Weight: 16.9lbs - 75th%ile
Eating: I'd guess we're at about 40/60 breastmilk/formula. He nurses in the mornings, sometimes, and sometimes gets formula. Then 2 bottles of breastmilk and 1 bottle of formula at daycare, each about 6oz. Then he gets 6-8oz of formula before bed. He has finally started only nursing once at night!
Sleeping: With the exception of a few nights, we're getting into a new rhythm! Bottle, swaddle, rocking at 6:30/7:00, then into the crib drowsy, but awake. On a good night, we won't hear from him until between 2 and 4, when I nurse him, then he'll sleep until 7! We've had to let him cry it out a little this month, but he's done pretty well putting himself back to sleep! He is taking 2 naps at daycare, 9am and 1:45pm and sometimes sleeps on the way home around 4:30pm. The big change this month has been no swaddling! Our daycare provider, Ms. B, started getting worried that he was going to roll over so she decided to keep him unswaddled during naps about 2 weeks ago. When he hit 4 months, I knew we were facing a regression anyway, so we just went with it at night too! Full on, both arms out, in a sleep sack. There were definitely a few rough nights, but we pushed through and he is finally getting control of those arms!
Clothes: 6-9! He just keeps on growing! It is so bittersweet to be switching out clothes! We are lucky to have gotten some newer hand me downs from friends this time and I'm loving them!
Likes: People! Smiling and giggling. Starting to grab onto the animals on his activity mat. Discovered his feet!
Dislikes: Being left in a room alone!
Doing: First Easter, first baseball game (Nationals Opening day), watching Canon play at the park, rolling from tummy to back, rolling from back to side, sleeping unswaddled. Possibly teething!!! Sitting in the high chair at an incline and grabbing at the Oball.
On Managing Two: Canon can now get baby Ben to laugh! Tag teaming bedtime, though Aaron and Canon love to come in and wrestle loudly in our room as I am giving Ben his bedtime bottle. Went to Target alone with both of them three times last week! Canon likes to say "Mama hold my two boys" and climb on my lap with Ben!
Myself: Maintaining at this point. The weather certainly helps be in good spirits, but some days are still just hard getting to and from home. Utilizing the reminder apps and notes on my phone much more these days to remember things! However, I am LOVING our community hear, developing some great family relationships and enjoying our church!
