My little man is officially no longer an infant. It's so hard to believe. He is getting so big and his little personality is starting to show. He is full of squeals, still pretty laid back, and a big momma's boy! I'll gladly take it though! Here are the stats for this month:
Weight
- 18 pounds 8 ounces (the same weight c was at 5 mos)
Appearance
- Still losing lots of his hair (has a bald spot in the back from rolling his head around)
- Rolly arms, legs, and wrists
- Very thick thighs
- Starting to get longer his Buddha belly is going away some.
- Very small "nubs" or feet
- Eyes are still not completely brown but very close
- Size 3
Clothes
- 6-9 months
- particular about his pj's
Paci
- not crazy about it, but takes it some throughout the day.
- Won't take it at all at night (this might be a blessing later)
Tummy time
- Doesn't just love it, we make him have it.
- He is very close to rolling from his back to his tummy.
- Great head control this month (I can finally hold him on my hip some)
Naps
- Pretty much down to 3 a day sometimes he naps in the early evening if he's really tired.
- Noises bother him more than they used to
Eating
- Still eating every 2-2.5 hours during the day.
- He drinks 4 ounce bottles of breastmilk when I'm at work
- Nurses every hour when I get home from work (I guess he misses me, ha)
- Eats 4 ounces at a time and slits up 6 ha!
Night night
- Now sleeping in his pack and play.
- Goes to sleep between 8 and 9 most nights
- Starting waking up multiple times a night to eat again :( between him and c cutting his molars I'm not getting much sleep. I think r has been going through a growth spurt
- Wakes up for good around 7
- HAPPY in the morning
New discoveries
- Lots of droll
- Rolling to his side and following us with his head
- Chewing on his hands or anything he can reach
- Starting to reach for things on his play mat
Happenings
- Thanksgiving- we went to Jacksonville and Tilly to celebrate thanksgiving this year. It was a busy two days, but great seeing so much family.
- Christmas parade- we got the opportunity to ride in the fire truck with. Daddy this year. C had a blast and Rhett was an angel and slept through it all.
- Photos- the boys got to tag along while I took pics of several different friends and family. We really enjoyed getting to take my friend Tiffany's maternity pics. Rhett can't wait to meet Chapp.
- Out to eat- we went out to eat several times this month and r is so much easier to deal with that c was at this age. I know this will change but it's nice now!
