Weight & Length: This month Sawyer weighed in at 20 pounds and measured 28.5 inches. He is finally starting to slow down a little bit.
Sleeping: He is continuing to sleep through the night and some nights wakes to eat once. He has taken one nap in his crib so far. Usually when he naps during the day one of us enjoys cuddling with him. I have not tried to put him in his crib at bedtime yet. Maybe next month :P
Eating: He is still drinking mommy's milk every few hours. In the mornings he doesn't feed as often, but during the evening he has to eat every 2 hours. He is still eating avocados and apples and enjoys them more than he did at first. This month I introduced him to sweet potatoes and pears. He loved both of them and you cannot feed them to him fast enough!
Diapers: Since he has only gained a pound since last month, he is still wearing either size 2 or 3. We are down to his last pack of 2's, so we probably will just stick with the 3's instead of buying more.
Clothing: Sawyer is now wearing 3-6 months and some 6-9 months. His little feet are growing too, he can barely get his chubby little feet in a size 2, but the size 3 look too big. Thankfully he doesn't have to wear shoes everyday like we do.
Hair: His hair is getting long enough that we can actually part it and comb it to one side. It is so soft, I love it! The color is a dark blonde.
Eyes: Medium blue, they look different shades of blue in different light. His eyelashes are getting long too!
Personality: Still very sweet and laid back. However he does seem a little bit more clingy lately. He doesn't like to be left in a room alone. You leave for a second and he fusses. Then when you come back, he stops fussing and just smiles...so sweet!
Milestones:
- Sits on his own for several minutes
- Rolls from tummy to back (Actually did this while I was taking his 5 month pictures)
- Raises chest with arms while on his tummy
- Tries to get up on his knees
- Saying ma-ma, da-da, and bye bye - I don't know if I should count these as his first words because I don't think he actually knows what he is saying. He has been saying ma-ma for over a month. Makes me happy either way :)
Firsts: Sawyer moved up to his first big boy car seat. He has almost reached the length limit and he was getting too heavy to tote around in the infant seat. He had his first Valentine's Day. It was probably not one we won't to remember though. We were all three sick with some type of stomach bug. Fortunately he wasn't as sick as us and it only lasted a day for him. We didn't get to celebrate or go out. Although we did get him a fleece blanket to play on for Valentine's Day. It has owls, giraffes, turtles, and other animals on. He celebrated Dr. Seuss' birthday by dressing up as Thing 1.
Adventures this month: We have been able to go to the park a few times. He usually stays awake for a lap or two and then dozes off. We went to a family get together at my great aunt's house. At first, all the loud people scared him, but after a few minutes he got use to. Today (which will technically fall into next months post, but I might forget by then) we went to a kite festival at our local park. It was the first day that it was really warm outside, so it was nice to take him out and let him enjoy the sunshine. We also went to a birthday party at Teddy Mountain. Sawyer had a giraffe made and we named it Fred.
