Eating: You are completely on formula now and are taking four bottles a day, each one between 4-6 oz. You are trying more meats (turkey, chicken, beef) and have started experimenting with solids. You are successfully eating puffs and cheerios at this point. You are obviously getting what you need now that we have completely switched to formula because you are growing, growing, growing!
Sleeping: This continues to be a struggle. The good news is that you typically sleep all night without waking up, however you are waking up between 5 and 5:30 in the morning, ugh! We just can't figure this out. Although, this morning you slept until 6:30, woohoo!!! Maybe, just maybe this will be a new trend. Mommy can only hope! You are taking two naps a day, on good days they are between 1 1/2 to 2 hours long. Lately you have been crying when we put you down to sleep, which is also a new habit. The doctor seems to think its an age thing and you are just protesting going to sleep because you would rather be with us.
Milestones: Its been a big month. I'm just going to bullet point them because there is a lot.
- You are sitting so well on your own, you have figured out how to get to your tummy from sitting to.
- Starting to push up when you are on your tummy, I think crawling will be coming soon.
- You can pick up little puffs or cheerios with your fingers and get them to your mouth (sometimes).
- Got your first tooth on June 18th
- Started clapping
- give big slobbery kisses on mom's cheek
- babbling like crazy (lots of da, ga, and just started ba)
- your eye (blocked tear duct) seems to have improved
- for the first time in a long time, you are not sick on your monthly birthday, yeah!
