In order to hit that 19lbs requires a lot of eating- and that you do :) You're taking 4-5 bottles of 6-8oz and eating a little bit of puree food at lunch. You still haven't decided if you like eating food yet. You'll take a few bites of whatever I feed you, but you seem very dis-interested. So far you seem to like sweet potatoes and fruit the best. Anything green...forget-about-it! I think finger foods will be a whole different story with a happier ending :)
Unlike you're brother, you haven't settled into a routine as easy. You struggle to get to sleep without a bottle so you've been taking most of your feedings before naps (which is exactly what all parenting books tell you NOT to do- oh well....). Naps are around 10 and 2. Bottles at 7, 10, 2, 5 & bedtime. Bedtime is still 7:30 and you wake between 6:30 and 7:00am. We had to Cry It Out again after vacation, but it only took 1 night (1 hr..ugghh) and you're back on track. Not as much sickness this month- 1 ear infection so far (knocking on my desk...)
What's new this month? So much! Sitting up like a champ. In just the last few days you've been getting up on hands and knees. Your preferred way to travel however is by rolling. You can be in a new location in seconds flat. You love to sit and splash in the bath with brother, you love to bounce in the jump-a-roo and you love playing with your toys. You're pretty content to sit and play with your toys on the floor, entertaining yourself. Of course wrestling with Dad is your favorite!
You're an amazing little boy. You are smart, and silly, and your smile is so infectious. I heard your teacher say to another, "Isn't he so cute! You should wait untill you see him smile". She was so right. I feel so incredibly blessed by you. I can't get over how easy and happy you are. I'm so, so, so THANKFUL for you.
I told him "Say Cheese" and I got this....
I love you, Evie! Mom
