Growing Boy!

Sorry if this post is boring, just wanted to give you guys an update of what K is up to. I measured him a couple days ago and he was 25.5 in (not sure how accurate that is). Last week I weighed him and he was about 15lbs.

He eats 5.5 oz of formula and 6 tsp of rice every 3 hrs. K's during the night bottle has not been consistent. He always goes to bed at 10, but he wakes up different times. It can be anywhere from 4 to 6 that he wakes for a bottle, then goes right back to sleep (no rocking or anything!) until 7:30 or so. It's wonderful.

He only has a few days left of the antacid medicine, so we'll see how he does. They say they usually only need it for a mth.

He's been sitting up, he can last probably 5-10 sec by himself, without being propped. When he starts to topple over, he's starting to catch himself and sit back up. I can't believe how strong the little thing is!

Found the toes awhile ago (a mth or more), but now he pulls on them. He found his hands a few weeks ago. Found his head, he likes to help me wash his hair, its so cute. Loves to grab things and hold on.

He started cooing probably around a mth, and when we left from vacation he cooed a little more. Over the weekend he started to carry big conversations. He will go on for 15 to 30 min at a time. It melts my heart :) Just to hear that little voice cooing. I'm trying to take a video, but every time I get my camera out he stops and stares at it. He's also been laughing.

He doesn't fuss too much anymore unless he's tired or hot/cold. It depends on the day when his nap is and how long he will sleep.

He's been scooting for awhile. Every once and awhile he will get his knees up. He loves to do the airplane. We hold on to his chest and he can keep his head and his legs straight. Its amazing!

He's starting to reach for you. Joe will be holding him and I will say "Come to mama" and he leans out with his arms open and gets all excited. That's such a wonderful feeling!

I'm just amazed at how much they change in 3.5 mths. He has a doc appointment Oct 13th. They are going to start him on solids and start his vitamins. There is more things I'm sure that he's been doing just can't think of them right now.

This was in no way boring! It seems like he is changing every week! Hearing him "talk" is so sweet, he's just adorable. Thats awesome that he is doing so well, we will be praying for you guys, that everything goes smoothly coming off the antacids.
