Weight & Length: He weighed 15 lbs even and measured 24 1/2 inches at his doctor's appointment today. He is in the 95th percentile.
Sleeping: He is still waking up once or twice at night to eat and then he goes back to sleep. He likes to nap during the day as well, usually a long nap in the morning, then little cat naps throughout the rest of the day.
Eating: He doesn't have a set schedule yet, so each day varies and can be totally different than the day before. He usually eats every 2-3 hours. We have been lucky when we have went out to do some Christmas shopping he has slept the whole time and waits to eat till we get home.
Diapers: He just moved up from his size 1 diapers to a size 2. I can't believe that he wasn't in the size 1 diapers no time. I have a feeling he will be in the size 2 diapers for a while. They are a little big on him, but the size 1's were too tight. They should really make a size 1 1/2.
Clothing: He has grown out of all of his newborn clothes. His 0-3 month outfits are a getting snug on him. I have already washed all of his 3-6 months clothes and he has started to wear some of them. Some are a little big, but most fit comfortably. I have really enjoyed shopping for his clothes. There is so much cute stuff out there!
Hair: His hair is really starting to grow. He lost most of the peach fuzz he had when he was born, so I was happy to see it growing back. In the very top of his head he has several sprigs that are super long, like 3 inches. They are so cute when they stick up. His hair color is the same as when he was born, dark blonde. I am hoping it stays this color.
Eyes: Medium blue, lighter than when he was born.
Personality: He is still a very happy baby!!! I cannot get over how perfect he is. He rarely cries and it isn't a full out cry when he does. And he is basically just letting me know it is time to eat momma!! He still enjoys going new places and looking at lights. He loves, loves, loves to cuddle and so does mommy and daddy. I could sit all day with him and cuddle. He has gotten better about diaper changes and laughs and smiles now.
Milestones: He smiles, laughs, and coos all the time!!!! This melts my heart, it is the sweetest thing! I have so many videos of him cooing and laughing :) He is responding to us when we talk to him, he laughs and coos back. The doctor said he has excellent head control and is able to hold his head up on his own. He can follow an object or person with his eyes. He loves watching us, especially when we are in the kitchen cooking. He can grasp a toy in his hand. He can also bring both of his hands together and tries to suck his thumb, but mommy tries to replace it with a paci. When we are holding him he can bear weight on his legs and can stand for a little while.
Firsts: He went to Sunday school and church for the first time. He also went out of town shopping a few times. He had his first Thanksgiving at my nanas, then my dads, and at Jody's parents. We are extra thankful for our sweet baby this year! He attended his first Christmas program and slept through the entire thing.
Adventures this month: We had a family get together with my nana's side of the family. Sawyer got to meet lots of his cousins and great aunts and uncles. We also visited my place of work and everyone there loved him. It was nice to see everyone, but I dread going back because I will have to leave him!!
