I love my little monkey! He is sooo fat! It is kind of wierd to think that when he was born he was really skinny. Well, he's starting to thin out now that he is actively rolling over both directions and crawling. Anyway, we had a doctor's appointment on 19 September. He weighed 16 lbs, 8 oz. The nurse measured him at almost 26", though when she measured him, he was sitting on an inclined bed which made him slouch...and his legs were bent...so I think he is closer to 27"....but that is neither here nor there. Either way, he is pushing the 75th-80th percentiles in both weight and height. His head has stayed since birth right on the 50% line. He is really good about his shots. He reacted the same this time as he did last time. He cried when he got the shots...kind of a whimper with the first one and a full blown wale with the second...he cried for a little while afterwards...then went to sleep. He slept for the rest of the day and most of the next day. He had a bit of a fever...but not much else. He isn't really a fussy baby...so we don't really have to worry about it. Anyway...the doctor also said that he has hit a maturity level where he should start sleeping through the night. So...we have been told that we have to start letting him cry it out if he wakes up too often in the night. I can only feed him once a night...but he has to go back in his crib and sleep till morning. It's really hard sometimes...but Ron helps me...and I think Braeden forgives us. The trick is to just keep the baby monitor turned off for the first half of the night...then turn it on and wait for him to wake up for his one feedingat about 2 or 3am and leave it on for the rest of the night. Sometimes I have to turn the TV way up to drown out his crying...it's so hard...but in the end it is for the best...so I have to be strong...anyway...other than that...we're all good.
