Weight: 15 pounds 5 ounces(approx)
Height: 26 to 27 inches (Mommy can't get you still enough to measure)
Feedings
We've made it to the point that you are mostly on formula. This breaks mommy's heart as I have loved breastfeeding you! Sometimes when we're home (especially weekends) you will nurse and nurse and you do so good, but you always have to be topped off with formula. Because of this, I continue to pump for you, and while it's very little, it's something.
You know what your bottle is with no problem at all! You grab for it as soon as you see it and you're basically feeding yourself these days since you've got that bottle holding thing down!
We tried to start some oatmeal and baby food earlier this month; you hadn't quite figured out what to do with the food or your tongue yet so we'll try again here soon. The last several days mommy and daddy have shared our mashed potatoes with you and you seem to really like them; guess we'll bust out the spoon again! Plus, you've been very interested in our food and are always trying to grab it off our plates!
Trying some 'nanners!
Sleeping
You are officially in your crib! We put you to sleep between 9 and 10 every night and you don't get up until 6:30 or 7 when we wake you up to get going for the day! Some nights you fuss a few times during the night but mostly because you've lost your bink; you're not even really awake when you have these meltdowns but mommy or daddy still gets up to attend to you.
You do fight off your naps though; you just insist on being in on the action going on around you! But when you do nap, you nap hard! Usually an hour or so, at least while with me. And you usually give up the ghost as soon as we get in the car!
We're not sure how you manage this rotation?!
But we love waking up to these smiles!!
Clothes/Diapers
You still fit into most of your 0-3 month clothes! You've outgrown your 0-3 month jammies so we've switched you over to 3-6 month jammies. You're wearing more and more of your 3-6 month clothes but some brands are just monstrously huge!! Mommy cleaned out most of your 0-3's that definitely don't fit and put them in the "pack away" pile.
You're still in size 1 diapers; we have one last opened pack left and you're definitely going to be graduating to 2's! We STILL haven't bought a single pack of diapers or wipes! Daddy's Beer & Diaper party was a huge success and we'll be using those diapers for quite some time!
These overalls were mommy's!! You're the top photo, mommy is bottom!
Teeth
Nope, no teeth yet! But by the amount of drool you produce and how much you love to chew on anything you can get your mouth on, I think those are coming soon! At least we hope so!
Milestones
You are still talking up quite the storm. You tell us all about it all the time! Also, you've started trully laughing and gigling at things; Miss Amy caught it on video and mommy watches it over and over again because it's the sweetest sound I've ever heard!
You are able to sit up in your Bumbo and you will pull up to sit from laying down but you haven't quite mastered sitting up all by yourself yet. But you're a really great supported sitter!
This month we've noticed you are starting to hold your toys, reach out for them and actually play with them; this amazes your daddy, he says he could watch you grab your toys and play all day long! Your hand-eye coordination is pretty great!
My favorite thing to watch you do is grab hold of your feet. You love them! You'll grab on to them, examine them, chew on them...everything you can do with your feet you are doing it! Of course, mommy encourages this too; when you're not grabbing your own feet I'm putting them in your face to get a big laugh out of you! I can't help it, I love the sound of your laugh!
As for movement, you are trying so hard! You will push up with your butt and arms and try to get going! Mommy calls this the "high-centered turtle" move! You'll also pull yourself around, I can lay you down and 5 seconds later you'll have yourself rotated 90 degrees!! There are mornings I'll find you turned completely around in your crib! Not sure how you do it, but it's pretty amazing! Oh, and you're still rolling back to tummy like a boss!
