You would not believe how much Caleb has grown in just the past week! He's finishing up another growth spurt right now, which mercifully means he's sleeping more, because I have not enjoyed his sleeping patterns of the last 2 weeks or so which went: Go to bed about 11:30 - midnight, get up at 4:30, eat, go back to sleep, up again at 7 am, up again at 9 and then if I'm really lucky he's out again until 11 but if I'm unlucky he's not out again until 2 or 3. Ick. Sleeping in 1-3 hour chunks STINKS.
But thanks to this
lovely growth spurt he's been sleeping LOTS and sleeping through the night more often than not so I have been a VERY happy Momma.
He is now snug in 6 month sized clothes, and fits into 6-9 month sized clothes and 9 month sized footy jammies are no longer too big at all. Oh my gosh this baby is huge.
Life on the Similac Sensitive formula continues to be very good. I haven't had to give him Mylicon in well over a week! :) AND you would not believe how many developmental milestones he has hit in the last two weeks! He is now firmly in the "see reach grab" phase. Everything get grabbed and he then makes a very spirited attempt to shove whatever it is in his mouth and if it won't fit in the mouth he'll sit there and lick it until it is dripping with drool. He can roll up on his sides at will and he can now roll on to his stomach from his back at will. He still hasn't master rolling back onto his back yet, so he gets on his tummy and he's happy for a bit and then he's ticked when he can't get back over. lol. He actually gets around pretty good on his blanket. I come back and he's in a totally different location than when I left the room. It does make me insanely nervous however when I come in and find him asleep on his stomach but there really just isn't anything I can really do about it at this point.
He's a huge fan of his mobile over the crib, he just stares and stares at it. And he even has favorite toys he likes to play with more than others. And I swear he dreams up new noises to make in his sleep because every morning he wakes up and has a whole new set of sounds he tries out. It's really, really cute. He's also started trying to get his knees under neath him when he's on his stomach so he's almost gotten up into the crawling position for a second or two a couple times in the last day or so. He loves to stand up now and he's getting to where he likes to bounce up and down while you hold his hands for balance.
OH!!! And he laughs now! It is the dang cutest thing you've ever heard in your whole life. He only does it little bits so far but it has to be one of the most delicious sounds I've ever heard in my whole life. I love it, love it, love it.
I'm going to post a video taken this weekend in a couple minutes. Enjoy!
Whoa! What was that flash?!
That camera is reallllly weird Mom!
This is what Caleb and his Daddy like to do while Mommy makes dinner:
He really likes his Bumbo seat! He can sit up in it just like a big boy!
