Approaching 5 Months

Liam will be 5 months old this Saturday. Wow, 5 months. Time is flying by; Liam is growing way too fast. 

Liam is still exclusively breastfed. We plan to wait until he is six months to introduce solids. I am still unemployed and home with him all day. Our typical day goes like this: 

4:30 a.m.: Wake up, nurse, go back to bed
6:30 a.m.: Wake up for the day, change diaper, mom eats breakfast while Liam sits in his bouncy seat
7:30 a.m.: Nurse
8:00 a.m.: Floor time (tummy time, play with Oball, floor mirror, name different stuffed animals, etc.)
9:00 a.m.: Nap for about 30 to 45 minutes
9:45 a.m.: Change diaper, then more floor time, encourage Liam to roll over, sing songs, play peek-a-boo, watch the dogs wrestle in the kitchen
10:30 a.m.: Nurse
11:00 a.m.: Jumperoo time while Mommy preps food for dinner (marinate meat, chop veggies, etc.)
11:20 a.m.: Hang out in Liam's crib, looking at the stim mobile, playing with the crib piano, etc. 
12:00 p.m.: Back to the living room for quieter floor time; nurse
12:30 p.m.: Nap; Mommy eats lunch and has a quick shower
1:30 p.m.: Change diaper, take the dogs out for a walk (if weather is nice, we use a baby carrier; if not, we use the City Mini)
2:30 p.m.: Run errands, or hang out in the living room singing songs, playing with the dogs, reading stories, e,tc. 
3:30 p.m.: Nurse, then nap
4:30 p.m.: More jumperoo time while Mommy starts dinner
5:00 p.m.: Daddy comes home and plays with Liam while Mommy finishes dinner
7:00 p.m.: Bath, then lotion massage, then nurse, then bedtime

Developmental milestones we're looking for: passing toys from hand-to-hand; responding when someone says his name; playing with his feet
