Weight & Length: This month Sawyer weighed in at 21 pounds and is still measuring 28.5 inches.
Sleeping: He is continuing to sleep through the night and some nights wakes to eat once. He sleeps in his pack and play in our bedroom. We tried letting him sleep in his crib, but somehow he knows the difference. He wakes up screaming because he knows he is alone.
Eating: He is still drinking mommy's milk every 2-5 hours. This month I made him peas and squash, he loved them both. Glad he liked the squash because I am sure we will have loads in the garden this summer. So far he seems to like everything we have given him and he gets so excited when he sees his bowl of food. Thankfully he isn't a picky eater like I was when I was little. I will be interested to see if he likes tomatoes....because we both dislike them.
Diapers: Size 3
Clothing: Packed up a lot of his clothes recently. He is wearing 6-9 month in everything. He still has 0-3 pants that fit his waist, but I had to pack them because they were too short on his legs.
Hair: His hair is lightening up and he is getting a lot more on top than anywhere else. In pictures, it sometimes looks like he has a mohawk :)
Eyes: Medium blue
Personality: I love this stage he is at......very playful, always smiling laughing. Sometimes he can be serious though too. He is nosey and wants to see what is going on. He will hear his daddy open the front door and will turn his head just waiting for him to walk in the door. He mainly just goes with the flow.
Milestones:
- Sits on his own
- Reaches for people (I thought he was just wanting to touch our hands, but he doesn't always go...if he doesn't want to go, he will turn back towards me and bury his head in my chest. I think this is sweet, but the person he just rejected may not lol)
- Lots of babbling
- He has been standing since his first month, but I have recently been letting him hold on to things and stand. He does this really well.
- Knows his name
- Definitely saying ma-ma and da-da and knows what he is saying. He will look at me or try to get my attention and say ma-ma. MELTS MY HEART!!!
Firsts: Sawyer went with mommy to her first 5k. He played with bunnies and chicks for the first time during his Easter pictures. He had his first Easter. We gave him an Easter basket with lots of goodies and his Grammy (my mom) gave him a basket too. We went to church and he was dressed in his Easter outfit and then enjoyed Easter festivities with family that afternoon.
Adventures this month: Sawyer has been able to hang out with his friends, Sophie and Edyn (they were also born in October). They are so cute together. They will reach out their hands and touch each other. Watching them all grow up together is going to be so much fun!
