Week 19-6 months

I'm sorry for your lack of not writing, it's been a handful with you guys and I have forgotten but I am catching up no.
4/10 two bottom teeth are coming in! Early May your top teeth have started coming in.
You are on your tummy now when you sleep and tonight 5/27 you had your butt in the air when you were sleeping! So cuteeee.


We had your 6 month dr appointment with Dr. Mason and here are your stats:
18lbs 8oz, 27 3/4in length, 44 1/2in head circumference.


We started you on rice cereal just before your 6 month appointment so we could report to the dr how you were doing. Your first food was avocado and now we are on broccoli that I mix with rice cereal. You love that!

Week 18

You started blowing bubbles and copying us when we do it! Actually, daddy started that with you. He seems to be able to get you to do it more then I can. You are such a sweet baby and your brother loves to see you, hold your hand and give you a kiss. The swaddler isn't holding you in at night but it seems to be fine. I'm going to try out a new one that should work so you don't get it all tangled around you.
you can touch your toe!

Week 17

It looks like mommy got you sick and a doozy too. You had a borderline fever last Saturday night but thankfully you were still your usual self all smiley so we knew you were ok. You have quite a nasty cough  but you are hangin' in there pretty well and still sleeping well at night. I can't believe it still. Sleeping from about 8pm - 5/5:30am. Yeah for me!
As I am going through all of these 3 month clothes that you haven't worn and now you definitely won't because you don't fit into them. On to the 3-6mo or even 6mo clothes for you!


Daddy put this mirror out for you to see yourself just like he did when your brother was your age. You sit there so quietly looking at yourself. It's really sweet to watch and, of course, I had to get a picture.

Week 16

Your 4 month doctor's appointment with Dr. Mason went very well (minus the shots).
You weigh 15lbs 12.5oz, 25 3/4 height and head is 42 1/2. You definitely had a rough night of sleep due to the shot I presume. But you didn't wake up crying, you wake up chatting and screaming just to hear yourself. Entertaining? yes. At 3 am? Not so much.
Since then you have been doing shorter naps because you love to hear the sound of your voice. I can't believe how much noise you make. I definitely have it on video to remember this and to embarrass you later in life, of course. :) You are putting your hands in your mouth, rather your fist and the drooling has started.

You had to have two shots and the liquid as well. Not a happy camper after the 2nd shot it made me so sad to see you cry but I held you nice and tight in my arms and you were fine in no time. But tough night of sleep last night. Were you chatting it up, yelling and grunting in your room for an hour 'til you fell back to sleep haaa I sure hope you sleep tonight!

Week 15

Ok now you are back to sleeping through the night again! So excited about that. You fall asleep around 8 and don't wake up til 8am or even closer to 9am/10am. I am kind of surprised you are already able to sleep so much through the night. You've had quite a rash on your face and head lately. I put socks on your hands and you end up rubbing your head too hard that it bled a little bit. Got some cream for you and it's all good to go now.
I actually made you crack up when I tickled you under your chin. Only once ha but still it was hilarious.

Week 14

Ok so you're back to not sleeping through the night (last night you did from 8:30pm-4:20am so I can't complain). you are still as happy as ever. You wake up all smiles, you are still coo'ing soooo much it's fun to engage with you to do more!

Week 13

well we were surprised that you have been sleeping through the night for the past four nights! Literally 10-12hrs a night! What a shock! You are suchhhh a happy, smiley baby that lovesss to talk. You are getting bigger and bigger each day. We'll be hanging out with Devin and the kids next door and you won't eat, you'd rather watch and hear them play. Really cute.

I always seem to take serious pics of you so I decided to get you laughing and take a pic with my phone. Love you kid!

Week 12

I've started some sleep training so we can get you on track with naps and sleeping through the night. This is going to be hard because I need to be on the go during the day with your brother. We'll see how it goes. In the end, I just hope you can nap during the day no matter where we are and that you can sleep through the night.


Your lip points forward when you are coo'ing at us. You can really talk up a storm! You are totally smiling it up at your brother and he cracks up. You were both just in your crib hangin' out and Devin just sang itsy bitsy spider to you. Sooo cute.

Week 11

You have been sleeping more at night, yeah!! 7-8hrs! Last night 2/8 I decided to do your first night in your room and you slept all night!From 9pm-almost 6am. I went to check on you and were you just lying there awake in your swaddle as happy as a clam. Stretching and smiling as I opened up the swaddle. I hope this means sleep training will go well :) You are sitting up more on your own and  a loooottt more cooing. Your upper lip points forward when you coo. It's so darn cute! We love you!!

Week 10 starts 25th

This past week has been a bit hectic with mommy getting sick. Lots going on at the moment. You are cooing more and following me when I move. You definitely love the fish in the swing and enjoy following them as well.

Week 9

You have been throwing up a bit more. I think it is because you have eaten too much or haven't burped or maybe both. But you throw it up and no crying or anything. It definitely doesn't phase you.
Still more smiling and a bit of laughing now. Your eyes go into these half moons like a Wii character. It's super cute. You are getting so much bigger and heavier. Just weighing you at home, if the scale is correct, you are about 12lbs.
You started a little pout just before you are about to cry which is similar to what your brother did when he was a baby.
1/14 You looked at your hand to check it out and put it in your mouth/
1/17 Dr. appt today with Dr. Mason (your brother too)

11.5lbs 231/2in
Head circumference is 50%-75%
Weight 50%
Height 75%

Your brother likes to give you things. It's funny to see when you are in your swing or carseat what will end up in there. :)

Week 8

You are using the bumbo now since you can hold your head up pretty nicely. I like walking aroudn with you in the bjorn. You sleep so well in there. Lots of kicking and punching. You definitely have found your voice with cooing when you eat

1/8
Today you were smiling and smiling at us. Daddy was able to get it on video for us. It was soo amazing to see you interacting with us. I also managed to take some pics on my phone and keep them.

Lots and lots of stretching when you wake up. You are soo sweet and so cute!

Week 7

Last night was a bit rough. I didn't have you swaddled when I put you to bed in the bassinet in our room and you kept making sooo many grunting noises I couldn't sleep. I kept thinking you were wide awake. I'd check and you were asleep. After I fed you, then I swaddled you.

The swing seems to be working out ok. Putting you in the bassinet, you don't sleep as long. You definitely sleep the best in my arms. Unfortunately, I can't carry you around all day so I enjoy the moments that I have with you.

Week 6

Daddy is home with us this week so we all get to hang out and clean up after the holiday. You have filled out quite a bit now with those cute little cheeks. not so much like a newborn anymore! We are getting a few more smiles here and there. Your neck muscles are so strong. we must make more time for tummy time!

You are not a huge fan of being swaddled. We'll keep trying because the movements you make in your sleep wake you up. You must be going through a growth spurt because you want to eat every 3hours! Sometimes every 2hrs! You have been able to go about 5hrs during one stretch of the night time which your daddy and I are thankful for.
