Weight: I haven't been in to have him weighed in a long time, but last night we weighed him on our scale at home and he was about 20 and 1/2 pounds.
Clothes: Same as last month, mostly 6-9's with a few 6 month and a few 12 month clothes....I still wish clothes were a common size. It is still sad to me whenever he grows out of my favorite outfits! He is wearing pampers size 3 diapers during the day, and pampers size 4 during the night. He also wears target size 3 during the day, but babies r us had a huge sale on pampers the other day, we so stocked up on those!
Sleep: Oh sleep...there were times this month where I was despising night times, because I had no idea what they would bring. The one positive we have usually had is that after I nurse him in the evenings, he would fall asleep right away. This didn't happen a few times this month, which just made the night wake ups even worse. He has been up to eat about 2 times during the night this month, but luckily for the most part once he eats, he goes right back to sleep. I have considered trying to get him to go back to sleep without eating, but this momma needs her sleep with working full time, and just simply feeding him is so much easier! He usually goes to bed around 7 pm and a good morning is when he sleeps until I have to wake him up at 6:40 to get ready for the day.
Eating: Still going strong with breastfeeding and solids!! He eats about 12-16 oz at daycare while I am at work and then 4 -5times with me at home. He eats a meal of solids at lunch and dinner each about an hour after a bottle or nursing session to make sure he keeps up with the nursing. I am having trouble keeping up with pumping at work, but luckily I have enough of a stash built up that we are ok for now. One of the reasons I think he has been up so much at night is that he is so busy during the day it is a huge inconvenience for him to have to stop to drink a bottle. We still want breastmilk to be his main nutrition, so we want to offer it before meals, not with meals. If we let him, he would totally eat solids, he loves them!!
Looks: A little more blonde hair, and the most beautiful blue eyes I have ever seen.
Milestones: He isn't crawling yet, but he is doing what I like to call the "worm" (he can get anywhere he wants, and fairly quickly as well). He also can go from sitting to his stomach quite easily.
Firsts: many new foods, playing in the grass
What we are looking forward to: family wedding this weekend and new baby cousin on the way
What we are dreading: still waiting for more teeth!
Favorite moment this month - watching him interact with all the people around him and be so aware of what is going on. He is such a flirt with waitresses and loves kids!
Food that he eats - He loves food (which isn't shocking considering how much his parents love food, haha!) He has eaten every thing we given him without much of a fight. New foods this month have been oatmeal, peas, butternut squash, mango, plums, puffs, and yellow squash. He is getting so much better at eating the puffs.
