* We go for his 6 mo. check up next week, so I'll post stats then. I'm guessing 17-18 lb? I don't know though. He just feels heavy to me! I am struggle to tote he and his carseat around. Once he's a little more 'advanced' at sitting up, I won't have this issue. (Side story: Today, we put Kruz in the front of the shopping cart with Gabriella...they were so stinkin' cute! She held onto him...such a protective, great big sis. This set up may work for a bit...we'll see...)
* Kruz is pushing up on all fours for longer periods of time, and still rocking away, eager to 'go'! He's rolling and scooting himself all over the place! Very curious...and V-E-R-Y determined. We'll call it 'passionate'. Passion is a good thing. :) When he sees something he wants (ie: the video monitor), you almost can't pry him away from the idea. I do hope he continues to be ambitious and hard-working as he grows.
* He's finally enjoying more baby food. He'll eat: sweet potatoes, bananas, green peas, carrots, peaches, and mangoes. He'll tolerate apples and pears on a good day. He feels the exact same about avacados as his Mommy: he literally GAGGED. Although I'm slightly proud that this may be evidence of a 'gene' I passed down (?!), for health reasons, I do hope he begins to love it as much as Daddy & Sissy.
* So, not as if you care, but for documentation purposes: He takes a bottle around 7-8 pm, then goes to bed. He wakes around 4 or 5am for another bottle and goes right back to sleep. He wakes again around 7-7:30 am for another bottle, followed by cereal & a little fruit, and then a (brief)nap shortly after. Another bottle around 10-10:30 ish, then a little baby food for 'lunch'. Possibly a brief nap, depending on the first. Bottle around 1-2 pm, followed by typically the 'main' nap of the day. Still not a huge deal, but possibly up to 2 hrs on a great day. Fortunately this is the same time that Gabriella naps...little break for Mommy= yes, please! Bottle around 5 pm ish, a short evening nap, and then cereal and veggie, followed by night time bottle. Whew, he seems to eat a lot! But...it's not as much as it seems-just often. He's not eating large amounts at once, 3-7 oz in a bottle, often about 5. Not eating huge amounts of food...maybe 1/2 a jar. **If you are reading this, and have a baby of similar ages, what's working for you?
*He is a super HAPPY baby, laughing, smiling, 'talking' (screaming) a lot. He loves interaction, making faces, for Sissy to play with him. He's crazy in love with his 'jumpy'...and so am I! He's a strong little jumper! He's lately been enjoying books...I am making a conscious effort to take the time to introduce him to books. I did that a lot with Gabriella, and she LOVES books. It's harder that he's the 2nd baby, but worth every effort in my mind.
* I think I posted that he said "mama" a couple of times. No update on that one. :)
