- Weight: 13.1 lbs.
- Height: 25 inches
- Diaper Size: He is still wearing Size 1.
- Clothing Size: He is still wearing 0-3 Months.
- Likes: When dad comes home from work, when mom sings to him, standing or sitting up, laughing and being tickled.
- Dislikes: Being sick, nursing instead of getting a bottle, being held horizontally rather than getting to sit up, loud noises and big groups of people around him.
I love that he is chunking up a bit and has made it to the thirtieth percentile in weight! As his doctor said, that's a big step up since his birth weight was the third percentile! I love my Chunky Monkey!
His personality is adorable and he definitely already has some quirks. One of our favorites is that, because he sneezes all the time, he's figured out the sensation and knows its coming and so sometimes he does a fake sneeze that sounds like he's yelling "Huh!" right before the real sneeze comes. It cracks us up every time.
Another quirk is that he does a little shiver when he pees. We first discovered this because he pees every time we put him in the bathtub. Then we started noticing he randomly shivers the same way throughout the day... and then suddenly the wetness indicator on his diaper turns blue. It's hilarious!
He still cuddles with me {which makes me a very happy momma!} but he is starting to be so distracted by everything in the world around him. He's enjoying tummy time more now that he is strong enough to hold his head up high and realizes it allows him to see all around him. He started rolling from his tummy to his back about two weeks ago but is still a bit uncertain about the fact that he is making it happen and not just falling over.
We got him a chair similar to a Bumbo and he loves sitting in it! He doesn't like to lay on his back hardly at all anymore and always wants to be standing or at least sitting.
TV fascinates him and although I swore I would never be the kind of mom that would just plop my kid in front of a show to keep him entertained, but while he was sick from his shots I lowered my elitest standards for Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and Henry Hugglemonster. He loves it! And the distraction really helped take his mind off how much his cute little body was hurting.
He has become very attached to his blanket {but truthfully, it's not a particular blanket but rather just any that are soft and fuzzy} and has to have it next to his face when he falls asleep.
By next to his face, I mean that is how we try to position it... but he likes to pull it up to his face. And a lot of times he pulls it completely over his head while he is soothing himself to sleep.
Speaking of soothing himself, he also likes to sing himself to sleep. But in actuality, this singing sounds more like a cross between moaning and humming. And it tends to get louder and louder until he finally falls asleep.
His motor skills are continuing to develop and he has become very adept with his little hands. He grabs at everything and immediately puts whatever he has found into his mouth. He is getting quite fond of pulling his mom's hair...
He is funny around people. He does well in one-on-one time with new people and, like his dad, has a special fondness for blonde girls. It takes a little bit of time for him to warm up to girls with darker hair because they don't look like his mom. He hasn't really met any blonde guys so I'm not sure if he'd be hesitant around guys that don't look like his dad too. And he really doesn't like large group settings and people talking loudly. He does fine at a restaurant or somewhere that the noise stays at a steady roar... but when we have company at our house and individual people are speaking loudly, he gets upset.
I love that he has such a strong personality and has definite preferences and dislikes. He's so much fun!
