The Lake Family: 7 and 8 months

I missed the 7 month post, so I will just combine the two months!

Weight:
     Birth:   7 lbs 12.6 oz
     1 month appt: 11 lbs even (80th percentile)
     2 month appt: 13 lbs 13 oz (82nd percentile)
   4 month appt: 15 lbs 10 oz (54th percentile)
     6 month appt: 18 lbs even (60th percentile)
     I have been into the breastfeeding clinic a few times and into the doctor once since his 6 month appt, and he has actually not gained any weight. I am not concerned yet.

Length:
    Birth: 20.5 inches
    1 month appt: 21.75 inches (60th percentile)
    2 month appt: 23.75 inches (81st percentile)
    4 month appt: 26 inches (84th percentile)
    6 month appt: 27.75 inches (91st percentile)
    I have not measured since 6 months

Head circumference:
    Birth: 14.5 inches (36.8 cm)
    1 month appt: 15.25 inches (90th percentile)
    2 month appt: 16 inches (90th percentile)
    4 month appt: 16.75 inches (77th percentile)
    6 month appt: 17.5 inches (83rd percentile)
     I have not measured since 6 months

Clothes: He is mostly in 6-9 month with a few 12 month clothes

Diapers: During late February he moved to size 4 diapers during the night (size 3 during the day) because he kept leaking. When he was leaking a lot during the day in early March, he moved to size 4 diapers full time.

Sleep: Wow....during January and February, sleep was absolutely awful. There was nights that he was up anywhere from 2-5 times during the night. We moved him to his crib downstairs on January 22, not because he was sleeping well, but because I was desperate to try anything. It did not help unfortunately. On our way back from Sharon Springs on Valentine's weekend, he got sick, and we spent the next 4 nights spending most of the night in the chair. Somehow, starting that Thursday night, he started sleeping awesome - waking only once a night. He did this consistently until we went on vacation during spring break. Since we got back from our trip, he has been getting up 2-4 times a night. Hopefully it goes back soon! Naps at daycare are still great, naps at home were all in someone's arms until the last few days. On vacation, he took a lot of naps in his carseat and stroller. He did take a couple naps in his pack and play, and when we got home, he did a few naps in his pack and play again. That is what we will continue to work to.

Eating: The last few months, he has been starting solids. He has been doing pretty well with foods, and seems to like a lot of foods. Sometimes he doesn't want to take the first bite, but then he does good after that.

Teeth: After his first sickness, I felt his first too poking through (bottom left central incisor - approximately Feb 23). I felt his bottom right central incisor poking through on March 20.

Looks: A little more brown hair and his eyes are starting to change with a little brown ring in them.

Milestones: Sitting up, rolling from back to belly

Miscellaneous - Adam is such a happy, easy going baby during the day. He loves smiling, giving kisses, and pulling hair!
