7 Month D/A

Brenton had a 7 month appointment today, mostly just to get the second part of his flu shot. He did really well with it, was only mad at us for holding his hands down.. the shot didn't bother him at all :) The Nurse just loves him.. she told him today that he cracks her up. He lifts his head up like he's doing crunches, but also lifts his legs up so he can see his feet and everything else. His abs are so tight, haha! She teased and said he has his own exercise routine. Silly boy!

Doctor said that he needs to slow down on eating though. He's eating 30oz of formula along with solids 3 times a day. He wants his formula intake to be around 22-24oz. So, we're just going to eliminate a feeding, and go down on the oz at one feeding from 6oz to 4oz. He said for sure.. NO feedings in the night. Which is why we up'd his intake of formula.. so we'll see.


He is now 21lbs 13oz (90%), and get ready for the height.. 31 INCHES (off the charts STILL!)! He's so dang tall, lol.

Just an update :)

My Big Boy!

Brenton is 6 1/2 months now and he has many talents lately, so I think I'll update!

He can sit up by himself now pretty well, but now he's learned that leaning forward, means tummy time lol. He actually doesn't mind being on his stomach.. we have come a long way for that. He'll lean forward and try to grab EVERYTHING he sees.. his favorite is the laptop, lol. Even in his high chair now, he leans so far I swear he's going to fall out. I may have to start strapping him down, lol. So, when he leans forward, he lands on his tummy and then laughs and turns on his back.

He knows how to reach for people now as well. When I go to greet him in the morning, he reaches his arms out for me to pick him up, and he did it with MIL today too. Like I said.. he is grabbing everything in sight.

Anyway, just an update :)
