Fat Baby No More:

So our fat baby is now an average baby! He only gained ONE pound since his four month check up and about 1 inch.

Height: 27 inches
Weight: 18 pounds

That puts him in the 50 percentile for his height and weight so he is now just an average Joe.

He can now sit up and play with toys and rarely falls but he is so jumpy that sometimes he loses his balance. He can also stand and hold himself up on a toy at playgroup (you can see him playing with it in the previous post at the rec center). We were able to snap this picture of him holding himself up on the couch at Owen's party a couple weeks ago before he lost his balance and fell on his bum!


Since he has gotten so good at sitting up we felt confidant in his ability to sit up in the tubby! Check him out with David. It is so nice to bathe both boys at the same time!



Next on the list of his accomplishments will hopefully be sleeping through the night! It's a work in progress and I am currently (thanks to some great tips from my mommy board) doing some hardcore sleep training with him. The first night was rough and I am not sure who shed more tears me, or him. But if a few bad nights means that he stops waking up every hour at night, then I'll take it.
