Weight & Length: This month Sawyer weighed in at 19 pounds and measured 28 inches. He is growing too fast for me! I really wish I could freeze time because I am enjoying my time with my precious boy.
Sleeping: He has slept through the night multiple times this past month.It is still hit or miss. If he doesn't sleep through the night he usually wakes just once. The doctor says it time to start working on sleeping through the night every night and in his own crib in his room!! Ugh......I guess he is right I just didn't want to hear it...lol....we will start small with naps. The other day I laid him in his own crib to nap for the first time. That didn't last long he was awake and laughing and smiling within 2 minutes.
Eating: He is still drinking mommy's milk every 2-4 hours. He can go longer now without eating especially if he is busy playing. We have tried some real food this month. His first food was avocado, he seemed to like them......he just has a hard time figuring out the spoon. We has also tried apples, he also liked those. Hoping to add sweet potatoes to the mix soon.
Diapers: He can wear a size 3 in some brands and a size 2 in others. We mainly use size 3 incase he has a blowout lol Call us crazy, but we have also been working on infant potty training. He has pooped and peed in the potty many times. I am not expecting him to be completely potty trained next week, but want to get him familiar with the process. It seems that little boys take their sweet time when learning to use the potty, so I figured we should get a jump start on it now :0)
Clothing: Sawyer is now wearing 3-6 months and some 6-9 months. His 3-6 months pants fit his waist and legs, but he is needing 6-9 in many of his shirts because his torso is so long. We have purchased his Easter outfit and I cannot wait till he can wear it, it's super cute! Definitely something you have to buy early because baby clothes sell out fast. The shirt I bought was actually the last in his size.
Hair: His hair is growing so fast. It looks longer everyday! The color is a dark blonde.
Eyes: Medium blue with a hint of gray...asked the doctor today if he thought they would change anymore and he said probably not!! I hope not, I was hoping for a blue eyed boy, but knew it would be a slim chance since neither me or Jody have blue eyes.
Personality: So far he seems to be a very sweet, happy, laid back baby. He is hardly ever fussy and just goes with the flow. I sure hope this last ;) He is very sweet and loves to hold mommy or daddy's hand to go to sleep. I can see a little bit of shyness in him too, sometimes when he smiles at someone, he will turn his head in a shy way. It is the cutest thing!
Milestones:
- Sits on his own for several seconds
- Grasp objects and put them in mouth
- Falls asleep on his own
- Pays attention to a very small object
- Babbles
Firsts: Sawyer went to his first birthday party. Even though it was a girl's party, he still had fun and enjoyed people watching. He also enjoyed his first super bowl, even though he has no clue what football is he liked watching those guys run around. And he even took advantage of the blackout and took some time to eat some yummy avocados.
Adventures this month: We attended my school's black history play. He was a very good audience member and didn't cry or fuss. He enjoyed watching the kids sing, dance, and act. Not much other adventure to report on this month. He has just been discovering and playing with all his toys. It has been so cold out we don't want to get out and do anything. Hoping spring comes soon, so we can go back to the park some more.
