Dear Jude,
This past month with you was so much fun! I love to see your goofy personality blooming. You love to talk {in a language only a mama can understand} and SQUEAL and laugh. It is so fun to hear you in the mornings babbling away... and perhaps seeing how low and high pitched you can squeal.
Your hands now grab everything in sight... including {especially} mommy and daddy's faces and hair. They are very effective at getting whatever you want in your mouth. This includes your feet. ;-)
We stopped swaddling you this past month. You were breaking out regularly, so we went cold-turkey and you continued to sleep without a hitch! You are currently sleeping okay. Your new awareness of the world makes rolling and grabbing your feet and playing with the little mirror on the side of your crib WAY more exciting than sleeping... or eating. So there was a period where you were waking up at midnight instead of 3am. That seems to only have lasted a week though. You still get up 1 or 2 times a night. Your bedtime is still 7:30 and you get up for the day between 7:30-8am! Still taking three solid naps a day, too!
You love your jumperoo! It gets a smile out of you almost every time! You're still a bit too short so we put a pillow under your feet. :-) You also love your play mat and love looking outside or just being outside. We try to take a walk every day after your first nap. You have started noticing when someone other than mommy or daddy is holding you and you aren't so sure about this yet!
You rolled over for the first time recently! Belly-to-back... so now there is no real way to keep you doing tummy time. :-) But you really don't mind it near as much anymore and will tolerate it for longer periods of time. Your favorite is still sitting up and standing. You try to roll over back-to-belly, but haven't quite figured out how to get over that arm!
At your doctors appointment we discovered that you weigh 14lbs 4oz and are 26.5" long! I was surprised you didn't weigh more, but I knew you were a long skinny guy {like your daddy}. You are in the 50th percentile for weight and the 90th percentile for height! You are officially in 6 month clothes... and think in the next month we'll have to move up to the 6-9 month clothes. HOLY MOLY!!!
It continues to be such a joy to be your mama. I am so glad you are my boy.
Love you Mr.Bubbster,
Mama
