II feel like Wake has changed a ton this last month and I never thought I'd say this, because I can't wait for him to start talking and being able to do more things, but this is definitely an age I wish I could freeze him in. He has just gotten so smiley and obese and those are two of the best qualities of a baby. The first is, of course, being a good sleeper and he has been pretty good for the most part which obviously makes me like him more ha. He, for the most part, goes down right at 8 and wakes up once around 5 and then will go back to sleep for about two more hours and usually naps three times a day. A short nap in the morning, a 2-3 hour nap in the afternoon, and a short nap in the evening. He can only stay awake for about 2-2.5 hours at a time before he starts getting tired. His sleeping did suck pretty bad for about a week and a half right after he turned 5 months because he was busy growing 4 teeth! Yup, the two bottom middle teeth popped up within a couple of days of each other and then his two teeth that should be next to his top, middle teeth popped out about a week later. So, needless to say he looks a little snaggle since he missed growing his front middle teeth first but, luckily, his dad is going to be a dentist ha. This month he
Weighed 18lb 15 oz (76th percentile), was 27.5 inches tall (85th percentile), and his head circumference was 44cm (70th percentile). So he has definitely caught up in the growth department.
Started solids and gags when I give him peas and carrots (saddest/funniest thing ever) but seems to like rice cereal, bananas, prunes, and apples okay.
Still can't sit up on his own but is getting closer all the time.
Wears size 3 diapers and 12-18 month clothing still.
Has started biting the crap out of me when he nurses with those four new choppers of his.
Still doesn't care much for the swing, slide, or pool. Just very indifferent about it.
Here are some pictures of this month:
He started wearing hats and I'm loving it.
This is how I find him when he wakes up from naps. Super pumped usually in his Jersey Shore King zip pity zip of Aunty C's haha.
Don't be deceived. He did not like those nasty peas.
Cutest shirt and tie that Susanne got him.
Not giving a crap about the swings... Maybe he never will. I personally hate them.
Getting him ready for bed... His routine is eat, bathe, story time, counting time, singing time, then eat again, and then bed. Poor kid...
Another couch selfie. I'm clearly more excited than he.
Him getting his shots is getting sadder every time.
