Today Jr turned 21 weeks! It's so amazing watching my lil man grow and discover this whole new world! With our anniversary in 2 days, Christmas in 10, and New Year's a week after that, and then the end of the season 3 days after New Year's, we are always going nonstop it seems....tis the season! Nonetheless, it's time to highlight what Jr has been up to this past week.
20 week highlight:
-Jr absolutely loves to play in his jumperoo. He can go around in a complete circle in his saucer and if he's fussy he'll calm down almost immediately as you put him in it. This week he has absolutely gone crazy in it; jumping around and having a ball of fun in it!
-Jr can sit up on his own for about quite a few secs, but he can tripod for about 5 mins all by himself. He loves to sit up and enjoys playing with (or more like trying to eat) his toys when he's sitting.
-Jr can roll and definitely prefers to be on his back rather than his stomach; maybe that's why he learned how to roll from his stomach to his back first. He's loves to roll to his side when he's on the back, especially to the left side.
-I left him alone playing on his gym the other day and when I came back a couple minutes later he was turned a 180 degrees from where I had left him. He definitely loves to move and so comes to our end of leaving him unattended.
-He no longer sleeps on his wedge, because he loves to roll off of it.
-We had to take the bumpers out of his crib, because he moves all over the place in his crib now.
-Jr continues to eat 3 tbsp of baby food and 1 tbsp of barely cereal 3x/day and of course loves his breast milk. I breast feed him at every meal and always offer a bottle afterward to make sure he gets enough to eat.
-Jr continues to sleep 11-12 hrs at night. He takes 2 naps during the day for about 40 mins and one during the evening for about 30 mins. Lately we've been able to get him to take a 1.5 hr nap during at least one of his naps.
-We gave Jr a teether today, since he puts everything else in his mouth we decided why not give him something that is suppose to go into his mouth. He really didn't care for it at first, but after awhile he thought it was okay to chew on.
“Wait for the LORD; be strong and take heart and wait for the LORD.”-Psalm 27:14
