You made a double jump on your head growth in 2 months. If you continue to make a big growth again the pediatrician may want to do a head scan to make sure everything is developing properly and closing appropriately (I think you just have a big head!)

 

 

 

 

- You are still wearing 3 month clothes, but with 6 month hoodies. 

 

-Wearing Size 2 diapers and you don't like being really wet (and I can't blame you!)

 

- Still eating 4 oz of milk, but have eaten as much as 6 oz in one feeding

 

-You met your Uncle David and Auntie Mandy and Cousins Maddie and Riley this month when they came to visit you from 11/9-11/13

 

 -You love to watch tv..I think it is all the bright colors and movement

 

- You went to vote with mom in your first election!

 

- Tummy time is still not on your list of favorite things to do, but you are getting much stronger at holding your head up so its paying off

 

- You have become very vocal and noisy and we have now heard your baby giggles which are the best

 

-You love to smack your lips together and make noises

 

- You have began to drool, but are not cutting any teeth. Salivary glands have kicked in

 

- You love to smile and coo at Mom and Dad and know who we are.

 

- You love to chew on your fingers and explore things by putting them in your mouth

 

- You love your play gym (especially after we added a few new rattles and dangly things to it!) and are content there for over an hour

 

 

- We finally put you in your own room in your own crib (no more Pack 'N Play) (11.26.12)

 

 - You are still not sleeping through the night (and mommy really wishes that you would!)

 

All bundled up on a cold night, in your new mohawk hoodie from grandma

 

-You can hold your bottle by yourself

 

 

-You celebrated your first Thanksgiving..Mommy's Little Turkey!
