Weight: 12 pounds 6.5 ounces (71st percentile)
Head Circumference: 16.25 inches (83rd percentile)...and yes i just measured my head to see how big it is in comparison
Milestones: Ryan is trying his hardest to talk to us. He gurgles and coos and makes "Aaaaahhhh!" sounds. He's getting really good at holding his head up all by himself, which is pretty amazing considering it's so huge! He looks at us and follows objects a lot better, but sometimes you'll talk to him and he'll look at everything *except* you...i think it's on purpose to drive mommy nuts. He's starting to realize that his hands and feet actually do things. When we wave at him he tries to mimic us by "waving" back (opening and closing his fingers.) It's really cute! His smiles are my absolute favorite, but right now he mostly smiles in response to us smiling at him...or sometimes (like tonight) when he makes a massive dirty diaper and is super-proud of himself. I tried really hard not to laugh but when he broke out into huge grin and giggled i couldn't stop myself. When i stand him up on his feet he locks his knees and stands straight for about 30 seconds. He's just starting to learn to grab things but so far just lets them go without doing anything with them. Still sleeps best completely swaddled.
Favorites: Peanut's absolute favorite time of the day is bathtime. He splish-splashes all over the place. He's just started realizing his Oscar the Octopus floating toy and has learned how to "trap" it between his feet.
Sounds: "Wooooo" "Aaaaaahhhh!" "Ah-goo" I could really make up all kinds of words for the noises he makes.
Foods: Similac Advance formula. I did tell him to pretend it was turkey flavored on Thanksgiving...yummm!
Hours I Let Mommy Sleep: We're still working on a set bedtime. But usually when he goes down for the night he'll sleep about 5ish hours before waking up to eat again and then he'll sleep another 4-4.5. In a surprising turn of events Daddy has become a total morning person. He's been in bed way before midnight every night this week! I guess that's what happens when Mommy returns to work and Ryan wakes up at 6-8am to play.
Other News: Peanut lives in footy pajamas. They are soooo much easier than onesies and outfits, plus socks seem to cut into his ankles. So for Black Friday i just bought a gajillion of them. He's just starting to wear the 3-6 month footy pj's because the smaller size was scrunching his toes. His reflux is practically gone now. He currently has his very first illness...a cold. Which he then gave to me and it hit me my first day back to work! *sigh* I'm not looking forward to what he'll bring home when he starts school. And apparently "Aunt" Jenn is the baby whisperer. I don't know what witchcraft she's brewing but he just smiles and giggles for her all the time! Jake had to make her leave today because Ryan couldn't eat and smile at the same time...at least not without making a huge mess.
