Our little man is getting quite big. He can touch each side of the crib. We went to the pediatricians today. Dr. Ayers says that he is looking good. She wants him to be rolling over by 5 months - so we're on a mission to get him to rollover.
He's started consisting sleeping 9-11 hours per night. We still have some nights were we have random wakeup calls at 3am but they are fewer and fewer. With the suggestion of a good mom friend, we changed his feeding schedule back to 6oz every 3 hours. This has eliminated him waking up at 5am. Our last bottle we up'ed him on his last bottle to 8 oz with 3 tbsp of cereal. Dr. Ayers has given him the green light for cereal twice a day and working towards his first solid foods in two weeks - but I think we are going to wait until he turns 5 months. There are no reasons to rush - right?
His stats:
Weight - 16 lbs 1.5oz (80 percentile)
Length - 24 in. (30 percentile)
Head - 42 cm (50 percentile)
So he's short and round... just like his mama...I hope he's going to grown taller soon. We're still in 0-3 months but wearing some 3-6 months.
He can touch each side of the crib now - I can't believe how big he's gotten.
Gumbo is looking smaller and smaller.
Just another reason why we are continuing to swaddle - he's hurting himself in his sleep these days. We can't leave him alone for a minute. He looks like he has 1/2 of a mustache.
