recap). He was a super cute dalmatian puppy, and tolerated his costume. 

Each month gets better and better with this cute little guy! Can't wait to experience Hutch's first holiday season!
