19 weeks

That's how old our little guy is now! Here's the latest:
  • He weighs about 15 lbs. which is about the 50th percentile.
  • I forget how long he is, but I think it was around the 80th percentile, & his head is still in the 5-10 percentile, so over all his 'stats' have stayed about the same.
  • He LAUGHS a lot more now & it's awesome.
  • He LOVES bathtime now & often gets upset when it's over.
  • I think we've officially finished off the size 1 diapers & are on to size 2!
  • He plays in the bumbo chair & exersaucer a lot & is very entertained with his hands and any toys he can grab. I think he prefers sitting to lying down now.
  • No rolling over yet, although he makes it halfway, then rolls back. He also lifts his head up when he's on his back, or in his carseat.
  • He has just developed a bump on his gums where I would assume a bottom right tooth would appear...not sure if that's what's happening, but it's a definite possibility, especially since he spends so much time chewing on his fingers (he prefers the index & middle fingers on his left hand, but sometimes has those fingers of both hands in there at once).
  • We've worked hard to establish a bedtime routine & it is working well. It's pretty much just bathtime, storytime, last meal of the day, & bed. We start at about 6 or 6:30 & he's usually out between 7 & 8, so we're pretty pleased with that.
  • Speaking of sleep, he's kind of established his own nap routine too, which is nice. We've realized we have to 'catch' him early enough for a nap (i.e. the first yawn, or eye rub) or he will quickly turn into Mr. Crankypants & fight sleep completely.
  • Another favorite development: he talks & babbles all the time. It's adorable & I love his little voice! Although, he did decide he needed to test out that cute little voice at 3am this morning. Not sure what that was about, but he had a great conversation with himself for about an hour.

I think that's about it for now!
