6mo doctor visit, new height and weight

16lbs 8oz and 25 3/4".

A few shots today too, incl flu.

So many babies in the ped office today, and he was one of the bigger/older ones. It's so cliche but the speed of baby life really is unnerving.

Separation anxiety

Noticing it in him today like never before -- very sad crying if I leave the room where he's bouncing. Let's see where this goes.

Teething

No fun. No teeth yet, either

5 months today

Way behind on posting, sorry! Plan to catch up after Christmas -- lots of pics and little updates to share.

The boy is five months old today, and I think this past month went faster than any of the rest. Suffice it to say for now he's getting more rolly, laughy, chatty and fatty.

Here's him today in his hospital shirt. We wish everyone a happy and safe holiday!

Visit to the doctor

Going to the pediatrician (even though we love ours) makes me nervous, like a mix of job interview and midterm. But at today's four-month visit, we graded well. 

The boy's looking good, and for those who want the stats, he's now 24" (two feet tall!) and 13 lbs 13 oz.

We need to crack down on a static, early bedtime, as well as encouraging him to soothe himself to sleep rather than us doing all the work for him. Of course, when I tried that with his next nap, he went ballistic and now he's napping on my chest. One step forward and two back today, it seems. Better luck to me next time.

Oh and here he is at four months in his birth shirt -- first outfit he wore after his birthday suit.

Just happy to be here, hope I can help the ballclub
