First, here's a link to some new photos I put on Facebook :)
Andrew is getting so big so fast! Right now he's rolling onto his side while playing on the floor, sitting up with light support from my legs (or the Boppy pillow), teething (I can feel the top right canine - it's a little bump under his gums), and loves playing with rattles and whatever cloth he can reach (burp cloth, blanket, bib). He's also learning new facial expressions and sounds and likes to stand up on my lap. He loves it when somebody sings to him, and I think he's in a growth spurt - his neck is definitely longer, his whole body seems bigger, and he's been taking 40 minutes to nurse. And his diaper leaked a few times this week so I made it bigger and it fits around his legs better now... I sigh remembering the days that his little bum and legs were too small for the cloth diapers!
One of his little friends is already signing "milk" and "change"..... I guess I'm behind in learning and teaching my sign language! That's my goal for the next week - decide what words I want him to know first, find the signs for them, and start using them consistently. "Milk" and some sort of music/sing (depending on how easy the sign is) are definitely at the top.
His 4 month appointment is in 2 weeks... looking forward to getting the new stats! I think he's upwards of 17lb! That's my sweet, growing boy :-D
Music and Sing are the same sign, and it's really simple :-) I've found this website great for looking up words in sign.

Wow 17 lbs! I think Titus is 13 lbs :-)
ReplyDeleteI think it is awesome how God gives each mom and dad exactly the right baby for them...they are all so different, yet so amazingly precious :-)
