I forgot to post after our 4 month check up last week! Alexander is a little less than 16 lbs...like 15lbs 13 ounces!! :-) His head is still rather large, but the rest of his body is catching up so he is only in the 92nd percentile, bumped from the 98th percentile for his head!! :-) He is 24.5 inches (I think, I remember that right) so we are not betting on a 6 footer here! He will be short like him mommy and daddy! Everything is doing well. The doctor would like to see him on his tummy more, so we are trying that when we can. He is very inpatient and wants to sit up all the time, so tummy time is very frustrating for him (boy, wonder where he gets that!!) but we are determined to get him to "like" it!
We learned a hard lesson this week. Daycare lost his one and only pacifier. I know everyone is saying WHY in the world do you only have 1!? When I bought these, I bought 2 different kinds not knowing which one he would take, he is picky. He took on to this particular one and I just haven't made it back to Target to get more. Um...guess where I am headed today!? They found it yesterday, so he is a happy camper now but Boy, do we always have to learn the hard way!?
Alexander is loving his cereal. We are now feeding him oatmeal cereal twice a day. It is absolutely my favorite time of day! Even after working 12 hours I know I can rush home and feed him. Even if Daddy has had the joy of feeding his cereal, I get the bottle and cuddle time before bed! Absolutely love it! We will introduce green beans around Christmas time. Daddy is excited about being able to home make his baby food!
Our next goal is bedtime. He is in such a routine--Bath, cereal, bottle, being swaddled up and rocking/patting time. He is old enough now not to be rocked to bed every night and learn how to put himself to sleep but it is so hard! I enjoy the time, cuddling with him and rocking him to sleep. Yes, my child will be the only 3 year old, still swaddled and still rocked and pat on the behind to go to sleep. :-) No, really, that is our goal to work on next!
I know you all are saying "Where are the pics?" Well, we did have our family pictures taken on Friday and they turned out wonderful. I absolutely love The Picture People in the mall. They did a wonderful job. HOWEVER, they still do not have them posted correctly online, so I can't share them online yet. Promise I will post when they are uploaded.
More later~
