Greyson, this month has gone by so much faster than all the others! I feel that you have grown up so much more during this month, especially the last two weeks!! I am absolutely loving being home with you and watching you learn and discover new things each day!!
Weight:
As of this morning, you were about 17 or so pounds. We don't have a doctor's visit planned until August so this is my best guess based off our scales at home.
Height:
You are a little over 26 inches this morning. (Best judgment I have) Your daddy keeps making the comment that you are getting so long!
Clothing Size:
Solidly in 6-9 months clothes now. All of your pajamas with feet in them are 9 months. In your everyday outfits you can still wear 6 months. Your nicer clothes are anywhere between 6 and 9 months, depends on how they are made.
Size 2's still. We will be venturing to 3's before long, probably as soon as this size 2 box is over!
Feeding:
You are on the same eating schedule as last month. You eat four six ounce bottles a day and your bedtime bottle is 8 ounces.
I may start you on some cereal this month, I want to wait until you can sit solid on your own. Your doctor told me I could start whenever I wanted to, but she suggest waiting until you are six months.
Hair/Eyes:
Those eyes are so blue!! I feel that it's finally safe to say they are staying blue - the pediatrician even confirmed it when we were in a couple of weeks ago.
You have, once again, a head full of hair! Only now it is not near as dark and it it so thick! I am not sure where you get thick hair from!
Sleep:
We have our nights. You LOVE to fight it! I am not sure if it is because you are in the room with us because we are still in between houses or what. I think you are quickly getting some seperation anxiety at nighttime. Which is rough on me and your daddy! Once you go down you do okay, still waking up and can't go back to sleep on your own about 4 or 5 each morning. You are sleeping longer though in the mornings, close to 8! I have gotten into the habit of picking you up and you are okay. I am trying to break that habit and come give you your pacifier or rub your head until you go back to sleep. It is SO hard! You scream and we both end up in tears! I know we will get through this! I also think some of it is you are trying to get those front bottom teeth in!
You normally take two naps a day. They are anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour and a half! Sometimes you will get by with a third nap- especially if we are busy and you are in your carseat a lot.
Fun Stuff:
-Mickey Mouse Clubhouse is your favorite, favorite thing. We know if you are fussy, we can put that on to calm you down. You can be in the middle of whining and throwing a fit, and if the Hot Dog Dance comes on, you immediately stop and start grinning. It's so funny!
-You like tummy time more and more. Lately, that's been probably your favorite activity....especially if we put you in front of a toy. Those arms and legs are scooting. Your daddy keeps saying once you learn that your legs and arms will work together, you will be off and crawling! And if we lay you on your back, you will usually always find a way to your back!
-You love standing in our laps. You are a strong little boy for sure! And you've started leaning into our shoulder when you're tired.
-The other day Wally and Bailey got in your face and you thought it was the funniest thing! You laughed and laughed! You have not grabbed at Bailey yet, but you grab at Wally and pull his hair. He is so good and doesn't mind!
-You can make some of the funniest faces. And you love looking at our funny faces. When you start laughing, you can not stop yourself. It is the funniest thing and we all are cracking up laughing before long!
-You've found your feet! You can get them in your mouth now. You love to wobble back and forth while you're holding your feet.
-You've also learned how to hit and grab! I don't think the hitting is on purpose, but you LOVE to grab long hair!
I hope one day you can understand how happy you make us. You are the light of our lives, and the last 5 months have been the best!
You were not feeling very well on your picture day this month, but I wanted to still get that day.
