Length / Weight: I did not get him measured for length today when I dropped by the clinic, but he was weighed. He's up to 13 lbs, 6.5 oz! A pound in a half in a month! Aunt Beth has some good milk! :)
Eating: We are doing breast milk 100% of the time now. He has tolerated it very well. He's eating 4 oz at a time for the most part, but every once in a while wants 6 oz. He eats on average every 3 hours during the day (give or take) and nights still aren't totally consistent. Sometimes he'll go 4 hours, sometimes he'll go 6 or more.
Sleeping: He's getting more on a schedule as of late. He'll take a good morning nap, a good afternoon nap, a cat nap for a short time right around dinner time, then about 7:00 will fall asleep until about 9:00, where he'll be up for a bottle and a bit of smiles, and then go to bed around 10:00. As I said above, nights aren't totally consistent, but he is not a terrible sleeper by any means! Just in the past couple days, he's been fighting the swaddle - gets really mad and breaks out of it immediately, if we can even get his arms down to get swaddled in the first place. Last night we gave up and didn't swaddle him and it went OK... perhaps he weaned himself off it? Time will tell, I suppose.
Wearing: Full time in 3-6 month clothes now. Still in size 1 diapers, but not for long. He wore a little pair of shoes yesterday (the shoes in the picture) that Brecken didn't wear until Easter when he was a baby, putting him at about 6 months old.
Miscellaneous: He smiles and smiles and smiles! We call him Smiley because he does it all the time! His laugh is the cutest little sound. He's started grabbing things with his hands, though it's not consistent. When he gets hold of a toy, he brings it immediately to his mouth to suck on it! He's not one to cry a lot, either. Very easy baby! (*knock on wood*!)
