im ashamed that i havent posted an update on mayer's progress since september....
we are creeping on his 6 month appointment and god forbid the world wide web doesnt have his stats documented.
clearly my priorities are out of whack.
mayer is GINORMOUS.
that sums it up
at his 5 month appointment (which really was probably a sick visit, because we are professional sickos around here)
he weighed 19+ lbs, measured 28 inches. his head is 25th%tile. tiny compared to the rest of him. he has a perfect head shape. thank goodness!
he is WAY off the charts. WAYYYYY.
his height is crazy off and his weight is just slightly off.
he is wearing 12-18 month clothes and in some cases 18 month clothes
mayer can roll from his tummy to his right side. thats it. too much mass to move. he loves his tummy
he is just starting to sit up without assistance, but still teeters over often
he LOVES baby food. this is foreign to momma bear. i had no clue what a baby food eatin baby was like. we introduced food at 4 months. i had no choice. he still refuses the bottle and the kid clearly loves to eat. he can scarf down some baby food. we have introduced carrots, apples, pears, bananas, peas, broccoli, avocado, squash, mango, milk, milk and more milk. breast milk of course. he also loves to eat his hands. he still hasnt figured out that he can bring things up to his mouth other than his hands.
im still coming home at lunch every day to nurse.
at almost 6 months mayer has a great schedule
he has been sleeping through the night since 3 months, with a few blips from ear infections.
he wakes around 630. nurses and goes back to sleep till about 9. wakes eats some kind of baby food, plays and naps from 1030-12ish, wakes in time for me to get home to nurse, nurses and then typically goes down for a nap around 130-330/4. Plays lots till i get home. Nurses when I get home at 515, eats his baby food dinner and by 630 he is DONE and ready for bed. bath, book, song, nurse and in bed lights out no later than 7 or he turns into a devil. zzzzzzzzzz through the night.
he still receives PT every other week for his BPT. he still has episodes about once every two weeks.
he was super crooked this episode....but typically still a happy guy.
ive reintroduced leafy greens, acidics and dairy.
we are almost 100% weaned off reflux meds!
now if we could get rid of these double ear infections.
we are on our second one in a month and just cant seem to kick this one we are on antibiotic #3
and a few more cute sweet photos of mayer from the past months iphone photos...
i rarely have my camera with me anymore and tend to use my iphone more than anything.
hopefully this weekend i can get some real shot outside in the upcoming beautiful weather!
mayer is yet another angel baby. he is sweet. smiley snuggly. delicious. im in love all over again. sometimes i cant believe these kids are both mine. so blessed.
