This post is especially for Courtney Wall and the folks at Imperial :)
Clayton is 5 months old today. So....an update on life.
When we went to the pediatrician at the beginning of January, Clayton weighed 9 lbs. 10 ozs. and was almost 22" long. But, I suddenly feel like I already posted that. Oh well. All of his measurements were in the 10th percentile for his corrected age (3 months currently). We'll go back to the doctor on February 2nd for his last round of synagis (RSV shot). Hopefully they won't be playing "I've got you, babe" by Sonny & Cher....otherwise, I might have to drive angry. I do love Groundhog Day!
I started back to school January 2nd. Boy, I never thought I'd miss the days in the recliner, but it's sounding pretty good right now. It's been wonderful to be back around my friends at school. And after 4 weeks, I've finally started liking 2 of my 4 geography classes :) Apparently my long-term sub did nothing for a semester. Never required any work to be completed, only gave open-note/book tests, it was ok to be late every day and eat cookies in class......Needless to say, my students were in for a HUGE shock when mean, nasty, and ugly Mrs. Collier came back. The two classes that I like are full of fun kids, but the other two are miserable because several of the kids wear bitter panties every day. They always have a smart remark about everything, but they still haven't figured out that my smart mouth will put them in their place every time.
So....back to Clayton. He's sleeping really well at night. He usually goes down around 7:30ish and wakes up between 3-4:30 to eat and then goes back down. He doesn't sleep much during the day, but I'm not complaining as long as he sleeps at night. I looked at my Sister-in-law's blog the other day and read that my nephew Jackson was eating 8oz when he was 3 months. Holy smokes! Clayton only eats 4oz! We've got to get some weight on Clayton so he can defend himself against Jackson :) He's finally growing some hair on the top of his head. I just wish it was growing uniformly. Clayton also loves to "talk." He makes all kinds of noises.
How long is it until Spring Break?
Hooray!!! You're back. Clayton will let you know when he's hungry. One of my favorite lines from the Count of Monte Cristo implies that size doesn't matter, it's speed that counts. Sometimes those big ones aren't too fast. Jackson may need to increase his speed drills ;)
ReplyDeleteWe'll just have to teach Jackson to behave so that Clayton doesn't have to worry about defending himself. He isn't used to being around babies.
