December Growth Update

i haven't had him "officially" weighed/measured at the doctors office, but when i weighed him on the scale at Kevin's dads house, he weighed 16 [count 'em... SIXTEEN] whole pounds! if that is accurate, he has more than doubled his weight in 4 months time!


Genesis::

•has been feeling stuff with his hands, but it ends up being more like "scratching" at stuff :)

•has been doing this whole "mouth-wide-open" thing where he just opens his mouth as wide as he can, but never really says much. he wants to, though! lots of jibber-jabber going on.

•will pull himself up with your help.

•wants to sit up alot, if you set him down on his back.

•has been scratching at his diaper, and found his "pee-bird" for the first time today. haha!

•rolled over 99% of the way on christmas eve! couldn't pull his other arm under to complete the full turn, so he landed back on his back. ALMOST!

•sat up in the shopping cart the first time when my grandma && i went shopping at kohl's last week. (with the support of my adidas coat behind him!)

•got a walker for christmas, but can't quite reach the ground from it's lowest setting. about another month or so and he'll be zooming around!

•likes to taste whatever we are eating. [within reason, of course.]

•doesn't quite sleep through the night on a regular basis yet, but slept for 10 hours straight after being worn out from christmas!

•is growing up wayyyyy too fast on me! -- i think i say that every single day, but it's so true!!!
