About Me

Thursday, September 24, 2009

Andrew turned 7 months old yesterday. I can hardly believe it. I feel like he's practically a year old but Joe points out that it's really closer to 6 months than a year. I feel like he's grown up so much more quickly with Amelia. He's changed a LOT over the last three months!!

He is still pretty easy going but he's definitely finding out what he wants and expressing his desires. For instance, he has decided that he hates the high chair. He'll eat okay but when he's done, he's DONE. He's very observant and wants to see anything, he can't eat if he knows there's something more interesting going on. He loves TV which is scary since I didn't even letit ends soon! He's also been going to bed REALLY early (like 6:00PM!) so we have been trying to keep him up a little longer so that he will sleep better. Last night he woke up at 11 and ate a bottle and then had another bottle at 5:30AM then slept until 7:30AM. Not a HORRIBLE schedule but I'd like to go back to the all-night routine!

He had his 6 month checkup last week. He's 29 inches long and 20.5 pounds. He has outgrown his infant carrier at 6 months even though I took him out of it well before then because he was too heavy! It puts him around the 95th percentile for height and 85th for weight. Another BIG child! He seems to be doing well
