So I'm not sure if I should be concerned, but B is still wearing 0-3 clothes and even some newborn stuff (pants only). He really has no bum, and seems to have gained length/height, but is by no means chubby. As for diapers, the cloth AIO's are beginning to fit him, but his weight is still tiny so they get "gappy" when he fills them. We are in size 2 Huggies disposable diapers now, but again they sort of look big on him. At the doctor's office, he weighed 12lbs. 10oz, and measures 24.5 inches. He is still in the average range on the scale, so I guess I am not too concerned (especially since he is a healthy eater).
*Meal Time*
We are still using Breastflow bottles and Similac Sensitive for Spit-up. We were mixing rice into his night bottle, but during the holiday travels and his lack of poop diapers, we backed off on that. We just started adding rice to his purees. At Christmas we introduced Carrots, which he loved and gobbled up quickly. Then at New Year's, we tried Sweet Potatoes. We were so wrong about the carrots, he LOVES sweet potatoes. Once we got home, we introduced squash and again he had no problem with them. We have been feeding him at first 1/2 stage 1 jar of food, but quickly found that was not enough for our growing boy, so now he eats an entire 1 jar. This past weekend we introduced bananas at lunchtime and continued with either carrots, sweet potatoes or squash around dinnertime. We mainly feed him Earth's Best/Beechnut/Gerber Organic jar food as we introduce new veggies and fruit to him, but will soon be transitioning to making our own purees (special thanks to Mom for the great books).
Last night, we introduced Mum-Mums rice husks, which he seemed to enjoy. We now cannot eat a meal without B getting involved. He reaches out for our plates, stares us down from his Bumbo as we eat, or just voices his displeasure that we will not sure our yummy food with him.
*Temperment*
He is a very well-behaved baby and a cuddler. He loves to be held but is perfectly content hanging out in his Bumbo, Boppy, FP Ocean Wonders Bouncer, FP Swing, Exersaucer, FP Jumparoo or laying on the floor on one of his play mats. He makes the rotationthroughout all of these stations and seems to enjoy the newness of each of them.
*Play Time*
We have really expanded playtime recently. We introduced the Jumparoo while on our holiday travels (acutally picked up in SC while visiting one grandma) and he loves it. He gets it bouncing and swinging and loves all the toys. Before leaving for vacation, I purchased an Exersaucer and it was not until we got back that he really got the hang of it. He is short for both the Exersaucer and the Jumparoo, so under the exersaucer we have a box from a Disney music collection and the WiiFit board underneath the Jumparoo. His gripping skills are excellent; almost too good. He grabs for his toys and pulls on stroller toys, car seat dangling toys, and anything in his zone for gripping, including faces, jewlery, fingers and dishes. He loves to stand and move his feet...but of course we are holding him up. He tries to put one foot in front of the other as someone (typically Husby) guides him and hold his body weight up.
*Sleepy Time*
He still sleeps through the night...bedtime anywhere from 10 to 11:30 in the evenings and wakes anywhere from 7 to 8am. He currently wakes himself up by rolling over to his belly. He naps mainly in his cribs, but sometimes his morning nap is taken in his swing. Typically he takes 2 long naps during the day (long in B's world is an hour) and there is usually one in the morning 9-10am time frame and then an afternoon nap around 2-3pm. Sometimes he takes quick cat naps throughout the day; but they only last 15 minutes at best.
