Our little champ went from being in the 25th percentile at his 6 month check up to the 75th percentile for
his 9 month check-up (both weight and height). Now that’s what we are talking about! You go Gage!!! Since he had such trouble keeping his weight in the beginning, it is a relief to know that he is picking up speed and digestively things are getting better for him. Yes, he still spits up---frequently. But we are seeing a decrease in the amount that comes out. Gage has been sleeping great through the night for a good four to five months now (minus the one week when he learned to pull himself up in his crib but then didn’t know how to get down. Once he pulled himself up he would cry for help. We would go in and lay him back down, and before we were out of the room, he’d flipped over and was crawling to the railing so he could again pull himself up. Thanks to Maralee who gave us a great book to read on how to address the issue. One week later and we were back to sleeping through the night again). On the flip side, he is an EARLY morning child and generally wakes up between 5:30 am – 6:00 am. Somedays we are super lucky and he wakes up at 6:15 am. Rob and I are not morning people at all. I think he got the early morning gene from Grandpa Hill. We’ve tried all sorts of ways to try and encourage him to sleep a little longer but our efforts have been in vain.
A few of his favorite things to do:*Crawl
*Play with cooking utensils
*Take Baths
*Be around people—the kid seriously loves to watch people
*Eat table food
A few things he doesn’t like:
*Getting his diaper changed
*Not being able to chase Cooper
*Being in a car seat
*Not having the freedom to move during Sacrament meeting
