Length / Weight: We had to go to the doctor again today, so I have an official weight. The poor baby had another ear infection this month and we had to go back and make sure it was gone once and for all. It is... for now. Anyway, at home when I measured him he's now 27.5 inches long. At the doctor, his weight was 18 lbs, 10 oz.
Eating: Still on Similac Sensitive, and most bottles are 6 oz. We started vegetables this month. He's a huge fan! He doesn't even make a face of "oh, that's different" when he tries something new, he just gobbles it up! Two exceptions: my homemade carrots, which I think was a texture thing he didn't like. Three bites and he was done. The Gerber carrots though, were delicious! The night I steamed and pureed peas, he had whole body shudders and refused. B and I laughed SO.HARD at him. We tried again the next day, and he ate a bowl full. He had been crabby the night before, so as B said, "He must not have liked them because of his attitude." LOL! He eats jarred green beans because I don't know how to make those right, and I've made him pumpkin, squash, and sweet potatoes in addition to the peas. He loves them all!
Sleeping: He still isn't as awesome at sleeping as he was before Christmas, but we're getting there. I don't think he's actually HUNGRY when he wakes in the night - just needs something to suck on maybe. He won't take a paci, so we've given him a bottle of water in his crib. He's found that and put himself back to sleep 3 out of the past 4 nights.
Wearing: Size 3 diapers, and size 6-9 month clothes. We found out that we can't really use hand-me-downs from his brother anymore - B was so small that his 6-9 month stuff is mostly summer attire, and it is definitely not summer weather yet! Darn it, Mommy has to shop. :)
Miscellaneous: He is a mover! The kid is constantly on the go. He's fantastic at rolling to get places now, but he doesn't need to do that often because he's army crawling!! I swore the kid would be "real" crawling before 7 months old, but I was a bit off. He's close - rocking on hands and knees, but can't figure out how to go yet. So for now, army crawling is his mode of transportation and he's quite good at it! Sticks that left arm out and gets his feet dug in and he's off to the races! He's also very close to being able to roll into a sitting position. And his laugh - oh, his laugh. It's amazing. Usually he laughs at his brother. They love each other so much!
