Monthly Update

I'm barely squeezing this month's update into this month. Waaaay late on getting Griffin's chair photos. If you know him, you know how hard it is to get him to sit still. Honestly, it's also hard to catch him not filthy or naked. 

I'll start with Cooper like before, he's the one changing by the minute.

Height: 23 3/4 in
Weight: 12lbs 5 oz
Clothing size: 3-6 months
Diaper size: moving into Size 2

The rice cereal mixed in his bottles continues to keep him from vomiting. I'm hopeful that he's gaining weight at a faster rate so that his pediatrician will be happy. 

He is a favorite at daycare. Sorry if this is repetitive, but he has been referred to as "their best baby" many times. That is a relief since he was not a very good baby in the beginning and I was nervous about him starting daycare. 

He slept from 9pm to 6am last night. The night before, he got up twice. The night before that, he woke up once. It's really not too bad and he has always just been interested in eating then going back to sleep. 

I know that we are not scheduling Cooper's activities like we did Griffin's. I'm making more of an effort to get him lots of tummy time, reading books, and all the things that I could probably find a notebook of charts from when Griffin was a baby. Cooper is rolling to his side fairly well and enjoys sitting in the bumbo seat.

 

Griffin has even more funny phrases lately. He speaks in terms of things either being a "good idea" or "not a good idea". The things he wants to do are never the latter. He has gone from saying naughty words, to being the bad word police. "Don't say that!" when he hears them, so that has been nice. I have also recently realized that he actually says "gotfor" instead of "forgot". It's cute but we are working to correct that. 

I'm not sure about his height and weight. 
He hasn't had a potty accident in a long time.
He VERY RARELY wakes up in the night. 
He is extremely independent and wild and stubborn and strong-willed.
When Drew or I leave him, put him to bed, any kind of goodbye/goodnight.....he always needs a hug and a kiss, and an exchange of "I love yous". That makes up for all the rowdiness.
