OH MY I'm late on making this post! My sweet boy turned 7 months old on April 21st and here are his latest "stats" for ya:
Feeding: Stafford is currently taking four, 8 ounce bottles of Nutramigen a day. He eats a fruit (baby food) in the morning, a veggie at lunch and usually a fruit + a veggie for supper. He is STILL a great eater and I am so happy that he is! He still doesn't like green beans but I've found a few different veggies and fruits at Babies R' Us that our Kroger doesn't carry. He's now a HUGE favorite of chicken noodle...takes after his mama on that one!
Sleeping: DRUMROLL please...Stafford is sleeping in his own crib!! YAY! I know that you're probably thinking this should have happened a long time ago but he slept so well in his rock-n-play sleeper in our room that I was afraid to rock the boat, per say. He finally got to the point where he was starting to outgrow it and wanted to stretch out so we made the switch to his room. I was a nervous wreck (still am) but he loves it and sleeps so well all sprawled out! He doesn't really roll over a lot during his sleep but does wiggle himself catty-cornered in the crib. We have TONS of Wubbanubs in there with him so if one comes out, he's got several close by to grab!
Weight: 16 pounds, 5 ounces.
Clothes: Currently wearing 6-9 month pajamas, playsuits and onesies. He's mostly wearing 6 month smocked outfits unless it's a brand that runs small in which he's in a 9 month. No more gowns, which kinda makes me sad BUT I'm loving that my boy is healthy and growing! We're still in size 2 diapers but he's getting close to outgrowing those!
Personality: SWEET SWEET SWEET! Love my little man's personality so much. He is still a laid-back, easy-going kiddo that rarely fusses. He smiles and belly laughs all of the time and loves to snuggle. He says "mama" and "bye bye" (not knowing what he's saying, I'm sure) with a lot of babble mixed in. He has just started paying attention to Ace and LOVES watching him run around. Stafford has a sound machine with a projector on it and he will stare at the projections on the ceiling for hours...loves it!
Fitness: A little slow on the fitness front. He's rolling over from front to back GREAT. Sometimes he will roll himself from front to back but he usually just gets stuck for now! He does not like being on his tummy for very long at all. He holds his head up wonderfully and will sit up a little bit before tumping over. We're getting there! :) He's also really interested in holding his bottle. Stafford will put his hands over mine when I'm feeding him and will sometimes hold it by himself...until he figures out that I'll do it for him!
Routine: We have really settled into our routine wonderfully. I'm probably not the best at getting to work right on time in the mornings (Stafford will sleep in sometimes!) but we have our nighttime routine is down pat. I'm not a stickler about Stafford's bed time at the moment. He usually starts getting sleepy after a bath and a full tummy but sometimes he wants to play so we do! He'll fall asleep on his own anywhere from 8-9 on most nights which is fine by us...especially since he sleeps all night long!!
7 months old!!
