Daily: You are still my very laid back little nugget. You are so chill all the time (well unless you are behind on your feedings) that sometimes it makes life so easy with two kids!! Thanks little guy, we appreciate that!! In the morning we have to wake you up now that I am back to work, so you get up anywhere from 645-7 am and on the weekends we let you sleep till your ready (usually till about 730-8 am). Now that you are at the sitter, I am not 100 percent sure what your schedule is like during the day, I just know that you sleep a lot!!! I do know for sure that you have to have a little siesta when you get home fro the sitters because you are always a bit cranky, so we have been letting you nap before dinner and you seem to enjoy those 30-60 minutes of quiet time! On the weekends you like to wake up, eat and then take a little morning nap. Then you are up for a bit, then you take another nap, and we usually get a very good afternoon nap out of you.You nap anywhere from 1 hour to 4 hours and boy are those four hour stretches nice!! You still go down for nap time and bedtime without being asleep and without any fuss!!!

Bedtime: We are still sticking to your bedtime routine and so far we have had no issues. Even when we are out places, we like to put you down around the normal time we put you in bed so that you are sticking with your routine! You eat dinner anywhere from 7 pm-730 pm and then we immediately put you down for bedtime- usually around 8-815 pm! You are still getting swaddled up because I think you sleep so sound when you are wrapped up. You are breaking free like a little jailbird, but I am going to try to keep you in until you start kicking those little legs out!! You are fully sleeping through the night! You have not gotten up for a nighttime feeding the past month at all. You sleep soundly till we wake you up! It sure is nice! You love to sleep and it really shows at nighttime! We play your little sound machine for you, and you go to bed with your binkie, but if it falls out you don't cry for us to come put it back in your mouth.
Eating: You are eating every 3-4 hours during the day (mostly 3) and eating 5 oz at each feeding! We are still nursing about 12-15 minutes on each side, and it takes you about 30 minutes to eat a bottle! We just moved up in the nipple size on your bottle in high hopes you would eat a bit faster! I think it is working, and your not sucking it down to fast so we will see how it goes. Your brother really likes giving you a bottle in the morning as we are getting ready for work, and you don't seem to mind let him help you. You are still doing a great job nursing, and now that I am back to work it stinks because we only nurse once a day and it seems as though you are getting a bit more distracted at that feeding. We have to be in the right mode to get you non distracted, but you are still doing great. The weekends you are awesome at nursing. I feel pretty lucky that nursing has gone so great this go around.i was worried that you wouldn't want to nurse, or when I went back to work it would be hard. But, just like with your brother my milk supply is an over abundant supply and you are doing great.
Sizes: You are still in 3-6 month clothes, and we are still rocking the 3 month pjs, but have put you in a few 6 month size pj's as well! Your 3-6 month clothes seem to fit just right. you are still wearing size 1-2 diapers by Huggies, and for a while we thought we were going to have to move you up to size 2 because you kept exploding out of your diaper, but it was just a few days of explosive poop!
Milestones: You have been giggling a ton this month, and are still smiling constantly. All we have to do is talk to you, tickle your little side or blow on your neck or belly and you giggle and smile like crazy. That is one thing you and your big brother have in common, you guys sure do giggle and smile a lot! Speaking of giggle, your little laugh is oh so adorable, it truly is to die for! You are always pretty intrigued with your play mat, and enjoy watching the toys dangle and will now hold on to them as they swing. You also still really love your swing. You love moving back and forth and giggle when you are in it sometimes! Its your place, because Carter cannot get in your face and bother you like he does when you play on the floor. Just remember all those get in your face moments, just means that he loves you a lot, and he is very intrigued about all the things yous are learning how to do. You also can hold on to your rattles and make them rattle. I have noticed that you really favor Carter's silk part of his blanket, but he is not a fan of letting you chew on it. So, I found your monkey that Mrs. Maryann got you and your enjoy sucking on the side of the lovey. We also sat you up in your bumbo for the first time a week ago, and you enjoyed it for a matter of two seconds. You looked like such a big boy sitting up in it! You also are a big fan of sucking on your fist, and we have caught that thumb of yours in your mouth quite a few times. Mommy was a thumb sucker, and I secretly hope that you are not.
We Love you,
Mom and Dad
