Weight/height checks and Hayden Jack is 6 months old






The 3 younger boys had weight/height checks. Dominick and Gabe are in the 50-75th percentile for weight and in the 25-50th percentile for height. Nick is 39.4 lbs and 41.5 inches and Gabe is 28.2 lbs and 33.5 inches. Jack of course was still not on the charts for weight or height. He has his 6 month check up with the special pediatrician who specializes in preemie and low weight babies on Monday.
The weather has been soooo warm here that we have been able to wear shorts and be outside enjoying this nice weather.
Hayden Jack is now 6 months old! I cant believe a whole half a year has went by already. Saying goodbye to my newborn years forver :( Now its on to the getting mobile stage :) He is still wearing size 0/3 months clothes (some smaller 3/6 he can wear now), we cloth diaper but in disposables he wears a size 1, and a size 0 in shoes. He eats like a little piggy, he gets 5 6oz bottles per day and 2 stage 2 jars of food per day. He can say mama and is starting to roll over a little more. We are practicing sitting up and sometimes he can sit for a couple of seconds before he falls over. He has 2 teeth. We have moved from the bassinet beside my bed to his crib in his room, and the switch didnt phase him a bit but it definately did me. LOL. He sure can jump up a storm in his jumperoo. He has been loving the warm weather and going outside too. I guess thats all for right now but I will update on Monday after his appointment.

Valentine's Day, 1st Teeth and Rolling Over and MAMA

We had a wonderful Valentines day. The boys enjoyed their gifts and they had a bunch of junk food Connor brought home from school. Later that afternoon, we baked cupcakes together.

Jack got his very 1st tooth this past week, and several days after that tooth #2 decided to poke through. Although they are very cute, this is reminding me that my last baby is growing up :(

He is getting stronger and stronger. He is getting good at rolling over, he isnt rolling all over the floor yet but he is rolling. He does better going from back to belly than he does going belly to back though. But he can go both ways!

And he is getting longer so he can reach his tip toes to the floor while in his jumperoo and that baby can go to town jumping in that thing. Its sooo cute. Today he also started saying mama. He only says it when he starts fussing or wants me to pick him up, but if he's happy and you try to tell him to say it he just looks at you and smiles... silly boy! He also had his very 1st taste of gerber fruit puffs today. He's starting to mash food with his gums and chew now so I broke the gerber puffs in very small pieces and he chews them, He loved them. He had an ear infection this past week also. He went last Sunday to the dr, and they gave him a rocefin shot, then he went back Tuesday and he had to get the 2nd rocefin shot. He's feeling much better and is a happy lil guy :) Nick Nick woke up sounding a bit croupy today and has a croup cough, its not bad though so just giving him some meds and if it gets worse or doesnt go away in a few days I will take him to the dr. He has no fever and is running and playing like normal so its not bothering him LOL.
Yesterday was a beautiful day and we went outside to play. Nick Nick and Gabe played some baseball and they had a blast, Connor didnt want to play ball, he kind of just chilled out.

Guess thats all for now, just wanted to give a small update
