Well, you are nine days away from turning five months...so, we are just going to combine these posts....I kept waiting for your four month check up to update, and that was last week....which you were almost to five months anyways ;) you are getting to be quite the big boy! Just so much older and doing things...you are almost a month from being a half a year old!
I love how you sleep like this with your sweet hands folded by your face :)
At the doctors office you weighed 14.1 pounds, which is the 22nd percentile and 26.5 inches long, the 77 percentile. So, you're long and skinny :) Dr Nichols did suggest maybe starting you on rice cereal to help you gain some weight, which I didn't really want to do...but you have been watching us eat like a hawk. So,I felt bad, since you were showing signs of interest. So, we tried it on February 12 and you loved it! Ate it all...I couldn't feed it to you fast enough :) and then you had a bath ;)
You are not sleeping very well....you do not like to be out down...so you are pretty much sleeping with me all night....and it feels like you eat all night too....Dr. Nichols said you should be able to sleep through the night without eating, so we could let you cry it out...which watch out...because I think I'm ready to sleep train you come spring break. I just can't now, because it will result in less sleep for me which I cannot function with work and two kiddos on less sleep than I'm getting now. That might sound selfish, but really it's for the good of you two kiddos and my students ;)
Look at how cute you are!
You discovered your feet this last month. You would always play with your boots, or grab your bar, and when you were free you would look at your feet very confused.
You rolled over for the first time on January 2nd! You threw your boots in the air and flipped over. You have rolled back to belly many times....but you have not gone belly to back....and you have not rolled over without your brace on...but you were super close the other night.
You can sit up on your own. You're really good at it with your brace on, it helps you stabilize, but you have learned quickly how to continue sitting up even without it! You have such string abs from your brace! You can pretty much use those abs to go from a reclined position to a sitting position!
Your schedule, you wake up for the day about 6:15/6:30 then you eat around 8:30, take a nap around 10, wake around 12:00, eat around 1, nap for a short time sometime in the afternoon...then you eat about 4, nap for thirty minutes around 6, eat around 7, bed around 8, wake around 10 or 11 and eat, then you stay sleeping with me until about 4, and you eat off an on all night.
I really don't think you're hungry....you're just trying to soothe and comfort....which is really frustrating to me. I wish you would take a pacifier! But, like I said, we will be working on your sleeping over spring break!
You are such a happy baby! Mostly smiling! You love your sister! You get mad when we lay you down because you want to sit up and watch her play! She does get loud at times, which startles you but you love her!
You prefer to sit up and watch the action. You prefer to stand or sit so much that I worry about you and you ability to be mobile. You don't like to lay on the floor and play so I'm worried you won't learn to roll and crawl ;) I'm sure you will...but I do like to lay you down as much as possible :)
You are in three to six month clothing. You do wear some six month clothing. Three month clothing is good on the size...it's just too short.
You just discovered your tongue. You stick it out all day long. And you like to blow spit bubbles and raspberries! It is so cute!
You are so sweet! I love you more than you'll ever know...I excited to watch you continue to grow and learn!
I love you!
Mommy
