Braxton, I count my blessings everyday because you continue to be an easy-going, laid back baby!! I know that you must get that from your daddy:) This month has been so fun because more of your sweet personality is coming out. I love to watch you play and try new things. I cannot believe how big you are getting...its hard to even imagine you as a newborn anymore.
The facts: You are still a little guy with weight in the 5 percentile but we are not concerned because you are growing at a steady rate and are meeting all of your developmental milestones. On March 28 you tipped the scales at 14.7 lbs.
You have had 2 ear infections this month. You do not fuss at all or run a fever so the only way that we knew was at a doctors appointment.
You continue to be an early riser.....you like to start your day consistently around 5:30AM...boo. Mommy hates getting up so very early but I do love our playtime in the morning after you nurse. Daddy drops you off at school everyday around 7:30AM. You consistently eat 4 6oz bottles at school and then mommy picks you up around 5:45PM. You still are not a great napper and even at school you only take short cat naps throughout the day. This makes for a sleepy boy when we get home at night. Your nighttime routine consists of eating 4 1oz cubes of baby food, followed with a bath because you are a messy, messy eater. This month we have introduced peas, bananas, peaches, mangos, and apples. After bath time, you always are ready to nurse and then bed between 7-8PM. I wish you would play a little at nighttime but you are generally just too sleepy:(
At night, you sleep in your crib with cotton pajamas with a fleece sleep sack. You mostly sleep on your side or your tummy now. Mommy was a nervous wreck the first few nights that you rolled onto your tummy but the nervousness has passed. This month has not been a great night for sleep in the Hill household between coughing, a stuffy nose, and ear infections.
You are still wearing mostly 0-3 month clothes but we are slowly transitioning into 3-6 months. You are wearing size 2 Huggies.

What you are doing: Your daycare was closed for spring break so I took off and stayed home with you. We hung out on the floor ALOT because I was determined that you were going to start rolling really well before you started sitting. I'd say we were successful because by the end of the week you were rolling across the living room. This month you also learned to splash in the tub, and make the Indian noise when I move my hand at your mouth. You are now prop sitting really well and are even sitting independently some. Bad news, you cannot catch yourself at all so when you fall, it's quickly. You like to play with your sippy cup but you have no idea what it's actual function is yet. Ha
Recently you have started a pretty bad habit that we are not fond of. You cry when mommy and daddy leave you alone to play on the floor. It's amazing because there are no tears and you immediately stop if we pick you up. Can anyone say behavior? Ha. We are working through it, meaning you have had to cry it out a few times.
