GENERAL: I love you so much, little guy! You are seriously the sweetest, smiley-ist, wiggliest baby! I believe you are 13 pounds 9.5 ounces and I think about 25.25 inches. This might be TMI, but you've had a rough bought of constipation these last few weeks. It's heartbreaking! You love food so much that I think we went overboard in feeding you. I think we are almost back to a good place though. Phew!
SLEEP: Your sleep has been hit or miss…mostly miss, but I won't complain. ;) I was exhausted last week! You were up every 2 hours almost every night! Your usual routine is go to bed around 7:30-8:00, wake up to eat at 1:00, and then again at 5:00, and then you'll sleep until 6:30-7:00ish. You still go down for your morning nap around 9:00 or so and then you nap in the afternoon as well. You've gotten pretty good at putting yourself to sleep when you go down awake BUT you also learned how to pull yourself to a standing position and then you get stuck up there. You'd rather climb than sleep. I think you're going to take after Ben!
EATING: You still love your food! We are doing the baby food pouches, but we also started a few more solids like cheerios and those cheese puff things and yogurt (well, the non-dairy, non-yogurt) melts. You love them all. As mentioned above, you've been a little constipated, so we've backed off the of the yogurt and we've been more on the prunes! We've also given you sips of prune juice and water to help move things along! You love to suck on fruits like watermelon and cantaloupe. You're nursing when I'm home and taking breast milk bottles when I'm gone. I wish you would drink more milk, but it is usually 2, 4-5oz bottles when I'm gone.
COMMUNICATION/COGNITION: You are so fun! You babble and squeal a lot! I wonder if you will be the talker that your big brother is! You seem to be recognizing daddy and me more and you've always been recognizing your brother! You don't like to be left alone in a room. If you're quiet, we can pretty much guarantee you're up to trouble. :)
FINE/GROSS MOTOR: You're on the move! You've been real crawling for a week or 2 now and you have no intention of slowing things down. You are now pulling yourself up on to everything and making me very nervous that you're going to fall! You've taken a few steps when in a standing position, but you sometimes get stuck and you sometimes fall. (But never seem to cry when you fall! I want to!) You are feeding yourself like it's your job. Ben left a plate of goldfish on the table tonight, and you slide the plate over and helped yourself. (Until I stopped that!)
And last but not least, 2 videos of my 7 month old and my 2 year 10 month old love bugs.
Next up will be our first attempt at camping. It was too good not to document the details. ;)
