James is growing quickly! Check here for new pictures and video.
James’ growth thankfully seems to have leveled off a bit this month. He is still in 3-6 month clothing with room to spare.
He has been consistently finding his hands and sucking on his thumb and pointer finger. He’s also smiling a lot, especially in the morning during diaper and clothing changes. He’s standing well with support and sitting in the Bumbo to watch Packer games with mom and dad.
This month, James met his Great Aunt Rita and Great Uncle Jim, and their children Spencer, Cecily and Candace. He also visited Great Grandma Augustin and Great Grandma Ryan again! He met his Uncle Shawn and looks forward to meeting Aunt Ann and Cousins Piper and Elliott soon!
Mom and James took a trip to Madison to see Grandpa Coyne for a day, a well as Uncle Joel. And we have spent lots of time with Grandma and Grandpa Ryan!
James was a ferocious green and purple dinosaur for Halloween! And by ferocious, I mean he was not happy to wear the costume more than 5 minutes!
He enjoyed the last few weeks of our Mom & Baby group and then the big change happened: Mom went back to work on Nov. 2 and James is now at daycare with Ms. Kate during the day. Things are going very well at daycare---Ms. Kate is training him to sleep in the PackNPlay, so we can take family overnight trips soon.
Just got back from the doctor's office! James weighs in at 14 pounds, 10.4 ounces (97th percentile in weight) and he's 24.5 inches long (95th percentile for height).
Yes, our baby is big and healthy! Dr. Dan gave him the A-OK so we're cleared for another 2 months before the next visit.
I attached the growth chart in case you're curious.
Wow, this little guy is really growing fast! When we started month 2, he was still a blob (but a cute blob, at that!). By mid-September, he was really starting to smile more and has begun cooing in the last week or so.
This month, we visited 2 new baby friends, Owen and Sydney, plus we watch Uncle Joel, Grandma Coyne and Daddy all finish the Milwaukee Lakefront Marathon.
We watched a couple Packer games and Mom covered his ears a few times while we vented our frustrations out loud to the TV screen.
We visited lots of friends, including Megan from CO, Ms. Alison, great grandmas Augustin and Pascale, Sean and Sarah, and lots of time with Coynes and Ryans.
James actually enjoys bath time. He's sleeping at least 4-5 hour stretches at night and is getting lots of love from the dogs.
James should have covered his eyes and filled his diaper if he was watching the game.
