- 21lbs, 6 ozs., 30 inches long, 18 1/2 in head circumference
- Big Brown Eyes
- Light Brown Hair that is starting to curl a little in the back
- Wearing 12 month clothing and 18 month pajamas \\ Pampers Size 3 diapers
- Nicknames: Little Man, Baby Ford, Brother Bear, Buddy, Bubba
- Firsts: Crawling like a champ! It's more of an army crawl, but man can you move.
- You started crawling up onto things - lower of coffee table, under your bouncer, etc.
- You got your first tooth - and 5 others quickly after! Your bottom two teeth came in first, followed by your top 4 next. Man, were they a doozy. You didn't sleep well, cried a lot, didn't want to eat or nurse and were just not a happy camper. So un-like you.
- Tricks: Recognizing your name, laughs, talking/babbling, pinching things with your two fingers, sitting up well, but still can't move from laying to sitting yet. You like to prop up on one side and play with a toy. You love when you spot mommy, daddy or sissy and you come crawling!
- Food: Momma's Milk - We send three 5 oz. bottles during the day and you nurse in the morning and at night. You love oatmeal, bananas, sweet potatoes, carrots, butternut squash, apples, peas, green beans, corn, etc. We tried kale and you had a terrible tummy ache that night, so we are staring clear of green leafy veggies for the moment. We started giving you pieces of avocados, bananas, peas, eggs, crumbled meats, bread, crackers, yogurt. Really anything that is small and soft you have tried and love. You are a great eater! Three meals a day.
- We traveled to the Gulf Coast and spent almost two weeks at the beach. You traveled great - getting a little fussy during flight with your ears, since you didn't take a paci and we timed feedings not well. But it wasn't too bad.
- You loved the beach and wanted to be on the move.
- We enjoyed a ton of time with cousins, aunts, uncles and got to visit with your great-gramps. It was a very special visit! We also spent a ton of time with the Mangos and their families and you loved getting to snuggle with your god-momma.
- You're not sure about the grass and how it feels, but you make the best faces when we put you in in!
- Sleep: After a month or so of waking up every three hours to eat, we finally have you sleeping!! You go down between 6:30/7 and wake up around 6 AM. On May 1 we finally let you cry the one time you work up and you were just fine sleeping until 5 AM.
- You are a good napper, giving us 2 strong naps during the day. 9:30 am and 2 pm.
- You love to sleep in a sleep sack on your belly in your crib.
- You love Mrs. Stephanie who keeps you during the work-days and we love how sweet she is with you.
- You love the booster seat and high chair, frog seat, bouncer and your new porch chair. However, you'd much rather be down on the ground and moving.
- You have started to play independently and as long as you don't see us, you enjoy crawling all over the play room and exploring all your sisters toys.
- We moved you forward facing in the ergo and you love looking out!
- Still going strong without a paci.
- Purchases this month: pj's, clothes, sun hat and sunscreen, lots of teethers,
