I will say that I am not the momma who wishes he was itty-bitty (newborn) still. I have LOVED watching him grow up! The fact that he is beginning to take on a personality is priceless to me.
Trey and I look forward to the day when Bear can say, "I love you momma & daddy" & when he can use words to express and communicate his feelings. Am I rushing it? No. I just look forward to those days.
I will say this much, I have embraced and basked in every moment of his development...but this stage has been the most fun...SO FAR!!!
Doctor's Check-up:
Weight: 18.1 lbs. & in the 63%
Height" 27.5 in. & in the 83%
Head circumference: 18.5 & in the 99%...not surprised. Have you seen his daddy's head?!?!? :)
Things you can do:
1) You can sit up
2) You can roll from your tummy to back...and you just started going from your back to tummy (at random occasions).
3) You like to grab the spoon from me when I am feeding you.
4) You can hold your bottle; however, you'd much rather mommy & daddy do it! Little stinker.
5)You are "speaking" as you should for this stage of the game.
Still working on:
1) Getting your head/neck completely straight...you have what Ms. Kelly said a 10degree tilt to the left. We have finished PT but are now taking you to see Dr. Magee for some chiropractic work. Praying that this gets you completely straight!
2) Getting some teeth...and I don't see any arriving in the near future. I was almost a year when I first got teeth...for now I will continue soaking in that gummy grin!
Other than that you are growing like a weed and doing things in your own time...and that's ok.
You love Baby Eistein..well, only the 'World of Colors.' I got you two more but they speak in all different languages and, well, you don't like it. Simple as that. I can't blame you...learning one language is enough.
You are riding in your 'big boy' carseat. Bye bye to the infant carrier! You were way to heavy to tote around in that carseat.
You tried your kiddie pool out for the first time on June 8th. You kicked some but that was the extent of your fun. So, I am not really sure what you thought. Granted I didn't put much water in it....maybe that's why?
You sat in a high chair for the first time on June 24th. We were in Wilmington, NC and we went to dinner with your grandparents- Gary & Judy (momma's spiritual parents). They have done alot for us. They have supplied you with diapers, wipes, Butt paste (desitin), body wash, shampoo, lotions, formula, and cereal. All the practical things that we need for you...not to mention the loads of money it has saved us! We are extremely grateful for them.
Mae-Mae gave you some 'puffs-' apple flavored on June 26th. You didn't know what to think at first but you have grown fond of them. You are still getting the hang of picking them up and putting them in your mouth...you will get there. Oh and Mae-Mae is your daddy's aunt. So, your great aunt.
Naptime has become quite comical. It consists of you rolling over and in many cases we have come to check on you only to find a sleeping baby on his back with his blankie curled up in his face.
Well, I had to include the last little bit or else I probably would have forgot... :)
