Update.....

Barrett will be 4 months on Monday. Wow, the time has flown by!

He is progressing amazingly well. You would have never guessed he was a preemie. He is rolling over all the time in his crib from belly to back. He is able to hold his head up, but still wobbles! He is constantly watching everything around him, and Graham and I laugh all the time…Barrett loves watching football, and WW shows on the history channel. I don’t think he could get anymore like Graham! J He tries so hard to be such a big boy, he’s always trying to go somewhere. He is constantly kicking his legs, if you stand him up on your lap, of course he tries to walk. When he’s on his belly, he scoots to the top of his crib (of course he only does this when he’s mad). If he could get his arms and hands coordinating with everything else he would be crawling right now.

One thing Barrett absolutely loves is his bath time! He is growing out of his infant tub, he is now arching his back and kicking with his legs to try and roll over in it. He isn’t quit big enough for the seat in the tub yet. So I guess until he can start using the seat, we will just have to deal with him getting the floors and counters soaked!

I’m starting to notice that a couple of his 6 month clothes are starting to fit tight. L He was at 16 pounds a few weeks ago, and then he got sick and lost a pound. Now, with a full recovery I’m sure he has gained it back with a couple of extra pounds! He goes in for his check up on the 15th. We might try and start him feeding him cereal next weekend. I would like him to be able to hold his head up completely before I start it. However, there are days where it seems like he can’t get enough to eat, so we will just have to play it by ear.
