Height: 25 inches - again not sure on this one since it is hard to measure him and no dr. apt this month
Eating/Nursing: Caleb is still a great eater and sleeper most of the time. He usually eats around 7 or 8 for the first time in the morning and is on a pretty regular 3-4 hour schedule still during the day. He sometimes sleeps all night from about 10-8 or sometimes gets up one or two times to nurse during the night, we never really know :)
Wake time: He continues to be more playful during his wake time. He smiles and sometimes laughs whenever you come up and talk to him, even when we first get him up in the morning. Then he starts screaming because he is hungry:) He is starting to play with his toys and if we can help him he will hold his little toy seal and Sophie for a short period. He is starting to put anything he can in his mouth and you can see him trying to figure out how to get many things to his mouth. It is so cool to see his brain working on trying to figure out all these new things! He is liking books more and more, he really seems interested in the simple books we have which are colors/numbers etc. He also is making great progress with tummy time. We now have to start him on the back of his play mat because he scoots up to the top pretty quickly.
Napping: We are still struggling a bit with this. He is pretty consistent that he needs a short nap every 3 hours or so. Most of the time these naps are 15-20 minutes long but I am starting to see a trend in his morning nap being a little longer and hoping we can get one of the afternoon naps to be a little longer as well. For the most part he takes about 4-5 naps a day and they range from 15 minutes to almost an hour if we are lucky:)
Night Sleep: Besides a few days here and there he continues to sleep great at night. We are working on regulating his bedtime which has been hard to do with company and daddy's travel schedule. But I think we are settling into bath time around 8 and in bed by about 9 or 9:30, he then will sleep until 6 or 7, later he goes to bed the later he sleeps in it seems. We are still swaddling him loosely at night since it seems that the nights we have tried to go without it he wakes himself up.
Skills: He loves to stand up and sit up with assistance of course :) When you are sitting and holding him it is just about all he wants to do. During tummy time he manages to scoot himself forward on his play mat and talks up a storm. He continues to reach at toys and is still very fond of staring at his hands although I don't know that he has really discovered his feet yet. If we help him he holds onto Sophie and is starting to really open up his hands to feel and grasp objects.
Language: He is starting to make lots more noise and sometimes it sounds like he is saying some noises that sound like a sound mmm, oooo, eeee. He loves to talk during tummy time and already so often he seems like he is really trying to communicate back when we talk to him! He still loves songs and things like patty cake. One of his favorite things is when you blow on his face somehow, if you blow raspberries or anything like that he gets the biggest smile and often laughs out loud. He sometimes will blow raspberries himself and always gets a huge grin afterwords like he is so proud of himself.
Fun Facts: He is still our big growing boy and wears size 1-2 diapers (should be in 2's but we are still using up some 1-2's that we got before he was born as gifts) He is wearing 6 month pj's and mostly 6 month clothes. A few of the larger 3 month things still fit him but for the most part he is in all 6 month cloths. He loves to smile and always does when someone talks to him or when he sees a new smiling face :) Light up toys seem to be his favorite these days, he loves his light up aquarium in his crib and his little light up singing toy.
A few facts for his "baby book"
9.5 weeks - first nap in the crib June 1st
9 weeks - sings songs with mommy, often coos and tries to sing with me as I sing him songs.
First Laugh on June 15th - blow raspberries at him nice and close to his face :)
Started playing with hands a lot at the beginning of June.
Started to discover and stare at his hands and stare at them constantly around June 16th.
Here were a bunch I took one day...too cute to not add a few of them!
Here is Caleb somewhat holding his seal that Jared named "Freddie"
Napping in Mommy and Daddy's room in my pack n' play
This one is a little dark because we didn't want to use a flash to wake him up but thought it was so cute that he fell asleep during story time!
A little time on his play mat
