22-35 Weeks! 6-8 Months old!
So here is the big update on Bear from the time that I was away from my blog.
This little guy has grown so much! He is now about 18 lbs. Wears a size 3 diaper, and size 3-6 months clothes. He also fits in some size 6-9 months clothes. He still is wearing a size 1 shoe.
Developmentally he has developed A LOT! He is now saying Mama, Baba, Dada, and Nana. He does not yet know what they mean but he is saying them all the time. He is now attached me Anthony and I and recognizes that we are his mom and dad. He prefers us over anyone else. He gets the concept of when something is hiding, it is not gone, and he looks around for it. He loves toys especially ones that make noise and light up. And the boy also loves him some cartoons! I mean seriously I have never seen a baby that was so interested in cartoons before. He cries for us to turn on the TV when it is off.
Physically he has developed a lot as well! At around 7 months he became very mobile he scoots everywhere! All the time! He even follows me around the house it is just the cutest thing! He started to sit unaided at 7.5 months and then pulled to his knees a few days later! Not but a few days after that he started to pull to a stand. He is wobbley still with his pulling to a stand and he is falling a lot but he is getting better and better! He still has not figured out how to walk in his walker.
He found his feet and grabs them all the time now.
His personality has really started to show now too! He is happy a lot and smiles at everything! He does get clingy sometimes but for the most part he loves everyone and smiles with everyone. He is just the sweetest thing!
He now is grabbing everything all the time. He does not give up easily like he used to, now if he wants something and we take it he will scream for us to give it back. He always wants what mommy and daddy has.
I think he is starting to look more and more like his daddy everyday. Some people agree and others say he looks just like me. Who knows? lol
He is eating 6 oz of formula every 2-4 hours and we are feeding him 2 jars of baby food a day. When Anthony and I have dinner we are putting him in his highchair and giving him a snack of finger-foods that he can feed himself. At this time we have only given him Gerber Biter Biscuits but we are going to try some other finger foods later this week (I am super exited!). We do this because every time he sees us eating he screams for our food, even if he just ate. The boy loves him some food!
He is now sleeping though the night and no longer uses a swaddle! He knows how to put his binky in his mouth now so if he does wake up in the night he can put it back in himself, unless he lost it, then we have to come look for it lol.
Health is all good! He does have a rash all over his knees that he has for almost 2-3 months now. He had it last time at the doctors visit and she said it was a common rash. I do plan to ask her about it again when we go there for his next round of shots at 9 months. But all in all, my sweet boy is doing great!
