He's learning to sit on his own, which is why he's so scrunch in his 5 month picture. Here are his stats:
Weight: 14 lbs 8 oz
Length: 26"
Head: 43 cm
I do think he'll reach his goal weight of 15 lbs 6 oz at his 6 month birthday, which is double his birth weight. And even if he doesn't, I don't care! We are still going to wait until he's 6 months for solids, however it's really tempting to start early because he is DEFINITELY showing signs that he's ready! He's watching us eat more and more and even following the fork from the plate to our mouths. I'm starting to feel guilty eating in front of him. They do start soooo slow on solids, that I just might start at 5 1/2 months...who knows!
New Braden things:
- using his hands for everything, grabbing at toys, bringing things into his mouth, examining my face!
- rolling from back to tummy for the last 3 weeks
- spitting! It's kinda funny, he gathers up some spit between his lips and makes a loud "pfffffffft" sound and spit goes flyin' everywhere!
- coughing. It's one of his sounds he practices, it's a pathetic little "man" cough!
- a routine! Alllllllmost a schedule but no set times yet. Naps 2 hours after waking, sometimes it's still a 45 minute nap, but usually a 1.5 hour nap, up for 2-2.5 hours for another nap and if he didn't have a long nap in the morning, then this nap will be long, then a cat nap in the evening and then bedtime between 8-8:30!
- chewing, chewing, chewing, and drooling, drooling, drooling!
- he LOVES being in the water!
- he has learned to fling things
He is amazing! I was trying to explain to Grandpa the changes that he'll see next time he sees him! He is such a joy!
