How old is your baby? 3.5 mos

Baby's temperament? Happy most of the day. Loves attention, he gets grumpy in the evenings and he HATES the car. It's always fun driving around with a screaming baby.

How's the older sib doing? Great. She is giving lots of attention lately. She tickles his feet and helps to wash him in the tub. She likes to put on my nursing cover and carry her baby doll around underneath.

Any new baby gear with this baby you love? I love my double stroller and moby wrap. Use them way more than I thought I would.

Any new baby tricks? He's rolling front to back and giggling.

Sleep? He's sleeping great at night. Going to bed around 8:15, waking around 5am and back to bed until 7:30 or 8. He rarely actually naps during the day. He will sleep 20 minutes 3 times a day, with usually 1 random longer nap. Of course he never sleeps during DD's nap.

3.5 months already, wow!  Does it feel like it is going more slowly or quickly than time did when DD was a newborn?

It's going way quicker! It's sad actually.

How old is your baby? 5 months

Baby's temperament? Sooooooo easygoing and mellow.

How's the older sib doing?  Wonderful.  He loves him to pieces.  My favorite is how he will say "baby brother baby brother" at dinnertime, and when they take baths together.  Love it.  

Any new baby gear with this baby you love?  Woven wraps.

Any new baby tricks?  He's a rolly polly, and he has put himself to sleep a few times...something his big brother still has yet to do =/

Sleep?  Amazing.  Started sleeping through the night at 6 weeks.  6-10 hour stretches.  From 4-5 months, he regressed to waking every 3 hours to eat, but the last week or so, he goes to bed (easily) at around 7, wakes to eat at 1am, and then 5:30 or so...sometimes he's up for the day at 5:30, sometimes back to sleep until 6:30.  He's a remarkably good sleeper compared to his brother.  We wake up on average 3 times every single night with our 20 month old, and once with our 5 month old.  It's crazy, they are SO different.
