We got a great report from the pediatrician earlier this week. Our chunky monkey is weighing in at 16 lbs 2 oz, which is actually far less than what I really think he weighs. Granted he tips the scales at our house in his diaper and clothes, and they weigh him au natural at the doctor, but I still think their scale is off. Either way, thats the 75th percentile. He is up to 24.5 inches (50th percentile) and his head is also measuring 75th percentile.
He's sleeping for about 7-8 hours most nights now. A couple of times a week, he'll wake up for an extra feeding, but 4-5 nights a week, he sleeps straight through til we wake him up in the morning.
He's really trying to get around, too. We can't leave him in the Bumbo anymore because he tries to stand up with it still attached to his butt. He scoots around on the floor, too. So, Daddy put together his standing play center (I don't know what you really call those things) and he loves it!
We're enjoying bath time still, and now he's starting to splash and play. He wants to help feed himself, no matter who is feeding him, or by what method he is receiving the milk. So, he holds on tight. The picture below shows Will holding his bottle. We'll start trying some rice cereal here in the next few days.
He has really started giggling, and that is the most incredible thing to experience. Some days he is ticklish, some days not. But, regardless, Daddy has figured out a way to get him giggling every day.
Gram is in town this weekend, and Gus and I are going on two dates. We're excited about that.
Will is becoming such a little person, and we're enjoying every second of it!!
