Diapers:
size 3
Clothes:
6 month clothes fit most of the time. Some of them are a little tight so he's started wearing some 9 month clothes.
Schedule:
He usually wakes up in the morning at 5:30 or 6. Daddy drops him off at daycare between 6:30 and 7 and I'll usually pick him up between 3:45-4:30. We usually put him to bed between 7-9.
Sleeping:
He will only take short naps at daycare- usually 2 or 3 that are about 40 min. When I go to pick him up he's usually pretty tired and will nap on me as soon as we get home. There's been a time or two that he'll only wake up to eat, then go straight to bed! He averages about 7-10 hours of straight sleep at night! (He loves to sleep like mommy and daddy... thank goodness!)
Oct 30th he slept for almost 14 hours! He fell asleep after daycare at about 4:30, sort of woke up to eat at about 7:30, then slept until about 6 the next morning!
Eating:
He's eating 6 oz every 3-4 hours. The only time longer between feedings is at night. The day before he turned 4 months old he tried cereal for the first time! He did really good eating it out of a spoon!
Likes:
- Loves to pull things toward his mouth, especially his paci (wubinub) or bottle. Likes to hold on to them once they are there.
- Loves to 'talk' especially to daddy.
- Loves to go new places and look around. He's very talkative at home, but if we go somewhere new he gets really quiet.
- He can grab things with his hands now. He loves to grab the animals on his bouncer.
- If we put something close to his mouth, he tries to pull it in. Sometimes he is successful, but sometimes he pulls it into his nose or eyes and it scares him.
Dislikes:
Being tired or hungry. That is really the only time he fusses. :)

Teeth:
None yet, but he is very slobbery so I think he may start teething soon.
Milestones:
- Oct 16th- Rolled over front to back for the first time.
- He's really starting to hold himself up well during tummy time.
- Nov 2nd- Rolled from back to front for the first time! It was during his night time feeding. Daddy laide him on the floor to swaddle him again and he stretched really big and rolled. I think it was an accident because when he stretches he arches his back a lot.
Dr. Visits:
We've been concerned about the shape of his head (from laying on his back so much) so we asked our pediatrician about it at his four month check up. He has ordered an xray to check and make sure there are no serious problems. A helmet might be a possibility. Please keep him in your prayers that there are no serious problems!
