He just keeps getting cuter. And a little more stable.
Sadly, he was a little under the weather this weekend, so he was low on smiles, and heavy on shots like this...
He's doing well, though - he has more abs then E ever did, E regularly congratulates him on his neck strength ("Aw, buddy, you're stable!"), he's pretty solid on flipping from his back to his belly (via his left side, anyway), and he is working on his skydiver maneuver.
He has never been as roly poly as E and only recently noticed his feet (but shows no interest in eating them or performing nasal excavations with them). He passes his toys back and forth to find the best angle for getting them to his gums. He's happiest under anything new that he can check out (the bottom of the futon thrilled him for half an hour yesterday). He's probably behind E in the rolling/sitting category but ahead in the head lifting/abs category, for whatever that's worth.
He has some pretty cute giggles that come out for E most evenings, he'll babble with anyone who smiles at him, and he wants to eat with the big kid - thus far he has gummed on apple and broccoli, but he shocked me by successfully eating the first piece of corn I offered him a week or so ago.
He's still pretty inconsistent on sleep. He's not a huge napper, but does this hilarious thing where he gets really mad that he's awake and yells then suddenly passes out. Some nights he'll sleep all night, most he wakes once, some he wakes twice or more - so much for letting me find my rhythm! But the most amusing thing is that he has found his own self-soothing in the rings hanging in his crib (safe, I swear). If he's having trouble falling asleep, he just grabs one on each side and talks to them until he's down. Very cute (and much less difficult than mr. pat-me-until-I'm-asleep-and-army-crawl-out).
By the home measurements, he's 27" and 16.8 lbs. He's starting to be more long than chub, although I did realize yesterday that he actually has something to hold up his diaper, unlike the other males in this family (anyone know where to get 28x34 men's jeans?)
One last shot, because it reminds me of this.
(Yes, I did get his arm unstuck and he was much happier.)
Love it! The part where he yells then passes out cracked me up. The look on his face in the last pic is priceless.
