Big boy is 8 months old today. I can't believe he's 8 months! His months fly by so much more quickly than they did with the Lu.
Here are some stats from their joint 6mo/3yr well baby checks...which occurred at 7.5mo & 3 years and 15ish days...cause I only go to the pedi for well baby checks when I can get the first appointment of the day (I'm not very good at waiting for hours & hours with two kids)...and this time I had to find the first two appointments of the day to save myself a trip!
7.5 month stats (his 6mo well baby visit...45ish days late):
weight: 18lbs, 11.2 ounces; 50th-75th percentile
height: 28 inches; 75th-90th percentile
head circumference: 17.5 inches; 50th percentile
And 3 year stats for the Lu at 3yrs and 15 days:
weight: 31lbs, 4 ounces; 50th percentile
height: 38 1/4 inches; 75th-90th percentile
bmi: 10.24%
Notes on the boy...
-he officially started crawling...headed right for contraband. think cords, the dvr, and any dvds left within reach. whatever room the lu heads for he's sure to follow.
-his dexterous hands put everything in his mouth
-he gives AWESOME big open mouth kisses
-he HATES babyfood. his menu is pretty limited at this point...i try to give him food that i know he'll eat. his absolute FAVORITE food is bananas. he also likes avocado, mango, peach, carrots, sweet potatoes, corn and sometimes peas. i usually buy frozen steamable veggie packs, microwave them, and then either mash them with a fork or put them in my food mill. he can pick up steamed peas with his pincer & get them to his mouth about 30% of the time.
-he is still a terrible sleeper. i'm lucky to get 1 nap at 90 minutes, the other one is usually 40 minutes or so. then if we are in the car he might fall asleep for 20-30 minutes around 4 or 4:30p. he goes to bed around 6:45 and usually cries about 30 minutes on average before falling asleep. he's been getting up to eat 2x again now for the last month or so. he's up for good most mornigns during the 6am hour...should be fun during the time change this fall.
-we just started to giving him baths in the big tub with luci. i have yet to do that on my own...and i probably won't for awhile yet.
-he LOVES cords & nearly pulled one out of the wall plug-in today.
-still in size 3 diapers...we switched to huggies...they just seem to fit lil boy bottoms better.
-size 12mo pjs are in their last days because he's so long. he wears 12-18 month or 18-24 month clothing - again, because of his length. unless the outfit is separates...then he can wear 9 or 12mo (like shorts & a t-shirt).
-he makes all sorts of sounds....mamamamama, daaaa, daaamomm, luu, boouuf...he seems to be much more verbal than I remember luci being at this age.
-he is still mostly crying for the entire time at the new gym. poor boy. he just loves him some mama.
-he sleeps in a medium sleep sack.
-he nurses 4x a day, and usually 2x at night. he eats 3 meals of solids.
-he's a super snuggler. waaaaaaaay more snuggly than the lu. he loves me, is happy to put his arm around my neck, nuzzle me at night, give me open mouth kisses, smushy faces...the whole bit. he'd hug me 24/7 if he could i think.
i sure do love you sweet boy!
