Another month has flown by, and my sweet boy, you have developed so much this month.
I don't actually know how much you weigh or how long you are. I imagine you haven't gained too much, you are a slim boy. But lengthwise you seem to grow like a weed. You are wearing 9 month sleepers. Petit Lem are my fave fitting Jammie's for you. Your 3 - 6 month shirts and sweaters from The Gap are getting to short in the torso, but remain wide on you. You can wear 0 - 3 month shorts from The Gap because your waist is small. And you are wearing a 6 - 12 month sleeper from The Gap which is ridiculously wide on you! I feel they should have a 6 - 9 month and a 9 - 12 month size at The Gap, 6 - 12 months is a 6 month gap!
This month you starting giggling, it is by far thee sweetest sound my ears have ever heard! This month we put you in your Jolly Jumper, which you love! At first you pretty well just marched, but you're bouncing more and more which will eventually be a full on jump. We also put you in your exersaucer and have a book under your feet, and a blanket behind your back, because your feet don't quite touch the ground and the seat is massive. This 'toy' is so great for you because it has many different activities for you to play with. You love spinning your seat around to play with the many different things! We still put you in your Mamaroo to watch Baby Einstein, which you LOVE! I think watching tv might be your favorite thing to do, unfortunately! But we don't allow you to watch too much of it. It looks like you'll grow out of it soon as you are getting so long. Your Bumbo is your least favorite toy to sit in.
You are reaching and grabbing for everything! If I am talking on the phone you are always trying to get it, if a toy or anything is in front of you, you pick it up. You are certainly a Mama's boy. However, you do not like to cuddle or be held close, which makes me sad! If we're around people you know, you are constantly staring at me, if I'm not holding you. If a stranger talks to you, you will either pout which may turn into a cry, or you will just stare at them, and no matter how hard they try to make you smile, you won't. You are a serious baby! You still have your pacifier, but aren't as dependent of it as you were 4 months ago. You really only use it now when you are napping or going to bed. Your Daddy was putting you to bed when he was home, but now you will only let me put you to bed, and cry if anyone else tries too. Your Nana and Papa babysat you a couple weekends ago and you cried for an hour and a half straight when your Nana was trying to put you to bed. She finally got you to sleep after taking you for a walk in your stroller. You hate the car. You love your stroller and going for walks on hot summer days. You love watching your puppy, Ruff! You have to have your blanky (which is fuzzy) up against your face to fall asleep. You still love to be swaddled but are now swaddled in a woombie, since you can break out of a blanket. You are not a great sleeper and eat every 3 hours and wake up numerous times for your pacifier, but sleep for 12 hours a night total. You wear a size 2 diaper and I was actually putting you in a size 1 diaper at night until today (we use two different diapers swaddlers during the day and baby dry at night). You have one tooth bud visible, which has been for quite a while and had a second one, but it disappeared. You've discovered how to scream and for now it is SO stinken' cute! You still dislike tummy time and are still only rolling from tummy to back. You refuse to take a bottle now. And since being diagnosed with gastroesophageal reflux disease at only a couple weeks old, I'm happy to say it has fixed itself like the pediatrician said it probably would between 4 - 5 months. :):). You were never one to spit up, you were just constantly very congested and cried while eating.
You continue to be the light of our lives and have developed so much this past month.
I love you to the moon and back my sweet baby!
