Weight: 16lbs 3oz. A whopping 7.35kg! You are totally in
proportion though. Not tubby in the slightest. Just perfect.
Height: I still haven't
measured you. I took you to get you weighed and the health Visitor didn't seem
interested in measuring you so we'll just say you're long
Food: We introduced you to food this month and it seems to
be going really well. I thought we would go with Baby Led Weaning at first but
the few times I tried to give you chunks of pear and banana you didn't seem to
like them in chunks but the minute I mashed them up you love them. Banana is
definitely your favourite. Your'e really enjoying the Aptamil baby cereal and
porridge too.
Routine: Not much has changed here. You're still feeding
every 2 hours but we're now trying to nap. So every day around 1 you go down
for a nap. We've brought your bedtime forward an hour so Daddy gives you your
bottle at 7. Then mummy feeds you then puts you to bed at 8. Usually you're up
to start the day at 7/8.
Sleep: We had a problem with sleep regression half way
through month 4. At first I thought it was down to changing your bed time. But
after a week I thought it might be down to something else. You would go down to
sleep between half 8 and 9 o'clock but you would wake up crying, anywhere
between 12 and 2, after a feed he'd go back to sleep till 6/7. After this went
on for 10 days I thought it might be due to you learning to roll from your back
to your front. Finally after 12 nights of interrupted sleep and one child
genius who learned to roll over, you slept through the night again! Lets hope
it continues!
Napping is the big change, for 2 weeks now you've gone down
every day for a nap. At least 5 of out of the 14 days you have napped
successfully, so we will keep going and hopefully it will become the norm.
Clothing: You have gone into 6-9 months clothing on the top
half and baby grows but your tiny little bum is still in 3-6 months trousers,
or 4-6 months if its from H&M.
Likes: Playing the drums. Your new thing recently is banging
on everything, you spent a good 15 minutes one afternoon just banging away on
my arm.
Dislikes: Naps still are not your favourite, but we are
getting there. Being ignored, if you get left on your own for too long you will
make everyone aware you wants attention. Being too warm. You cant stand being
warm, the second you get too warm you sure let us know.
Milestones: You finally learned to roll from your back to
your front. It took you a few days and you must have been dreaming about it,
but finally you did it and you were oh so chuffed when you managed it.
Hopefully this will be the beginning of you learning to sit up on your own.
When youre on your tummy you put in a lot of concentration into pushing
yourself up with your arms and pushing your legs around, but you've not quite
got the crawling business down yet, hopefully wont be long though.
All in all you seemed to have grown up a lot in the last
month. You seem so much bigger and you have so much control of your limbs and
your back and neck.
Love Mummy
