Length: approximately 24 1/2 in. (official length: 25 in.)
Milestones: We have quite a few milestones this update!
Lochlan's rolling (sometimes) belly to back. We're having a lot of back and forth rolling when he's on his back, but he's not really working on rolling back to belly yet. Any time he does roll to his side, his darn arm keeps getting in the way! He does enjoy sleeping on his side though (even though it terrifies me), and as a result, we have had to move him to his crib in the nursery about a month earlier than I really wanted.
He officially found his toes towards the end of last week too. I'm talking--full on, knows his toes are connected to his body, his hands can grab them, and he wants to eat them!
He is also grabbing at things, holding on to them, and bringing them to his mouth.
He laughed at me ONCE a couple of weeks ago but hasn't done it since. Apparently, he laughs at daycare, he giggled at the hubs a few nights ago, and he was laughing in his sleep this past weekend, but he won't laugh at me. Turd.
Sleep: Since he's been in his crib, he's getting up more throughout the night, but I guess that's to be expected since he has so much more room than normal now. He's moving around and waking himself up. He's down to about 3 naps per day, and they're about 40 minutes each. For some reason tonight it took him an hour to fall asleep. :-(
Eating: We bumped up to 6.5 oz. for the first time all day yesterday, and it threw his schedule off a lot. He went about 4-5 hours in between bottles instead of 3, but he only ate 30 oz. total, so I'm not sure what to do to increase his intake, or if I should even worry about it. Today's schedule was much better, but he still only ate 32 oz.
I don't think we're anywhere near ready to start solids, but we'll see what the pediatrician says this coming Monday. Personally, I would like to wait until 5 1/2 or 6 months, but who knows! He's still fully satisfied with the formula or breast milk, so I don't see any reason to rush him to eat solids.
Mood: He's generally a happy baby, but he's very determined and serious at times.
Likes: He LOVES bath time, being naked, playing on his mat, and sitting up to watch the colors on the TV. He also loves smiling at you and waiting for you to make eye contact.
Dislikes: He hates having the hiccups! It makes him so angry, and it's adorable.
Things I want to remember: I want to remember how quickly he's developing; how quickly he's becoming a little person. One day he will sporadically do something, and then two days later it's a consistent thing--like finding his feet; at first he was getting them but not quite realizing that they were his and connected to them, but now he plays with his feet in the bath tub, on the changing table, and when he wakes himself up in the crib.
Looking forward to: Still baby giggles...
