5 Months

This little guy hit 5 months old and will challenge anyone to a staring contest...and pretty much wins every time. He is rolling over a ton and getting so big. For the past couple of weeks he has finally been sleeping through the night. I decided a little cry it out was in order and well the first night only took an hour of crying. Second night was about 30min of crying and then he was good to go after that. Thank goodness! I also stopped doing the dreamfeed (10-11p feed just to top off) and he totally still slept all night. It's amazing how much better I am with sleep. 
I also began introducing solid foods and we aren't sure if he was allergic to rice cereal or if it was esczema but he broke out in a horrible rash all over the trunk of his body. We stopped the cereal and the dr put him on allergy medicine and had us apply a cream 2x a day. The rash went away after a couple of days but then he started to get a little cough and I wasn't sure if it was related so I took him back in to see the dr. He checked out fine though. I think both him and I were just coming down with something because I was feeling stuffy and a sore throat coming on. Even with all the rash a a little cough he is still so happy and good.
