--You dont go to doc till 4 months but we weighed you with dad on our scale and we think you weigh 16 pounds..two pounds up from last month...around the same as Landon was at this age.
--Sleeps in crib in room with cotton jammies and cotten sleep sack..we recently starting keeping your arms out..the first night was rough but now you seem to do just fine. Youre getting close to the weight limit on it so well soon just have to do a unswaddling sleep sack very soon.
--You are getting better with waking up to eat and you usually doze off at the end and I can put you pack in the sleep sack and youll stay asleep or go right back to sleep on your own which is nice before Id have to rock you a bit after putting you in the sleep sack. Makes the middle of night feedings faster. You typically go down for bed bt 7-730 if you dont get a later afternoon nap you lose it by like 630 and can make it harder to get you down for bed. On a good night you wake up around 1 or so eat and go back to bed till around 6 am or so. Bad nights youll wake up around 11-12 and then again at 4..those are rough. Sleep with sound machine and humidifier on. We just bought a breathable crib bumper bc you kept getting your arms stuck in the crib.
--Eats around every 2-3 hours during the day, typically its 2.5-3 hours somtimes youll go 4 if you take a long nap. Still taking naps in your swing.. you can put yourself to sleep in it within 5-10 mins usually...youll sometimes fuss if you are overtired..you can usually stay awake 1.5 hours to 2 hours in bt naps. I need to get you napping in your crib but the attempts ive made havent gone well. Hoping this will get better when you start daycare in a couple of weeks.
--In size 2 diaper but need to go to 3s...trying to use up the last box of 2s..we had to go to 3s at night bc you were leaking..you are starting to have blow outs too so its time, you have been wearing 6 month and 6-9 month clothes.. the 6 month stuff is getting snug already.
--Eats around 4 ounces from a bottle even though he often seems to want more when done. You went on a bottle strike this month and refused bottles altogether..we switched up bottles to dr brown ones (narrower nipple) and you seem to do better with those...i was getting so nervous for daycare. AT night if you are over tired you still wont take the bottle unless you can nurse a bit to calm down first then yoll take the bottle. You can take 4-5 oz usually.
--Getting better at naps will usually be up for an hour in morning and then will nap in your swing for an hour or so and Ill try and get some things around the house down. Youll typically take a longer 2-3 hour nap around lunchtime sometimes youll do this in the morning and then just take little naps in the afternoon.
--Not really digging baths but we have been trying to get rid of your cradle cap with coconut oil and combing it out so it prob hurts and you scream and scream..poor babe. I hope its clearing up. You only get like one bath per week...sorry second child and mostly bc you are so crabby by night time. We need to get better at this.
--Doesn't like pacifiers..weve tried like every kind..you spit it out and dont like it.
--Like to be facing out and see whats going on, getting better at playing on the ground by yourself or with crinkly dog book. You love your playmat first thing in the morning not really after that point. Bought you a sit up chair thing that you like to sit up. Like to stand up on our legs and talk and can kinda sit on your own with help.
--doesnt care for car seat sometimes will cry then fall asleep
--Baby acne cleared..just trying to get rid of your cradle cap.
--Smiling so much more and cooing. its so fun. You are so happy in the mornings and after longer naps. You like to see what is going on at all times. Like to blow bubbles, drooling like crazy. LIke to talk back to us.
--You dont like tummy time but you have got good head control can lift your head up pretty high and you can move in circles but no rolling over yet.. You like to stand if we help you. YOu liked farmers horse too. You like when your brother talks to you..not when he holds you you look puzzled.
--Very active..moves head all around.
--Will suck on thumb or entire hand
--Takes most naps in swing and will fall asleep in there usually unless you are hungry and want to eat.
--Likes to be walked around and facing out to see what is going on.
--Your brother loves to help and help change diapers.
--You had your first halloween as a sea turtle..you hated your custume but looked very cute.
--You tolerate some reading of books now, you like to be sung to-patty cake, if youre happy and you know it, so big.
--You had your baptism this past weekend...you cried though most of it but were happy once church was over. haha We were sitting right by the piano and violin too which were very loud..you dont like loud sounds..even a sneeze will startle you. When you get mad youll pout and stick your bottom lip out.its so heart breaking. haha
--We are still nursing...i find it hard to believe Id have a baby that preferred to nurse over bottles..opposite of Landon.. It has gotten easier after the nipple pain finally went away..sometimes Ill have some pain on the one. You can def latch a lot better..you seem to eat very fast too usually only 5-10 mins and you are full. If you are very tired and upset its the only thing that will comfort you. Im not looking forward to the non stop pumping when I go back to work. Ive built up some sort of a freezer stash so that will be nice.
--I only have a couple weeks left with you at home before I go back to work:( I had a longer leave with you then Landon but it still has gone by soooo fast. I will miss my days with you but it will be nice to get back into a routine. I know you will like seeing other babies and having fun things to do too. Excited to see all the things you will learn this month.
--You are really grabbing toys and onto things...blankets my shirt etc..you are so strong!!
