- You weigh 21lbs., 3oz (60th%tile).
- You are 29 inches (I think, the sheet it was written on was tossed out while dad was washing mom's car). I do know it was the 81st %tile.
- Your head is 18.75 inches. The nurse measured it at 19in. which was in the 98th%tile...WHOA! :), but Dr. Smiley remeasured and got a slightly smaller measurement. We didn't get the new %tile.
- You wear size 3 diapers and size 12 month clothing, but 18 month pajamas seem to fit you best.
- You have 5 teeth and the 6th is coming in. Four on the top and two on the bottom.
- You sleep about 8-9 hours straight through at night. You still wake up sometime between 3:30 a.m. and 5:00 a.m., but Mommy doesn't mind so we haven't tried to sleep train you just yet.
- You eat three meals a day, nurse twice a day, and take 4 bottles of formula a day.
- You have become quite a picky eater! You love all fruits, but detest most vegetables (with the exception of sweet potatoes and carrots). Sometimes you even fake cry when I put a bite of vegetables in your mouth...especially if they're green! If you don't cry you will turn your head, arch your back, bat at your ear, and make a yucky face. It's hard not to laugh!
- You LOVE to feed yourself. You enjoy fruit puffs, toast, and shredded cheese.
- You are now mobile! While I wouldn't say you are technically crawling, you can definitely get wherever you want by army crawling/slithering on your tummy. You're a quick little booger too! You love to chase Cassius and try to touch him, but I don't think he likes this game as much as you do.
- Your favorite toys continue to be things that you're not really supposed to have. In the living room, you usually shoot straight for the fireplace or the blinds. You also love Dad's keys (Mommy won't give you hers :)). You cry and cry if we take something away from you that you're playing with.
- You understand "kisses" and "up". I'm sure you understand more, but those two words you physically respond to. When I ask for kisses you turn towards me and bring an open mouth towards me. :) You put your arms out when I say we're going up.
- You're still a happy baby and you smile and squeal a lot. You've also started doing this over-the-top adorable scrunchy face thing. You scrunch up your nose, squint your eyes, and blow out of your nose really fast. When we do it to you, you'll do it back...most of the time. :)
We love, love, love you Cade and there's no greater gift than watching you grow and learn new things. We are so blessed!
