Brycen 6months: Brooklyn 3 years old


Brycen:

weight 17lbs4oz: 50%

length 27 inches: 75%

head 44cm: 50%

So Brycen has made some huge leaps these past 2 weeks. He is crawling on his belly all over the house, Brooklyn didn't start this until she was like 8 months. He is everywhere, he does not want to be held or contained, he just wants to be down on the floor. He has also started sleeping at night soo much better. He has always gone to sleep well but had been waking between 12 and 1, and then around 5. The doctor said to try and get rid of the 12am. I tried a few times, letting him cry for up to 45 minutes and kept giving in. Then finally one night, I made it to an hour and he was back to sleep for 4 more hours. The hour that he was crying was more like fussing thankfully because I wouldn't have been able to take it if it was worse. The next 2 nights were better, the second night he woke at 3 for a binky and then slept till 5 the third night the same. Let's hope this keeps up. He has been eating solids for about 2 weeks now as well. First, he didn't like them and would gag, now he loves them. We have been doing one meal a day, dinner and are about ready to make it 2.

Brooklyn started preschool on her birthday and loves it. She does so well when we drop her off, just says bye mom as she is off to play. At home she continues to play with her dolls, she pretends she is the mommy. She does shows for them and concerts. She also loves make believe and is often in her room with Tom pretending something or telling stories. I am really enjoying being home parttime with the kids.
