Our big boy was 17lbs, 11 oz, which puts him in the 55% range for weight. He was over 23 inches for height, which puts him in the 70th percentile! Can you believe that!?! He might actually be tall! How cool would that be!?! Well hey, I'll even take average!!!
Anyhow, here are some things he's up to:
- Sleeping: 10 - 11 hours at night. He usually goes to bed at 7:30 - 8pm, and is out until I have to wake him up around 6:30am - 7am. He then typically sleeps around 3 to 4 hours during the day.
- We are on lots more 'solid' food. He eats oatmeal and bananas together in the morning, and then 3 more meals during the day. The ladies at daycare get excited when they see more food in his bowl. But we space it out appropriately.
- He's drinking less and less milk...breast milk, that is. No formula-- yet. Thank goodness he's drinking less. As of this week, I've officially cut one pumping session-- so I only pump four times per day now. (I actually never breast feed him, he only gets breast milk...I can't even remember the last time I breast fed him.) Anyhow, he drinks about 26-28 ounces per day spaced out into 5 sessions.
- The mix of bottles and sippy cups. We have started sippy cups during his morning meal and during his dinner meal, but we keep with the bottle for school.
- Bryce loves to stand. Loves loves loves it. He could stand all day. In fact he'll stand while just holding on to the couch. I'll just hold his hand and he'll stand. We even started practicing to walk, because he's acting like he wants to take steps.
- As much as he loves to stand, he HATES tummy time. No, he loathes tummy time. So, there's no initiating rolling over by himself yet. But we anticipate that coming soon.
- He seems more alert every day, just soaking up the world around him. So much fun!
That's it for now! We have official 6-month pics this weekend, so that should be lots of fun!!!
27 inches, not 23...
