These months are flying by! Seems like yesterday I was doing his 3 month update. Slow down little guy!
Pax Facts:
Stats:
Height 26.25 inches (90%)
Weight 15lbs 7ozs (53%)
Head Circumference 42.2 cm (50%)
Eats:
Like a newborn! Pretty much around the clock, every 3 hours. He is one hungry guy! But actually...he had a stretch of about 3 nights where he was only waking up once at night to eat. Hoping that streak comes back soon! Not sure if he is really hungry when he is waking or it is more of a habit. He is still getting only breast milk...nursing and taking bottles. When he does take a bottle he eats about 5 ounces. I would like to start supplementing one feeding a day with formula but that is a little tricky because he seems to still be a little sensitive to dairy. Our pediatrician said soy would be ok if it was only a bottle or two a day (because of the estrogen in soy...didn't go into details). We are going to wait a little while longer before starting solids because he is doing so well on just milk for now. He is still taking Prevacid for his reflux and it seems to help but he still spits up A LOT! He also gets vitamin D.
Sleeps:
He is sleeping better at night and usually goes to sleep around 8:30. We usually still swaddle him, but he busts out of it once he starts wiggling around. I am not sure if he likes it or not, but he seems to sleep a little better. He wakes up around 7:30. He takes a nap in the morning for about 1.5 hours. Depending on the day, that may be in the carseat, the moby wrap or in his crib. He prefers to be held for his afternoon nap and will sleep for 2 hours unless you try and put him down! He usually takes one or two more cat naps in the evening.
Wears:
Mostly size 3-6 month clothing. Size 2 diapers, but we are quickly approaching size 3. He hasn't had a single pair of shoes on his feet since he was born so I have no idea what size shoes he wears.
Other fun Pax facts:
He is spending more time in his Bumbo seat. He loves his "play gym". He is tolerating tummy time a little better now that he can prop himself up on his elbows and look around. He hasn't quite rolled over yet, but he is getting very close to going from back to tummy. He has found his feet and he LOVES them...and his hands and anything he can get his hands on! Most things go in his mouth. He has become a serious fan of the Moby wrap and loves to nap snuggled up to momma. His hair is light brown and he has the nice bald spot on the back of his head from sleeping on his back. His eyes are definitely changing from blue to a hazel/brown color. Most people think he looks like his momma ;) He is a pretty easy going boy these days, as long as you don't try and put him down for a nap! He is a very light sleeper and has a tough time soothing himself back to sleep. He loves to grab my necklace or my hair. He is quite the talker. He is enthralled with his sister and follows her around (with his eyes for now) where ever she goes. He babbles, giggles and laughs all of the time! He tunes into the TV much more than his sister ever did...or still does! He is very ticklish! He still likes to be in the mix and gets bored if he is left in the same spot or alone for too long. He makes a grunting noise as he is falling asleep (while being rocked). He has his momma wrapped around his chubby little finger. I couldn't be more in love!
