In happier news, he's been a big old chatterbox today and I caught a lot of it on video. I am taking the videos on the camera because it's the only thing I know how to get off the card and into the computer easily. This leads to suspect sound quality, but hopefully it's good enough for your listening and viewing pleasure. I have no idea how the videos affect people's ability to load the website, etc. so if you have any comments (good or bad, let me know) please do leave a comment with how it is (or is not) working for you. Notice in the video how well he sits and holds his head up on his own. Such a big boy now!
Probably forgot to mention recently that we ran out of size one diapers so we opened up the size two packs and have nearly gone through the first box. It's been a messy bum time with a baby with a cold - I never thought about it before: if they can't blow, they have to swallow and what goes in must come out. Once again I am so glad we had dogs before a baby, so I could start to gross-proof myself.
When we were at the doctor office we got measured again. Calvin is now 13.6 pounds and 25 and a half inches. He remains in the 65% percentile for his weight (therefore above average) and comes in at an amazing 95% percentile for his height. I have him in six month old sleepers (one piece with feet) and he just barely fits in some, and his legs are simply too long for others. Six months size! And he barely fits! (In the video he is wearing one of the outfits from Santo and Yobo - thanks guys - your size six is fitting him right now).
