Weekly Wednesday

I guess it is really official...he had his 6 month well check yesterday. We were okayed to start eating meat. Oh boy was my first thought. How am I going to figure that one out but I think we did beautifully. Tonight for dinner, he had chicken, sweet potatoes, some prunes and 1/2 a banana. Should I mention that they were all pureed together and resembled creamy peanut butter and was actually pretty good...yes, we did taste it! Do you honestly think we would feed our baby something that neither of us had tried?! And he LOVED it. It pretty much just tasted like bananas.
So, as of yesterday, our happy little guy weighed in at 15.9 lbs. and was 26 1/2" long. He is about average height and below average for his weight. What is this you ask? Yes, we have our first skinny baby! Oh, what's that, you didn't ask? Oh well, you know you wanted to.

Poor guy turned on the charm as best he could; afterall, he did get 5 shots yesterday in his skinny little legs. So considering the trauma he had to endure, I think he was more than cooperative.

Mostly on the serious side but I think he likes to see "The Mommy and Daddy Sideshow of Circus Tricks" on Wednesdays when we try to get a smile.

He has a way of turning on the charm no matter what.

He just melts my heart!

Oh and he discovered our lovely dead grass today too.

He thought it was the neatest thing ever.

Look what I can mostly do by myself!

We have a peeping Boog Tom too!

I just wish you could see his whole outfit...batman pj top, polar bear boxer breifs, and batman crocs! What a sight he was.

New Stats...

Just thought I would upate on my lil Tutti-Frutti and how big he is getting...



We went in for his monthly injection and at 5 months, he weighs in at 14 lbs. 2 oz. and he is 25 7/8" long.

Mr. Lil Man's Four Month Well Check

Lil Man had his 4 month well check today, with shots :( poor guy, but he did great. He has been okay'ed to start eating baby food, if we so choose, which as of right now, we do not. We will hold off for a bit longer. He seems to be totally satisfied with what he is getting now and Dr. Mac bascally said he would not fix what is not broken, which I totally agree.



At 4.5 months old, he is still taking quite a few naps, like really good naps. Don't we all wish we could sleep all day?!? He goes to bed between 8:30pm and 10:00pm and gets up between 5:30am and 7:30am. He eats, naps for a bit, wakes up, plays for a few minutes, gets ready for the day, eats, goes down for a good 2ish hour long nap...wakes up, eats....takes another 2ish hour long nap. By that time, it is time to eat again then get the kids from school, guess what he does on the way? You guessed it, nap! Once we get home, he usually stays up for a little while until time to eat again then goes down for another 2ish hour long nap. He stays up for a little while in the evening for a bath and playing with the kids then it is off to bed again. What a life!



So, for the numbers you have been waiting for...



At 4.5 months:

weight 13.7lbs 25%

length 25" 50%

head circ. 17" 75%



The percentages mean that is the percent of kids his age that he is heavier, longer and yes, has a bigger head than...haha.

Mr. Lil Man

Mr. Lil Man had to get his monthly Synagis injection this morning so we took the opportunity to see how big he is getting. I was unable to schedule his regular 4 month well check until January 12th so we were just dying to know. So...at 4 months, Mr. Lil Man is 13 lbs. 4oz. and is 25"! And of course just as cute as can be.



Boog, being the best big brother in the world, was so concerned about his baby, had tears in his eyes as he asked, "Mommy, is he goin' be ok?" How sweet is that?!? He loves his baby brother.
