Height: 25"
Weight: 16 lbs 6 oz
Likes: Mommy, Mommy's milk, sleeping with Mommy, standing ALL THE TIME (in his bouncy seat or while being held), DROOLING, spitting up, me kissing his under his neck and he's even starting to sit up (but not well). He COMES ALIVE when he's naked on his changing table! He scoots on his back and almost falls of every time! Drew really likes he holding/touching him all day long. He truly didn't get the memo that he was the 4th kid. I have to do everything while holding him and it's pretty frustrating/exhausting most days. BUT I love him!
Dislikes: Meh, he's not a huge fan of the carseat this month and he doesn't like it when I'm not holding him. I can put him down on the floor for 5 mins, then I have to hold him, then I can move him to his activity table. Like I said, he doesn't like to chill. He also doesn't like to give me personal space. My hair is always being grabbed by the handfuls and gahlee does it hurt! I try my best not to get frustrated at him but, I'm human. haha I love you buddy but chill!
Sleeping: He's taking 2 naps a day on our beloved 2-3-4 schedule (wake, nap 2 hours after he wakes, awake 3 hours, next nap, then awake 4 hours until bedtime). He's not sleeping well, but it's okay, I'm in his room with him and he doesn't hog to bed too much ;) I put him down between 7:30 and 8 for bed and he wakes between 7:30 and 8 am ready to start the day (after waking to nurse OFTEN at night).
Eating: Nursing. On demand. All day long. Everyone says he's chunkyyyyy! His legs are my favorite. haha his knee cap fat is amazing! He grabs for whatever is in my hands so I'm sure he's bound to get a hold of some food sooner than later but we don't plan on feeding him food any time soon.
Playing: If I'm holding him, he plays great! His preferred position is standing and looking at me. He coos and giggles and smiles a lot now especially when you "nom" or tickle his ribs! He doesn't like to be laid down unless you're right by him/holding him/sitting near him. Drewwwwbs! Seriously y'all. NEEDY! haha He does like his precious stand up activity table and we cannot thank whoever gave it to us enough. SUCH A BLESSING! Oh yes, he also tolerates the stroller well when we go on walks. He could care less about toys, but does play with Jiggy the giraffe still. He's a ladies man, haha always grinning at nice ladies who come over and chat out in public. Silly guy!
Big Sisters: Ohhhh they love him! Each one loves him differently but gracious they are all so good together. It's funny how I wanted a boy first and then others to follow... this little guy is SO loved. SO loved. Brooke is starting to take more responsibility with him and will hold him and do her HORRIBLY ANNOYING high pitched voice (that he loves). She'll lay with him while I get the girls ready. They all do really well at tolerating his hair pulling. Tay is so sweet and loves to talk to him and hold him. She's calm and gentle with him and likes to talk to him in a baby voice and lay with him and just visit. Charlotte always wants to hold/sit with him, but it truly doesn't last long. I think they'll hit their stride together when he gets a bit older. Either way it's amazing, each day to share so much special time with them. I'm a terrible mom, but God's got them in my care for a reason. Each day, through his grace and providence, we'll make it though.
